I have a cold, urgh

[jedishampoo]

I have what I think is my first cold in, what, three years? The cold winter and stuffy indoors of Indiana have done me in. How annoying! Oh, cold medicine, wherefore art thou?

AND I hear that a nice snowstorm is on its way here. Apparently we'll have three to five inches for the morning drive tomorrow! Yay.

But now for the good: I has a Kindle! Or at least, I will in a couple of days, when it's delivered to me. I didn't get the nice big-screen one (pricey), but I got the one with nationwide 3G and free wireless. Then if I decide I need a book and I'm sitting in a cornfield somewhere, I can still download it. :)

AND I finally got my iTunes all whipped into shape and have my iPod Nano-- the one I got nearly a year ago-- up and running well and being used regularly. I even bought some new music. Yes, I downloaded an album by Ke$ha. Yes, I'm ashamed. I also got me some new Duran Duran, woo! To get my street cred back, I got some stuff from Charlotte Hatherley, too. speaking of music, I'll post the answers to the un-guessed songs tomorrow or the next day to the music meme!

And oooh-- one of my new friends (waves to new friends from usxuk friending meme), jazzchyk, has done a picture of America from one of my stories! I had a goofy UK x US story called Infinity to One and it had a very dorky America wearing an Elvira dress for Halloween in a misguided attempt to scare England to death. Anyway, she's done this awesome drawing!

Check out America in the dress (better called by the artist, ‘Alfred, Mistress of the Dork’ (on her dA).

Argh. I hope you feel better soon.

Enjoy your Kindle. Hey, I like most of Lady Gaga, so don't feel bad about Ke$ha, who I only know by name. Now that Ally is no longer going out with He Who Cannot Be Named, she's free to like as much pop music as she wants -- he only liked alternative.

Thank you! I'm hoping tomorrow will be the day I'm getting over this (everyone says it's a "three-day" thingum).

I used to be an all-alternative girl myself... then I became a "all my CDs at least 10 years old" girl and lately I've been listening to top-40. There's been some catchy stuff lately. :)

The only reason I know any music that's less than 10 years old myself is either because of Ally or because it's the soundtrack for a video someone's posted. XD
