The iTunes Store?

Well, well, well, I've finally got around to updating my blog. To me it feels like it's been a really long time since I posted anything, but I have still been making my weekly updates. I think, well, I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any.

A few weeks ago I won a gift card to the iTunes store. It was worth 25 dollars, which I thought was pretty cool, and because I never win anything ever, well hardly ever, I was pretty pleased. Thank you Coca-cola, and you're welcome for all the soda's I've bought through the years.

The prize gift card spent the inital part of it's life in my care living in my inside coat pocket, but once I had a little more free time. I decided to try out my card on the iTunes store. I had never used iTunes to buy music prior to this so it was a new experince for me.

After I scratched the number cover thingy off the card, and inputted the card number, I was ready to start shopping. I found the process easy and user friendly. Sometimes I found that the search gave some results that I wasn't looking for, but over all that wasn't really a big deal.

The only part that I had a hard time with was just that I didn't get any kind of solid object to go with my purchase. I understand that that's not how it works, but a big part of buying music for me is getting the CD or record, so to download a digital copy of an album was new to me. Overall, I think it was a good experince, and I'd probably do it again, the next time I win and iTunes gift card.

So I suppose you might be wondering what I bought. Well, I'm gonna tell you.
I bought Al Green: Greatest Hits, and The Rolling Stones Out of Our Heads. Both of which are good albums. Check them out.

Need a Reason to Celebrate?

How about the Magazine project is done. Cloud Nine was sent to the printer this afternoon. I think this is how Charlie Sheen feels, when he's uh, being Charlie Sheen.

Anyway, in celebration of this momentous occasion:

My Music Collection.

I was thinking today about my blog and what my next post, this post, should be about. As I thought about it I sort of realized that I haven’t really talked all that much about my collection of music on this blog, even though my blog is mostly about the music I listen to. So I decided I’d post some pictures of what my collection looks like. I won’t make a list or anything, it would take too long. I don’t have pictures of every one of my records, just some of the ones that have recently added to my collection.

Some of the pictures seem to be rotated incorrectly. Some have the top on the side and some are upside down. I can't really understand why. They all face the correct way on my computer. I kinda feel like blogger has ruined my post. If I knew how to change the rotation I would, but I don't. If anyone knows how please let me know. I don't think I should try to upload them again, because I'm sure the same thing will happen. Shucks.

I was hoping this would be a cool blog post. Oh well, you'll just have to tilt your head or do a handstand. sorry for the inconvenience.

Travel Assignment: Hot Dogs and Burgers and Fishing and Hot Dogs

And I’m back from my Lockport travel-adventure assignment. You could probably say we left there a little early, and you could probably say we got there a little late. And, if you did, you’d probably be right, but while you were saying that, it would probably give me a little bit of time to think. And, if you did that, I’d probably say something like, yeah, but we went everywhere. Because you see, Lockport’s not really that big. We left no stone unturned, and there’s snow. You go find a stone. I dare you.

Okay, but let’s get back on course. We went to the burger places and stuff it was pretty fun, we had lunch, we drove around a bit. They have a museum there. It was closed. We took pictures.

But the best thing that happened was when Tristan, Brendyn, and I were pursuing a Catfish story. Erica was doing a hot dog story. Anyway, we had to walk down this hill thing, or riverbank. I don’t know which describes it better. It was by the river. Okay, so the three of us walk down this slippery embankment.

We got some video of Tristan. It was pretty good.

Then we just talked to fishermen and got our stories.



Tristan wanted to listen to James Brown on the way back, that was pretty cool.
