iPod Espresso Murder!

[c9]

...or rather: iPod; Espresso; Murder.

1. When my iPod Shuffle is plugged in to the desktop's USB port, and then the desktop is powered on, it hangs at the BIOS logo and refuses to boot. How annoying. Nothing more frustrating than non-spec hardware. Except for everything else about computers that's frustrating.

2. The failure to boot until I had removed just about every cable and component in turn, checking them all, led me to thinking about the eventual death of our desktop. So I want this as a replacement. Gimme gimme gimme. Maybe someday I'll actually have that kind of technology toy spending money too.

3. Dear Lazyweb: please find some deep and fascinating meaning in this:

Hehe, ahh the joys of hockey. I was catching the GO bus back to Brampton from Union Station and I kid you not. The whole place was overrun by people dressed in blue and white maple leafs. Not just that, the whole city seemed to be teeming with them. In Toronto, you can tell when its gonna be hockey night. :D

My brother and I watched Lost and then saw some team win the Baseball World Series. I miss watching hockey. :(

Too bad for NHL that this TV season is ridiculously full of good shows. :p

The only time I've been on a GO train was on Lakeshore (to Mississauga) as a Jays game was letting out. I'm not exactly fearful of crowds, but everyone has their limit.

Did your first day of fasting go okay? Ramadan started yesterday at sundown, right?

Yep! The first fast is always the hardest. I'm assuming things will get easier after Oct. 15 when my Mom flies into the country to visit. She will be making lots of delicious treats for fast breaking time. Seems like I'll have to rush home earlier to get them while they're hot. So excited about good not-made-by-me food!
