I find it interesting that iTunes (oh yes, the iTunes) already does not have anything on about 5 cds I've tried to look up. Oh, yes. Not so happy about that. No, no. I am going to have to resort to calling up my mom to ask her if I can borrow the TAPE for a few weeks. But, hey, I won't have to buy anything, because one of the cd's does not exist for sale anywhere online, except an LP. Uh huh. Like that's convenient. Like I want to carry around a record player and a record. I'm sorry, but vinyls are not that cool. They sound cool, but, uh, where am I supposed to get a working record player nowadays? Do I need to resurrect my Big Bird/Sesame Street one? I don't even know where the bugger is. I guess it also looks cool to have vinyls in one's house along with the record player; but no, sorry, I'm not jealous. I would rather have a cd. I really don't know how to go about hooking up a record player to record a cd into another format either. I'll have to leave that up to someone else. I mean, is there a book that tells one how to do that? Is there even such a thing? (I'm positive there is.) Hmmm. This reminds me of my dad's mistake of not teaching me the basics of hooking up electronics. I asked him to show me a couple of summers ago, but he didn't seem to think it would be needed or even be difficult. Since then, I have run into at least 5 (probably more) situations where that kind of know-how would have been helpful.

Alas, I remain a tv-to-vcr-to-nintendo-to-xbox-to-dvdplayer-to-soundsystem-to-whatever virgin.
