i'm a pixel here, myself

It feels like it should be Saturday. I say this mostly because I had a show last night (it went okay, though the soprano made the first error I've heard her make), but also partly because I like weekends. Instead, it is Thursday and I'm all something; I don't know. The roommate has some woman coming over tonight to look at his room for subletting, and I just can't bring myself to care. That's kind of a shame, because I need to be able to appraise her to see if she'd be worth living with putting up with for a month.

Boy wrote me a really long email that I'm saving for later. He's now in DC, and will be in Germany soon. [/boy update].

So Jensen's doing this movie where he's got a green mohawk and lots of piercings and tattoos and muttonchop sideburns and much of my friendslist is going "AWESOME!" But I am one of those impossibly boring plain-vanilla guys, and though Danny has tried her damnedest to get me to see that it will be hot, I remain convinced that this movie is going to cause the apocalypse by making Jensen unattractive to me. WE SHALL SEE. Obviously, as soon as anyone sees any movie pictures/stills/whatever, they should direct me to them so I can make a better-informed decision.

My iPod has started down the road of death. Not from any software malfunction, as I have seen with many of you, but with the headphone jack -- it now won't transmit the left channel to my headphones, so I only get sound in the right ear. I've checked, and it's not the headphones. It may be replacement time; fortunately I've got a little chunk in the bank with "discretionary income" written all over it. The difficulty now is in deciding what kind to get.

Things to keep in mind: my current iPod is 20GB and is not full. I have about 18GB of music, but I don't listen to a good deal of it. Slimming my music down to 2 or even 4GB would be hard, and rotating things would be a pain, but the Nano *is* smaller, lighter, and easier to lose slightly cheaper. On the other hand, if I get a full-size iPod in either 30GB or 60GB (which, wow -- it's hard for me to even conceive of 60GB of music), I will never have an incentive to go through my music collection and get rid of the things I don't ever listen to, which I really should do at some point. The plus side, obviously, is a huge hard drive and the possibility of taking video with me without taking my computer, as when I fly to PA next week for a friend's wedding and will not have 'net access for four days (OH MY GOD HOW WILL I LIVE?!). That might mean some frantic downloading at the beginning of next week, but it would be awesome to have something like that.

Because all decisions in my life must be handled through my friendslist, a poll:

And, finally, it has come to my attention that I do not have a sunny, beaming Jared icon. This is Just Not Right. Oh LJ, fount of knowledge, link me to your favorite beaming Jared pictures!
