Pirate Radio
Well, after much ado with ebay/paypal and some worthless seller named platypusposse, I have finally purchased an mp3 player that I'm confident I will receive. For those of you unfamiliar with my dilemma I will point you to this post for some background.So, I decided to bid on a player on ebay that was being offered by a shady character (66.7% positive feedback out of 6 total) knowing that I may not ever receive the item, and that I may never contact the seller. The only reason I did this was because the item would auction for a lot less than others. I did end up paying a lot less, but the seller never responded to my emails. I have since filed a claim with paypal, and should get my money back minus a $25 fee for paypal. Frustrating.
Since then I have won another player on ebay, which I spent substantially more money on. This player is a Creative Zen Sleek rather than a Zen Touch like my previous model.
The only real - not cosmetic - difference between the two players is that the Sleek will have about 60% of the battery life of the Touch. That's kinda misleading because the Touch lasted FOREVER on a charge.Long story short; I should be back to broadcasting Pirate Radio in no time. Grin.

i don't think i'm going to the reunion. Kurt was supposed to drive me out there, but he can't get the days off.
i guess i will just have to make an appearance in september for the MS150.
Well Cas, I guess we'll have to find somebody to tell us both about it. I don't plan on going myself, and it's only a few miles from me.
well-
now i'm havind second thoughts.
maybe i should just bite the bullet and go.
why don't you want to go?
The main reason I don't want to go is that I'm already in contact with everybody I would be interested in being in contact with from high school.
The second reason is that it costs $25.
The third reason is that I'm pretty sure I won't like the atmosphere - considering they're taking a tour of the school before the 'event'. The only reason I would go was if you went and I couldn't think of a good excuse to give Liver.
Hey Cas. If we go as a couple it will save us a few dollars. Would Josh mind if I borrowed you to save money?
Assuming he doesn't want to go.
` Mua ha ha haaaaa! YES!! CHEAT THEM!!!
` Also, Yar! I'm a pirate! (I was saving that until you were least expecting it.)
` I'm also a sea hag... and a seeweed master... and Giant Beach Flea Food.
` And my friend looks like a Christmas Tree. It's hilarious.
