Overload
The other night I thought I was going to implode…or explode ~ I wasn’t sure which! I had downloaded a TV show a while back to my iTunes thinking I’d burn a DVD and watch it in the living room. Apparently, one cannot do this. So, I decide Wed. night that I would just watch it on the laptop in the living room…..but hmmmm…how to get it to the lap top… I decided to copy it on to my iPhone and transfer it to the iTunes on my laptop ~ yeah, that’s the ticket!
So, I downloaded this show to my iPhone, and, in the process, wiped out my music on the iPhone for some reason (really, I am not this tech retarded, but this thing is getting the best of me). Then I plugged the iPhone into the laptop only to find that the version of iTunes on it needed to be upgraded in order to use the iPhone with it. Then, in order to upgrade the ITunes, I had to upgrade Safari, then in order to use that, I had to upgrade Quicktime. And, after all that, I could not transfer the stupid damned show that I didn’t even want to watch anymore to the iTunes on the laptop. GRRRRRRRRR.
And, while all these things were downloading & installing, I was patiently, updating my address book on my computer from my old cell phone so I could sync them ~ again ~ because the first time, I somehow wiped out all my old cell numbers and replaced them with my email address book from my computer.
I just want a rotary phone and a typewriter at this point.

Pen and paper ? A trip to the movies ? ;)
I long for simpler times often. This technology stuff can be great but man, when it goes wrong, it goes wrong ! And feels like a big waste of time !!!
I hope you find some simple, quiet moments, Lovely BJ !
