Errors

iTunes was being a real ass. I bought a bunch of blank RW CDs in hopes of backing up the music I’ve bought off of iTunes, right? Well, for some odd reason, it would spit the CD out after doing a few songs and say “Error 4000”, and something about it couldn’t burn the disk. Well, I tried searching for the problem online, and there were a few options. One was going into the control panel, and when you get to iTunes repairing it. That made it so your computer recognized it as the main audio burning thingy. I tried that, and it really didn’t work. So then I tried the other thing, selecting the “preferred speed” as 8x. At first, that didn’t work either. I figured I’d give it one more chance, and it actually finished burning a CD! I was so excited! I tried to put another CD in and get that to burning too...but then it spit the CD back out with that error again. That’s when I realized the problem. iTunes? It’s a jealous and very distractible program. Yeah, see I clicked on Word, and that made it freak out and stop. So, I tried again, not getting out of the iTunes program and...it worked! I turned off my screen saver, and focused entirely on iTunes. I could move around in the program, but any clicking outside of iTunes shut down the burning process. I don’t know why it’s so crazy, but it totally works. Now I have all my stuff backed up to CD...of course, with all the experimentation, I only have 1 blank disc left =..= But oh well. At least now I know what’s up and can do this on my own.

In other (extraordinarily frustrating) news, my radio for my car? It’s not working right. It’s never been great for catching radio signals really, but it played CDs just fine, and that was what I needed, so I just let that go. But now, it keeps spitting CDs out at me...I keep trying to put them back in, but it just spits it back out again. It’s so annoying! I only just bought that thing in August! And I, of course, have no money to get it fixed...so, I’m in a bit of a bind at this point. Tomorrow, I’m gonna be calling Sam’s Audio (who did the installation) and asking them, very politely, what the hell.

On the brighter side of things, Friday was a real treat. Some of the girls from work and I went to Zen and had hibachi. It was fantastic. I finally caught the egg in my mouth too! Uh...for those who don’t know, the hibachi chief cooks egg and then takes turns throwing it to people at the table for them to catch in their mouths. It was the first time I’ve actually been able to catch the egg! It was awesome. And he was so much fun, and really preformed for us. The rice was awesome...but I’m a sucker for hibachi rice. Mom got Shrimp and I think everyone else got filet mignon.

After we were all finished eating (and a few pictures had been taken) G and I went and watched the 8:00 showing of Madagascar 2. It was so fun. G said it wasn’t as good as the first, but I really disagree. I think it wasn’t better but it was just as good. But you’ll get no secrets from me (because I’m sure you’re just scrolling through this post for Madagascar 2 spoilers u..u). G was starting to feel bad...and truthfully, so was I (but that’s expected this time of the month), so our plans to go to New Orleans to the little Asian markets were totally blown. Which...is a good thing because I work up Saturday feeling like petrified crap on a stick (on a steek!). Mom and I haven’t done much outside the house, and we really have done only a little packing. I’ve done a lot of organizing because I have so many papers and stuffs upstairs =..=

Meh...the Twilight Soundtrack is out...and I has no money =..= I was going to order that with Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion, but there really is no chance of that now. Thank God I get paid Friday, because I’m running low on funds as is. I had wanted to buy Breaking Dawn on audio book too, to listen to on the way up (because the book took me about 4 hours to read, so I figure hearing someone else read it out loud would occupy a lot of time while I’m on the road), but it’s kinda counter productive to have CDs to listen to first if the car CD player DOESN’T WORK! I’m just gonna have to fix that...soon. Still, it doesn’t bother me so much about not getting the Twilight Illustrated Movie Companion, because if I had my druthers, I’d rather have The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, considering it’s hardback and it’s the guide to the whole she-bang, AND it’s by Stephanie Meyer herself. So yeah...of course, that doesn’t come out till December 30 =..= Nya.

I’m gonna go head and go now, before my complaining turns my already sour mood into a terrible one. Quiz Spam to follow. Later, Sunshines.
