I use iTunes. I wouldn't but I have one of those mp3 players Bono likes.

Oops, I forgot to add the words "pay for"

Do you have to pay for iTunes?

That's what I get for not previewing.

Launch?

I have a Mac. It was pre-installed and makes agreeable noises. That's about the extent of my knowledge (Well, I maybe know a bit more than that). I don't even use the music store because that involves, like, money and numbers and plastic and stuff.
 
 
Liger Null
23:40 / 02.06.05
Oh, and you can never have enough Bowie.
 
 
iamus
23:41 / 02.06.05
Ah, that clears things up a bit.

iTunes is free, I think. The music store will take your money if you let it.

Why hello, Triplets!
 
 
Liger Null
23:45 / 02.06.05
Launch is some kind of free online music-station thing. It skips and pauses more than my grandma's old turntable.

RECOGNISE!
 
 
Liger Null
23:47 / 02.06.05
I'd get an ipod but I refuse to pay $500 for what is basically a walkman.
 
 
iamus
23:48 / 02.06.05
Su....Sue.....


Sue?
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:50 / 02.06.05
IT IS I!
 
 
iamus
23:54 / 02.06.05
In that sense, Liger, you are a better human than I. The only thing that stops me is that it's price tag is actually higher than my bank balance.

Welcome, Sue.

Improper use of apostrophe!

I'll never live it down.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:59 / 02.06.05
I'm so apostrophe mad these days, I worry about myself.
 
 
iamus
00:06 / 03.06.05
It's an apostrophe catastrophy!
 
 
alas
00:10 / 03.06.05
Cat's trophy. Hello all.
 
 
iamus
00:13 / 03.06.05
alas, my autobiography is full of apostrophe catastrophies of calligraphy.
 
 
iamus

I've been abandoned.

...surely it's almost Keggers O'Clock?
 
 
Liger Null
00:55 / 03.06.05
Hey there!

Was writing a lenghty post (for me, that is) in the Head Shop...
 
 
iamus
01:01 / 03.06.05
That's Ok then Liger, I forgive you. I also appreciate that a head Shop post could suck up that kind of time.

You know, now that you mention it, I think that after seven or so months, I have yet to post in Head Shop. It's not an intimidation thing or not having something to say or anything like that, I just seem to get halfway through those posts and never finish them.
 
 
iamus
01:03 / 03.06.05
I might break that tradition in a moment though. That looks like an interesting thread.
 
 
alas
01:27 / 03.06.05
I've been trying to get work done, so I've sort of shifted away from the head shop altogether. But I believe that's going to change--a sort of summer's resolution not to get real work done...

Sorry about the absence--I got called away from the computer by ... well, nothing very interesting, but unavoidable. However, I am back. Shift away with me, ye shiftless ones....
 
 
iamus
01:35 / 03.06.05
You know, I really do think I'm on the verge of my very first Head Shop post. I'm a little tipsy so I can never be entirely sure of how it reads, but I think it's rather coherent and I'm about to hit post....

It feels a little odd.
 
 
Liger Null
01:39 / 03.06.05
Preview it a couple times. That's what I do.


It's sleepy time for me.

*yawns*

Good night shifters!
 
 
alas
01:42 / 03.06.05
Good night, Liger.

Go for it, Meludreen. That thread's pretty conversational for a headshop thread, and I just joined the bandwagon. Come on! Everybody's doing it! (Peer pressure!!)
 
 
iamus
01:44 / 03.06.05
Night Liger!

It is done.

Curious feeling of relief
 
 
alas
01:45 / 03.06.05
(I do also wonder where Keggers is. Let's all go to our back doors and yell his name, "Keggers! Come Home! We're Worried!")
 
 
alas
01:48 / 03.06.05
Hey! Congrats. Better yet, rather than shouting all over our neighborhoods for the kegman, let's just drink a toast to your valiant foray into the wilds of headshoppery. Cheers.
 
 
iamus
01:49 / 03.06.05
It's 4:49 BMT and he's still not here...

Anything could have happened......
 
 
iamus
01:49 / 03.06.05
-Clink-
 
 
iamus
01:50 / 03.06.05
If anything is likely to flush Keggers out, it's the prospect of a toast.

Anybody got any grog?
 
 
alas
01:53 / 03.06.05
No grog, just some cheap red wine (initially I typed "read wine"--I kinda like what that does to my brain...)... But I don't think keggers usually sniffs at wine.

But, hell, if he's not going to join us, should we waste more precious broadband mourning his absence?
 
 
iamus
02:01 / 03.06.05
You're absolutely right.

I've had some fine Scottish Single Malt (capitals extremley important don't you know) whiskey, and a couple of far less fine cans of Miller. I feel that if I'm slumming it with beer, then I should at least pull myself up with the spirits.

(That's not true. What I really feel is that if I don't have to pay for it, I'll drink anything).
 
 
alas
02:07 / 03.06.05
What I really feel is that if I don't have to pay for it, I'll drink anything

...as good a philosophy of life as any other, I'd say.

I bought some sunflowers last week on a whim at the grocery store, and now they are so forlorn-looking, dried up, curled up like ... floral roadkill.
 
 
iamus
02:13 / 03.06.05
That's just a supermarket conspiracy to get you to buy more flowers. If you grow your own, they not only last longer but you can choose patches intelligently so that your garden is always in bloom.

But just for you....



I don't know what it is about rhodedendron blooms. It's a really common plant, I just love the way the flowers look.
 
 
alas
02:15 / 03.06.05
Oh I know I know. I actually do have many a flower blooming in my front garden right now. But I've got a thing for sunflowers. Maybe it's a Van Gogh kind of thing, but I don't plan to cut my ear off or anything, fyi.

But, you're right. Rhododendrons are simply Mahvelous.
