Although it was early May, it had been sunny and warm all day. So sunny and warm you had nearly bought Anna a T-shirt at one of the giftshops. Now, the air was coming in from the ocean and it was beginning to cool down. you had noticed a Starbucks on our way to the zoo and decided a warm cup of chai tea would both perk and warm you up so as soon as the bus jerked to a halt at the corner of Broadway and Kettner, that’s where I headed. I could see people inside -and they were drinking. Dn them.-but the door was locked.

“That’s funny,” you said to Anna. “It says here that they close at 7. Do you think it’s 7 already?”

“Well,” Anna replied reasonably, “If it sa

ys they close at 7 and the door is locked then it follows that it must be at least 7.” Out of the mouths of babes, eh?

Since there were obviously no warm foy drinks to be had, I trudged back to the stop and started looking for the carriage which would return us to the warmth of our own hotel room and the in-room coffeemaker. It was then that I discovered why some folks plan ahead and attempt to schedule things.

I had ridden the number 34 bus downtown, from the hotel to the corner of Broadway and Kettner, and then caught the number 7 to the zoo. It should have been a simple enough matter to reverse the process. Except that the last number 34 bus of the evening had left this very corner at 6:26 . Remember the Starbucks?

“That’s okay,” you said. “I can catch another bus back to the hotel. Look down the list and see what else goes there.” Anna scanned the list and a moment later announced, “I found one.”

“Good,” you said. “What time does it leave?”

“It did leave at 6:34,” he said. “I guess I missed it. Want you to read you the list of all the buses and where they go and I can find a different one?” My head was whirling. Anna and you had joked, when boarding the bus earlier in the morning, about being “Lost in San Diego” and how it could be the second sequel to the “Incredible Journey” and “Lost in San Francisco”. Now the joke seemed a lot less funny. Sure, I could always break down and take a cab or…

There are mainly two kinds of music download services online. There’s the services that allow you to buy tracks you can download and then there are subscription services that let you listen to full tracks online in return for a monthly subscription fee. Some do both.
There are many free music websites which provide free music downloads. These are not the websites of your music pirates - they are totally legal. Don’t expect to find full albums to download, particularly if the song is from a famous artist (only music pirate websites allow full album downloads). You’ll only find a few “teasers” intended to make you want to buy the artists’ CD. Independent, less well-known artists are an exception - many of them will let you down their complete song catalog to promote themselves.
There are many sites that offer MP3 music downloads and Lycos.com is one of them. They also offer extensive background information for all featured artist, including bios, discographies, photos, videos and lyrics. Their collection of MP3s and songs of many well known artists is really huge. So you only need to type in their name at the search box

There are MP3 players with built-in FM radio tuners, giving users an additional feature. Radio listeners can also record their favorite songs being aired by channels in the MP3 format and add them instantly to their play-list. MP3 player lets you playback your MP3 music on the FM radio with frequencies that are unused.
There are new alternatives to download music that are proven to be cost effective and can become a “one for all” kind of resource that you can turn to. Places where you can just search for that tune you want (the one that’s been on your head all day), point on it and download it without having to worry about getting a trojan virus just for doing so.
There are so many uses for MP3 you can download, listen and watch music, mp3’s, song lyrics, music videos, Internet radio, live performances, concerts, and more on AOL Music. The Web offers a treasure trove of free sound, music and other multimedia files. Big companies like Amazon will enter the online music selling market and will offer more features; More customization; More capabilities; More music for you. Listen to music blogs of your favorite artists. Stay on top of trends, listen for the latest songs of your favorite singers.

    There are two main ways for downloading music onto your iPod. The first way uses music that you already have on your computer or in your CD collection.
    There is plenty of legal MP3 music to download. But hey … if you bought it in a store or hear it on the radio … it isn’t royalty-free. That means using it for your video is ILLEGAL.
    There’s More to MP3
    These are cost effective, and if you compare it to the damage that could be caused by downloading the files from an illegal source, then the legal sources will outweight their value by tenfold.
    These are just 4 simple tips that should make your music downloading life a breeze. So get going, find a good vendor and start downloading today =)
    These site are under attack.

    They and other file-sharing services that allow for sharing of copyrighted files — and make money off it, through advertising and other means — may fold or have to change their sites drastically.
    They do not have sufficient knowledge of copyright laws. Current copyright laws allow an individual to rip MP3 provided he or she has brought a copy of the CD. However, he or she cannot give, sell or upload MP3 to others. Beware due to MP3 piracy, record companies have recently developed technologies that do not allow you to rip mp3 from CD. Add to that, they are dozens of websites on the internet proclaiming to be able to download mp3 and movies legally when they are not!
    They will provide you with this free info and they will charge you for it.
    This happens every day. This is what happens to many people that are looking to download music online. They fall prey to the illegal sources taking advantage of millions of people downloading music out there.
    This is great if you are not going to download a lot of music to your Zune but if you are planning on filing it with loads of music it can soon get pricey!

     

      I haven’t told my husband this.

      Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

      I just want to change things. Live. Not change. Go back to how things were. Change things? I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

      Seize the Day

      At this point, all I would do is take hold–forcibly, clearly, and completely. Overwhelmingly.

      I wish…
      36. I haven’t told my husband this.
      37. He writes too, though, so he’d understand.
      38. I think I like Veggie Tales even more than my children do.
      39. When I was in college, I would often be referred to as “Tootie” - that’s what you get for doing skits on 80’s TV shows.
      40. I went to college at 16 and graduated at 20.
      41. I have a BA in Bible and Biblical Languages.
      42. I was the only girl in 2nd year Greek and second semester Hebrew. I was one of two in Aramaic.
      43. I went on my first date when I was 17, and I am still friends with the guy who took me out.
      44. One of my very favorite things to do is go shopping (grocery or otherwise) without children.
      45. I refuse to cook on Teflon or aluminum.
      According to WRAL, units are preselling for $200,000. If that refers to the smallest unit, 883 square feet, then the unit is only $226 per square foot. Given new construction, the view, and the panache of living in Raleigh’s tallest building, that’s a pretty fair price. Surely the larger units are more per foot, but these prices are quite competitive with comparable projects in southern residential towers.”

      If you can’t make money on that deal, you can’t make money. Raleigh appreciation and Cary appreciation rates will likely not apply to the downtown appreciation of this project. Each project’s appreciation will be tied to the buildings success as well as downtown inventory. And this one looks like a winner, congrats to the people that scooped me.

      While you are at the RBC Plaza you can go over to Yancy’s. I have not been yet but would love to get your thoughts on it. Let me know what you think.
      46. My husband and I have a 32 inch TV, but we don’t have cable.
      47. I love crazy socks.
      48. I do not like high heels.
      49. I am allergic to all animals.
      50. I hate it when my cell-phone rings.
      51. Unless it’s my husband calling.
      52. I have been married for 10 days.
      53. There are 6 pairs of scissors on my desk and I’m particular about which ones are used for what.
      54. Every year I buy a Mary Englebreit wall calendar, but I rarely ever write anything on it.
      55. I have a quote from “Alice in Wonderland” painted on my dining table.
      I were a vervet monkey, chewing on flowers amoung the tree-top canopies in Africa…. I wish my mind could be completely freed.

      I finally get a break, after going non-stop for more than a month. I can actually sleep tonight for the first time in forever. And am I ever looking foward to it.

      I guess I’m not willing to actually write what I should say…I don’t know what I would anyway. I just feel so…hhh. I mean, I’m great. Just different and weird. That’s all lies. I don’t know what I’m like. I hate my brain sometimes. I did this study at the dentistry school yesterday. It was a jaw study: they looked at my jaw for about 15 minutes, then for the next hour and a half they pushed me, poked me, stabbed me, tried to scare me, squeezed me, BURNT me, and needled…me. But hey, anything for a buck.

      Hhh. I wish I knew what I wanted right now. I guess I just need time.
