fyi.. elton bolton performed at konsul olssons plats on 4th july.. and i missed it, what a shame! i'm no good with photoshop, but feel free to imagine your own elton john/michael bolton hybrid. :)

wrong again

i do not have some weird lamp obsession.. weird lamps just appear in my life, randomly and uninvited.

always always ALWAYS eject!!!!!

IT IS one of the most basic things when disconnecting devices from computers.. and yet, it's probably one of those things most people (? ..or at least i do) "forget" to do. your computer even warns you that "data may be lost if you do not eject the device properly before disconnecting it from the source" (or something to that effect).. but very rarely are any data lost (or at least not the sort of data you'd notice if it was missing).

i synced my ipod (aka douglas) last week.. completely and utterly failed to eject it before disconnecting it from my macbook (aka fry).. BUT obviously waited to disconnect it until the "do not disconnect" message on douglas was shut off. this usually works.. no, not usually, THIS HAS ALWAYS WORKED IN THE PAST.

put on an album and discovered that the album artwork had been wiped. put on another album, then another... ALL WIPED! tried syncing it again, when that failed i tried resetting it. that failed too. re-imported the album artwork to itunes.. but NO! every single album cover was gone.
not the end of the world, but annoying. decided to leave it for a few days, trying to find a way to get the artwork back...somehow. with 10589 files in itunes, restoring it was my very last option.

decided to take the plunge today.. connected douglas to fry, power on, restore button, click.

(lesson learned)

it's taking forever to upload all my music from fry to douglas.. but will defo be well worth it as long as i get my beloved album covers back on douglas!

(erm, wellington brogues.. rubber top-to-toe.. i admit i missed that tiny little detail when i ordered them on the office website.. they'll come in well handy in autumn oxford no doubt though!)

happy sunday everyone!!!

prospectors arrive on repeat...

feel an urgent need to share this beautiful piece of music with you lovely peepsters... lauren and i were both listening to it on repeat when we were chatting on msn the other night...such a nerdy thing to do, yet so good!

clickski-clickski on the linkski: jonny greenwood - prospectors arrive

(jonny...)

the track is from the there will be blood soundtrack by the way...

had another dream about being back in the five library last night. i was, yet again, very bossy and quite angry for some reason...? lauren had bought tickets for a radiohead gig but laurie wouldn't give her the time off as five was launching new channels and rebranding (...why i had not thought to buy a ticket to see my favorite band, i don't know!!!). the details of the dream are fairly vague but one thing i do remember was that in the rebranding "plan", five was adding -able to everything, as in it's five-able etc. very weird, and it didn't make any more sense in my dream than it does in real life!
