eighthphaseMy new iPod came today! It was quite a surprise, since I wasn't expecting it until later in the week. At any rate, Balmung mk2 is gorgeous and amazing and I only wish the app store were easier to mindlessly browse. /: (Also that you could transfer playlists between iPods. Unfortunately, you can't! So I was lazy and remade a couple, then decided to just copy over my whole music library. After all, Balmung mk2 has 32 gigs of memory, four times its original! And I only have about 9.5 gigs of music total - and some of it isn't mine, so I don't want it - so it's not like I don't have tons of space now anyway.)
Although I did make the mistake of saying to my mum, "Now that I have a new one, what do I do with the old one?" Her answer was to give to to her. So I did... and then I remembered there were a few files of a, ah, delicate nature that I really didn't want her finding... so I had to take it back and plug it in and comb through the library. I think I got them all. I mean, I'm pretty sure I got them all.
I hope so, anyway.
Anyway!The only thing I don't like so far is how I can't set shuffle settings on mk2 like I did on the original. /: Like, if I want to start listening to a playlist from a certain song but want the rest of it on shuffle, I can't do that. I mean, I know there's a 'shake to shuffle' setting but it's not particularly descriptive and anyway I don't seem to be able to get it to work. As it turns out, I am dumb and can actually do exactly what I was complaining about. There aren't any buttons to randomly push so it takes me a while to figure things out! D: But I'm working on it. :D
I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow e_e; Like, manage/graph/sort-of-fake data for tables for astronomy, and also write a rough draft of a proposal essay which... may or may not need textbook sources! I really really hope it doesn't, because I don't think our textbook has anything to say what's even remotely relevant to a proposal to Bioware/EA on the best steps to take to make their fanbase not hate them forever. (Which is, of course, the topic of my essay.)
I don't ever want to even turn off my iPod. It's just too shiny and new :3 I wish I could find cool free apps easier, though. /: I mean, there's a ton of awesome stuff that's just 99 cents, but I only have like 11 cents in my Apple account and I don't see that number going up any time soon. /: Maybe if I have extra money this weekend I can buy an iTunes card or something... I guess we'll see. But! That's the weekend, and it's only Tuesday night right now! ...well, okay, very early Wednesday morning, but still. I haven't gone to sleep yet so it's still Tuesday, and also that doesn't change the point.
...I am starting to ramble, though, so perhaps it's a sign I should go to sleep.
