Today was a good mail day!

I got my paycheck (20 dollars higher per two weeks than last year because of my raise, woo), my iPod screen cover (FINALLY!) and Entertainment weekly with Battlestar Galactica on the cover! \o/

I just applied my iPod screen cover, which, YAY, because I've had this thing for a month and a half with no screen protection and I've been mortally terrified that something would happen to it. But it survived its trial by fire and now it's all protected, yay. This was also the first time I took Peanut out of its silicone case since I got the case, and oh man I missed it! It's so PRETTY and white and smooth and sleek! *pets it* I love my Peanut :D

Now, EW with BSG on the cover is HAPPY. But! I am extremely miffed at EW for completely snubbing Supernatural! It's done that from the very beginning, and it kind of pisses me off! They didn't even put it in the Thursday must watch block - instead, it was a phrase WITHIN the Smallville blurb! GAH! I may write an incensed letter. I know I want a SPN cover story, dammit!

I am exhausted. So I am going to go sleep. *collapses*

Peanut gets an extra cookie today!

I found out just before leaving on a road trip (to drop my sister off at summer camp) that Peanut (my iPod, for those not keepign track) was entirely out of battery. So I flailed and plugged it in, and it charged for about 15 minutes before we had to go. So I was like *mope* it'll probably last a few songs.

Guess how long it lasted?

OVER THREE HOURS.

That's right! It was displaying red battery the ENTIRE time, and just the tiniest sliver for the last two hours, but it DIDN'T DIE. I gleefully listened to Steve Carlson, the Garden State soundtrack, and the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack in their entirety (these choices were defined by my mom's tastes, just FYI).

OH PEANUT HOW I LUFF THEE.

Oh speaking of. Does anyone know where I can find any of those iPod-ad-style icons? I know I've seen them made for all kinds of fandoms, but I never thought to save any! Lesigh. If any have been done of Sam or Dean, I will gleefully prostrate myself before the person who points me to them :D

Also, GIP!! [livejournal.com profile] 7timesfate ALSO gets an extra cookie! They're MIIIINE.
exsequar: (BSG KaraLee hug!!)
Why did no one tell me Jamie Bamber is on the cover of the current Out?? I was browsing the magazines in Borders and saw his lovely face, and of course I promptly sat down and read the article. It was interesting, and I'm glad to know that there's a possibility for gay relationships in the future of BSG - how great would that be? Even though interestingly enough my favorite HET OTP is on BSG, but ANYway. The pictures were absolutely beautiful, and I was very tempted to buy it. But instead I bought the current BSG official magazine, because it had interviews with Jamie and Katee (my favorites!) and also a poster of Kara and Lee, eeeee *draws hearts*

Also, the mall was covered with CW ads! I saw pretty much all of them, SPN (oh boys, how can you look so FUGLY?! it's such a crime), Vmars, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, Everybody Hates Chris, Next Top Model, and of course OTH. I in fact saw TWO OTHs, and it's "Free to be COOL" with Mayhem trying desperately to do just that and failing miserably. Oh Mayhem. You are so lame it makes me laugh. *ducks sticks and stones*

Also, while my mom and sister were shopping, I got to sit down and watch some Supernatural! *twirls* Oh how I love my Peanut. Enabling me to have hot boys WHEREVER I GO. Amazing.

Ugh, I'm so mad at myself. I was so impatient to convert my SPN files into iPod format. So I checked one download comm, and no luck there, so I was like oh I guess I'll have to do it myself. I did a search but was only able to find free programs that convert for PCs. so I was like godammit I guess I'll pay the 30 bucks for Quicktime Pro. So I did. Then later I realize I never checked the other download comm, and lo and behold they have some episodes in iPod format, as well as a link to a free program for Macs that converts. *FACEPALM* So that's 30 dollars down the drain, because Quicktime Pro really has no other features that I want to use.

My brother said that I might be able to give my QT Pro registration code to someone - would anyone like to buy it for maybe... 20 dollars? Or does anyone know of somewhere where I could sell something like that?

*SIGH* Good going Anne.

(I do have the Pilot on my iPod. It's shiny and makes me happy. But, it took AGES to convert, and I'm still all bitter about this other stuff. Meh.)

So HOPEFULLY (*crosses fingers*) I will be getting my beautiful new Mac tomorrow, which also means I can finally put stuff on my iPod. The first thing I want to try is Supernatural (um, duh). I remember someone linked me to a free program for converting videos into iPod format, but I can't find a link again. [livejournal.com profile] frayen, was it you? If anyone knows a program that I can use to do that, I'd appreciate a link! Thanks very much :)

MY IPOD IS HEEEEEEERE!!!! It's shiny and beautiful and says "iPeanut Property of Anne Gillies" on the back and it's gorgeous and I want to caress it but I'll leave fingerprints and it's BEAUTIFUL and SHINY and also useless. BUT! Not for long, because my MacBook has shipped already!!!! EEEEEEE! *twirls and twirls* I LOVE shiny new things! Happy birthday to me from me! (Which is not for a couple weeks, but I COULDNT WAIT ;) )
exsequar: (BSG Kara laughing bw)
*Squeals* I got an email at 12:57 AM telling me that iPeanut (my iPod) was shipped!!!! That's a) the middle of the night, and b) less than 24 hours after I ordered the damn thing! Holy CRAP I love these Apple people! EEEE! *twirls*

WHEEEEE

SAMMY AND iPEANUT ARE ON THEIR WAY TO MEEEEE!

All the delicious details behind the cut )

DUDE. Dude. I am SO EXCITED. I was gonna wait a few days to order because I thought the new Mac OS was getting launched at this conference thing next week, but actually that's just the first showing of it and it wont be available until "late 2006 or early 2007". I just couldn't wait that long! And I finally had enough money in my account to make the purchase. SO I DID IT!!! With handholding by Erin, because I am a BABY and I think that's the most money I have ever spent on anything at once!

*TWIRLS AND TWIRLS* YAAAAAY
