First off, I decided to purchase some music from iTunes, which my computer downloaded and processed at a mind-numbingly slow rate. Then, it lost 3 of the files which I had to re-purchase.
Secondly, my computer (in many ways other than the iTunes debacle) is a piece of crap, and I really hope that if Obama can pass this stimulus package, I'm seriously buying a freaking laptop.
Thirdly, Circuit City didn't have anything worth purchasing in their liquidation sale.
Fourthly, the air in Maplewood smells like farts. Seriously, I think the sewers are belching!
Finally, I didn't get a callback for STAGES. That's life, I guess.
The only bright lights?
1. watching a deliciously campy shot-on-a-soundstage-and-they-weren't-apologizing-for-it DVD of Salome from 1974 with Teresa Stratas in the title role and Karl Böhm conducting.
2. seeing my good friend Charlie Martinez, who is in town for a production of I Pagliacci, at Dressels.
Thankfully, my day wasn't a complete drag.

Crap. I was going to go to Circuit City myself to see if they had any neat laptops I could get on the cheap.
You have to be careful with iTunes though.. The program itself is a memory hog, as I've found like.. 3 copies of the same damn song in 3 different locations on my computer.
Circuit City (where I live at least) is only discounting them at 10%. I'm sure that may change closer to March, but it's pretty hard to get a good deal when their liquidator has most likely bought all the merch. and doesn't want to lose too much money themselves.
iTunes has since promised to credit my account for the re-purchases. And the program is, as you say, a total memory hog. But I can't live without it. :(
Maplewood is fart-tastic? See? I leave St. Louis and I miss everything!
