doctor; costuming; zen micro
Oct. 5th, 2007 07:28 pmThis morning I had a fun little trip to the doctor, which resulting in my giving four vials of blood and a referral to a GI specialist. It's possible that I have celiac. Hooray :-P If the blood tests come back looking that way, I'm going to have to have an endoscopy to do a stomach biopsy or something. Lovely.
After work, I met up with
queenmaab at Goodwill too look for some Halloween things. I picked up a frilly skirt that I think will work well for my gothy vampire costume. Also stopped at Target on the way to get some cheap headphones for the Micro and a couple other things.
Took my Zen Micro to work with me to see how long the battery would go. I think it's about 6 hours, which is a lot less than the expected battery life. Could just need a new battery though, and I do have one of those coming. Even if it isn't at least I'll have an extra. I did notice, however, that the headphone jack was tweaky, like most people have mentioned. When I got home I tried taking the metal casing off to get to it, but.. uhm... I couldn't get the resin off and then I thought I broke it, so I switched it with the back piece from the other player whose main body is broke. This one seems to have been soldered correctly and the jack isn't loose at all. Had a bit of a scare after I put it back together. It wouldn't start and kept freezing on "Rebuilding Library," but I went into Recovery Mode, ran clean up and it's all good now. *phew*
I have decided to name this player Spacemonkey, for perhaps not obvious Stargate-y reasons. Seriously, this player was dead, then alive but confused, then dead, then alive, then sort of dead, and now alive again! So, yes. Space monkey.
Music transfer, I figured out, is pretty easy -- just drag & drop into Media Player and then copy it over :-P Have no clue how I'd get it off, but whatever. This player is really just for shits & giggles, so I'm not that concerned. Right now I'm just dumping some stuff on it so I can get a nice mix.
Hm. Now I think it's time to go get some food before Friday night shows. Doctor Who finale! Moonlight! Stargate Atlantis! Hurray!
