After much finagling I finally managed to get the music off of the iPod last night, song by individual song. So today I’m spending the day working on importing the CDs that we’d previously imported a couple of months ago while Eddie is at work. It gives me something to do and keeps me out of my own head, which is a decidedly bad thing lately. So I’m starting with one CD book and then going on to the less-listened to disks.

We had fun yesterday, going to Providence Place and hanging out there for a few hours. We each got a pair of new Airwalk sneakers (although I had my heart set on some bright pink Docs), then came home to use the bathrooms and see if there were any good thrift stores around our house. We hit 2 Salvation Army stores and a smaller consignment shop before we headed to the grocery store to grab some food. I decided that I wanted to cook, so I picked up some swordfish steaks and some stuff for side dishes, then we came home and played with the computers a little bit. We ended the night by watching the last few episodes of Firefly and part of SNL before falling asleep.

Listening to: Corey Hart - Never Surrender

I’m absolutely in love with this song. It was one of the iTunes free singles a week or so ago.

We have done absolutely nothing today. We’ve sat at home and played WoW all day, went to Spike’s for lunch, then came home and played more WoW, which we’re still playing right now. We’ve gained one level and are about halfway to our next. Eddie just gave me an adult beverage of Coke and vodka, and I’ve got the tunes playing while we quest and trash talk the rest of the guild. Eddie bought me The Crane Wife by The Decemberists, which I’m loving at the moment.

We’re expecting snow tomorrow night. I’m less than thrilled. We’re going to my uncle’s house in the afternoon and then to Mom’s house for a movie. This week’s movie is Memento, which Eddie and I have seen before but no one over there has had the chance yet. With any luck it won’t start snowing until after we get home, and will just be flurries in the morning for the drive to work.

Oh, and Go Pats!

Another fun-filled day is done. After a truly long and grueling day at work, Eddie and I went to dinner and had some seriously good food. We showered and made fun of our drama queen of a cat who sat in the bathroom and cried because he couldn’t join us, and when he did try to get into the shower with us he cried because it was wet in there.

I downloaded a few more songs tonight to load up onto the iPod. Anyone got any suggestions of music you like to rock out to?

Somehow I don’t think that this weekend is going to be very good here at home.

I’m battling a cough that tends to show up just as we get comfortable in bed or on the couch or, even worse, in the middle of the night. The night before last, Eddie went out and slept on the couch because I wouldn’t stop, and so last night I went out and slept in the living room at the first sign of coughing. He gets annoyed about this (or so I’m made to feel anyway). I feel like I’m fucked either way, because regardless of which one of us sleeps out in the living room, one of us is going to be pissed off; he’s pissed because I can’t just turn the coughing off and nothing helps it, I’m pissed because I don’t feel like he should have to sleep on the couch because of my problems, not to mention the fact that he’s a foot taller than me and it isn’t entirely comfortable out here.

Eddie doesn’t feel good today, which means that he’s snarky at me for no good reason whatsoever. I’m off my meds and trying to adjust to actually responding rationally to him being bitchy towards me, thus I snark right back at him (even if I think I had every right to do so). I’m not tired, and he is, so I’m essentially alone while he sleeps, having to keep quiet so as not to wake him up out here.

We’re fighting over the iPod because I have maybe 15 CDs that I really like compared to his 300 or so in the cases, and he doesn’t seem to like anything that I want to put on it, but I lost 3gb of MP3s during the move last summer when my external drive died, so none of my music is really getting put on it unless I want to download all of my stuff all over again and import it all over again. And yet I’m told, “Can you at least put some music on it that I like too?” I’m sorry, but aside from experimenting with importing some FFXI MP3s (which I deleted afterward), it’s all stuff he likes, because it’s all his CDs that I’m importing. His Tenacious D, his Tragically Hip anthology, his Spice Girls, Bif Naked and Brittany Spears… there’s maybe 2-3 songs on each CD that I actually like enough to listen to.

And this is all petty shit, I realize, but it’s my petty shit, and if I want to sulk about it, then I will.
