Pluto is a Butterfly

Welp, what a busy last week and weekend I've had.

Friday night I kept on ripping my CDs into MP3s while I enjoyed a good down pour outside. About midnight I started to load up the car to take to Goodwill the next day. I got some old stereo equipment in and then decided I was too tired to do any more.

Saturday, Morticia helped me take all my stuff over to Goodwill and Out of the Closet.

Afterwards, we when and got some Italian food at Buca De Beppo.

Saturday night, we enjoyed a concert at Avalon. It was a British group Marticia has been into for years. I have never heard of them so I was curious to see what they were like. MAN were they good! The group was called Saint Entienne.

I Highly recommend buying their stuff! At the very least, buy their song "Oh My!" off their latest CD. It's only 99 cents a song at Musicmatch.com, so stop being a cheap bastard wondering what they sound like and download something!

I slept in on Sunday and did some more CD ripping and then went furniture shopping with Morticia in the afternoon. It was great to get some ideas! Since I plan on buying everything (Living room, dining room bedroom etc.), there was a lot to look at! I found my bedroom set at least...the bedroom set costs about 6K but it is sooo nice.

After shopping, Walter came over and we all went to Zach's for dinner. (Yes, we were in the mood for Italian all weekend hehe.)

Monday was a somewhat lazy day. I only left my place to go food shopping for Dizzy and Doodle and then spent 5 more hours ripping MORE CDS. ugh ugh ugh!!! The good news is that I am all done! Yay! All of my CDs are now boxed up in the closet where they will stay for a bit and then I'll sell them on.

All total, my CD collection turned out to be 15.5 GB of pure MP3 joy! It's great to have all of my music in one place and when I get the cool new iPOD due out in the summer (or so), I'll have my whole collection with me where ever I go!

Now, before you say "But Eric, what if your hard drive crashes?" I am going to copy the folder onto a second hard drive as well as burn the MP3 collection on to 4 DVDs and place them in a fireproof saftey deposit box at the bank (along with pictures on DVD). I'll have onsite and offsite redundancy! :)
