The Adventures of Frustration


Today I took the DVDs I had checked out, back to the library. Question. How do you turn materials back in on a Sunday when the library is closed and there are no apparent return slots outside the building? Good thing I turned it in today, a Friday. Also, we went to the sports store. There are some brands I'm going to have to research because I have never heard of them, but they are still kind of expensive. Happens that right next door there was an Aldi's. Got some excellent canned peaches. Cookies were ok.

Ok now for the frustration. I have restarted my computer 10 or so times in the last day. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes now 7 times in that same day. Several calls to apple and a couple of emails and we will see if they keep the overall positive feeling I've had for their support in the past. "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." This message gets more and more mind numbingly disheartening each time I reinstalled iTunes. I open it up and bam! Message still there. Of course my CD burner IS working. And I can import music WITH ITUNES. Yet message still there. Artichoke...

On a positive note I am liking these songs right now:

Back on the Chain Gang - The Pretenders
Dead Sound - The Raveonettes
The Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone
HoppĂ­polla - Sigur Ros
Moving - Macaco
Everlasting God - Chris Tomlin
Fugitive - David Gray
