Late gifts and such

So my last lesson of the day today was that swedish pancakes minus the bacon taste much better upon reheating. I didn't think that the lack of bacon would affect the consistency much but it did...became too wet and quiche like .. yech.. No, I don't like eggs okay. I don't like the taste and I don't like the feel.

Sooo...finally got my xmas gift from my parents, the dell mp3 player. The smallest version. First off, whoever writes their product manual should be shot. Secondly, whose lamebrain idea was it to not include a product manual in the package? unless my parents managed to forget to put it in the package? Had to go to the website to download. AFter I did that I was much disappointed to find that they only told you how to put music on w/ Musicmatch Jukebox and the Dell jukebox manager. That was it (which nothing against jukebox, but I haen't ever used it). So after much fiddling w/ the dell manager I decided to see if it was possible to do w/ Windows Media player---it is, and it's a hell of a lot easier!! So now my player has most if not all of my music off my harddrive...sadly that ain't all my music. I've been lazy in ripping cds. But now I can and if i start to run out of room on the harddrive I can just delete what I've already ripped over.

And I'm not sure I like the case that came w/ it...I mean, it's just a pain in the ass to put on and you have to squeeze and jam the player so hard to get the cover over it that I'm scared to death I'm going to damage something. But I don't know if it's a good idea to charge it in the case due to heat buildup. Sigh..I'll look around some more.

But yeah, I have my player...so now no more excuses about not going downstairs to the gym to work out:P:( Hehehe.

Other than that, I kinda echo the sentiments of the futon critic -- blah. I don't know, I just really felt like the script could have been a lot tighter! I mean, a lot. As in, I'd sorta predict what the character would say next...and they would but they'd say it in three sentences instead of 5 words. And the extra words didn't have a special meter or eloquence to them that I caught. However, whoever plays the sorta evilish young guy that we only saw talking once although he was big in the previews for tomorrows, he seems to be a great actor. He just has an energy that almost everyone else in the show is lacking. The lead girl is okay...but when everyone she plays off is flat she really doesn't stand out alot. Dunno, maybe some stuff was cut but I wasn't impressed. I guess it can't be fun to have been under Joss's wing and then strike out on your own. To constantly have your work compared to that..well, not fun I imagine. I dunno, maybe it's also that PP doesn't have a large stable of writers yet. I mean, that was the thing about joss's shows---they always had a ton of writers. And seriously, I love the second version of Serenity when they went back and addressed Fox's original criticisms -- i felt like they really tightened the show and the pacing up. And when I read the shooting scripts and compare those to the aired episodes, I still always think what aired was better--it's just tighter. I think that wherever that tightening occured - script revision, directing, or the edit room - it was lacking here.

So to sum up, still waiting for the Inside:)

Oh, and I got my feed-back-athon assignment today...so be prepared for recs...and recs outside of just firefly too...just warning you so noone faints when reading their flists:)

And check out one of my new icons---this marks an epic point in my lj life. For the first time, I have more non-firefly related icons than firefly icons in my user pics!! And thanks to fritters incredibly cute creations!

WTF

Okay...verizon is apparently having some issues again...the Strawberries website went to the distinctly unspiffy version that I had before a couple of weeks ago and the counter went from 400+ to 108. WTF?? I paid my phone/dsl bill I swear!! Hopefully it is fixed by in the morning. Just a head's up.

Goooodddd....I hope I have all the layout code saved.
