iTunes

Hey.. yeah, just been out of sorts lately, you know, the same old chestnut -- women, and the role they play in society. You should try googling or wikipedia'ing them, the results are hilarious and somewhat informative, but ultimately unsatisfying, much like the creatures themselves!

Anyway, I was moved to write about iTunes YET AGAIN with a minor rant. Actually not a rant so much as a ... well, whatever. What's up with iTunes random play? iTunes calls it "shuffle" which seems to give an order number to each track. The crux of the problem is that this is only done ONCE per session -- so every time you play a certain track, you always hear the same one immediately afterwards. I mean really, finding a random song is SURELY not that difficult.

I've stopped buying tracks on iTunes. Too much hassle! Actually it just didn't seem to make sense, since I could buy used CDs for about the same price. Hmm, but maybe I'll give it another go, since I haven't bought any music in a while and I need some new stuff. Radiohead, Faith No More, Pixies and The Ricky Gervais Radio show are taking up much of my headphone time.

News.. none, have I. I was very hung over Sunday, so I missed a poker game but that's ok because I also missed being out in the new cold of December. Which reminds me, is lip balm such a good thing? It seems that the one time I forget to use it, my lips become EXTRA chapped and frayed, as if all the mollycoddling has rendered them especially prone to drying. On the other hand, while unsightly, chewing that frayed skin is kind of fun.
