Burn it Off

my self-inflicted panopticon failed.

blink 182 - adam's song (off a mix-cd)
pain



for some reason i had no desire to sleep last night....odd. i guess that's what happens when i have no stress. i went out to hang out with vaness and brad to eat dinner, got back around midnight or a bit after and watched a lotta tv. i sat down at some point (i forget what time, but terminator was on IFC...watched most of that) to burn some cd's to take home. i started a tradition of burning cd's for my brother and sister for christmas (just a little 'extra' to whatever present i was getting them) of the music i'd been listening to that i thought they'd like.

either way, when i sat down to do it...i realized i have no cd burning software 'cause i reformatted and installed xp at the beginning of the year. then i found that windows media player can do it. then i realized that last year i didn't organize ANY of my media files...so i had shit EVERYWHERE. made compiling playlists rather difficult 'cause i had to go searching for all my songs. so i aborted burning in favor of organizing. doing a search on wmp spit out 1680 or so mp3's. JESUS. didn't know i had that many....i haven't downloaded ANYTHING this semster...i don't even have any fileshares.

eventually got it all together and deleted like, a half dozen useless folders that i had spread out over two partitions of my harddrive. turns out i forgot to delete some originals when i backed them up and had SO many doubles....deleted so much i had to defrag that drive. i think i went to bed at like 8am. wasn't even all that tired...just figured i should. but now my music is all nicely indexed in folders :) the jazz songs were the hardest 'cause half of them could go under like, three different folders....i tried to be consistent, we'll see if i can find 'em again.....

this must've been a pretty boring psot for you. it was interesting to me, though :)
