today i went running.
and i got some corned beef, which got simon all excited.
i also spent quite a few hours adding album covers to my iTunes library, now that iTunes 4 is out. i seem to have a lot of albums that amazon claims it only has 1 or 2 of in stock. the rendezvous stuff will be nice when i get my laptop back. it's Ready to Ship, so will hopefully get here before the weekend (although i'm not holding my breath).
the iTunes store is an interesting little thing. there are quite a few cases where it ends up bing a realy good deal - such as radiohead or zwan singles where getting the 2 or 3 b-side tracks would be a good deal at $3. and getting albums like 2112 which have only 6 tracks for $6? i won't even bring up the greatest american hero theme song.
but there are some problems.
the iTunes store doesn't have a lot of stuff yet. i didn't find any: bt, aphex twin, the white stripes, pete tong, led zeppelin, paul oakenfold, zwan, and a bunch of other stuff i tried. and no zwan/radiohead singles, either.
also, iTunes 4 makes "auto searches" (when you have the track list selected, and just type some characters) jump to things in the column that's currently being sorted, rather than just by song name which it used to do. i can understand it doing this, but i used the old feature all the time and i think the new one isn't as good, since i keep my library sorted by artist, not song name.
