I had a fabulous weekend. Lots of fun and fun people.<\/p>\n
Sunday was the day I caught up on all my errands and chores. While I was out grocery shopping, I decided to give myself a treat and go to Eastside Records<\/a>. It’s a great record shop near where I live. My co-worker had recommended it. She said that poeple who work in the industry sold their extras there, and they were cheap.<\/p>\n Cheap is good! They had a lot of different things for sale: CDs, Vinyl, VHS and DVDs. There was not very much organization; they are really set up to browse. They only have the mediums organized into general categories, such as rock & pop, COuntry & Folk, etc. No other order is imposed on the stacks. But there is a lot of room, and things are cheap.<\/p>\n I was thrilled to pick up the latest Alanis Morrissette <\/a>CD and the latest Counting Crows<\/a>. I’m gonna get pissed and depressed really good!<\/p>\n Anyway, I didn’ t have a chance to listen to them at home, so I brought the CDs to work. I have a huge set of headphones plugged into my computer.<\/p>\n My boss jokes that I look like I’m landing planes. I tell him that at least no one will talk to me and THINK I’m hearing them when I’m really listening to music.<\/p>\n Whatever. I’m not buying new headphones to please him.<\/p>\n So I pop in the Alanis CD into my CD rom, all set to be pissed.<\/p>\n No Dice.<\/p>\n I pop in Hard Candy, ready to be depressed if I can’t be pissed.<\/p>\n No luck.<\/p>\n KNOW WHY? The stupid record execs, who had made these two enhanced CDs, have forgotten to put a listening link on the menu of choices available.<\/p>\n Didn’t they realize that people who would use the enhanced CD technology would be the same people who use their computers to listen to the CD? HOWEVER, I cannot listen to the CDs I paid for.<\/p>\n Sheesh. Get a clue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had a fabulous weekend. Lots of fun and fun people.
