  • Ripping CDs into iTunes is taking forever. Man! I'm glad I finally have my various bits of technology arranged in a reasonable way to make it worth doing, but 300+ CDs is a big project. And no, I'm not ripping to 320kbps .ogg or anything, just boring 160 MP3. So far I don't care enough about fidelity I guess.
  • Seriously, WTF is with duvet covers? Are we not meant to have duvet and cover fit together and stay that way?!
  • A good friend had a crappy week last week, and I hope he's doing OK.
  • We have a new tree in our front yard! It's like 5 feet high, so hopefully it will do better than the little 1 foot high one that didn't survive the winter.
  • So much travel for work these days. Ottawa on Monday (one night), Saint John (!) on the following Monday (two nights), then Calgary the day after I get back for one night, then Vancouver the Tuesday after that for one night... eeek! Mississauga for a week in May, Edmonton for a week in June. I'm still enjoying it, mostly because I know it will all settle down soon and I'll look like a cost-centre to the company again until the fall.
  • Now that I'm teaching again I'm remembering the things that drove me batty about teaching... the loss of control and the disconnect from the rest of the company will be weird. I've gotten used to knowing everyone and having answers to every question, but now we've got lots of new faces around the office and I have no idea who they are.
  • I'm going to see Puppetry of the Penis on Saturday. I only know a tiny bit about it (the obvious bit I guess).
  • I'm running out of things to say, and the gas and water bills are staring at me. Make them stop staring.

PPotP was quite amusing. I got to see it for free a few years ago, and left feeling it would have been worth paying for. Luckily, having a friend on the inside meant I didn't have to!

Duvet covers: I should take my own advice because I have the same problem but I have bigger metaphorical fish to fry. Sew a ribbon inside each cover of the cover and on each corner of the duvet and then tie them together.

Penis Puppetry: Rented a video of it on the cable box and it was pretty good.

*Ribbons*?? You clearly think I'm more gay than I actually am. :-)

(good idea!)

I use safety pins. Big ones. The trick seemed to be using five or six all the way across the top instead of just two at the corners.

I do! I will be free Tuesday evening from 5pm onward, I'd love a visit! We're coming to town in May though, so if it's any trouble don't worry about it.
