When the 24-hour Mac store (previously evidence of a good and loving god) has to send you to Best Buy for something, there is much wrong with the world.

On page 60 of A Song for Arbonne. Blaise reminds me very much of an old lover of mine, and it's funny. That said, the writing style is a mix of things I really love and a mix of things I really don't, but the book is, at the moment, suggesting that it has depths I was afraid it didn't, so I am hopeful.

Do you know what sucks? Having to work an overnight shift on a Friday and a Saturday (not this one, the one after).

Since I am not going to 800 dance events (that was sort of awesome) this week, I am really, really going to try to be daily with the fencing practice this week. We'll see what happens. If I keep saying it....

Mac running OS 10.3.x
Logitech headphone/mic combo
Audacity


Worked once, perfect. Audacity continues to work for inputs from the computer mc and outputs to the computer speakers, but refuses to record now when input/outputs are set to the headset.

Errors suggest checking things like compression, but everything else remains at the default settings. This feel like one of those notorious mac glitches.

Anyone?

I'm not at the computer now, but will be able to poke at it tomorrow.

I hate Best Buy. I had to buy something there today, bought it, tried to pay with my PayPal card, was told it was declined, paid with my debit card. I come home, check my paypal statement -- guess what -- the funds were taken from my paypal account, so I paid for the thing twice. So now I have to go fight with Best Buy. I am unhappy. That said, the PayPal people explained the whole process to me, and I feel confident that this will eventually resolve itself.

In other news, I got to the next round for the book review thing at Gather, so I have to set up a phone interview. Yay. That's nice.

Speaking of Gather, where is my big check from them? Where oh where?

Dinner.
