My beloved mp3 player (a Sansa SanDisk m250) is on its last legs, sigh. I'd been thinking I needed to replace a lot of my rechargeable batteries, as it was suddenly turning off occasionally (I figured the batteries were losing their efficiency), but it happened several times on the way home tonight with a regular battery fresh out of the package ( Read more... )

Squee! Got an answer from the ROM!!!! :> I guess flattery does get you somewhere- I had mentioned that I loved the fact that the gallery was open, and I'd also added at the end that I felt the ROM is actually better than the Met in terms of how the textiles are displayed (which is true- I was surprised when I went at how few were being displayed ( Read more... )

Oooooo! New Heather Dale CD! Okay, technically two, since she's rereleasing her dance cd, but I still have my old copy of that one somewhere.

This was too good not to share- we're in the middle of heart month, where each department competes with activities to raise money. IT hosted a pizza lunch and this is the advertisement they sent out this morning. ;)

At first, **** refused to drink our pop, so we made his computer operate intermittently ( Read more... )
