So I managed to get my iPod working again but I lost everything on it. It’s got a lot more space free on it than it did in the past even after replacing the playlists I had on it before.

Which of course now bothers me because I don’t know what’s missing. I had files on it before as well as the music and I have no chance short of magical mystery hypnosis of remembering what those were. *sigh*

I suppose I should be glad that the iPod isn’t completely dead but it’s frustrating.

Other frustrating things in my life include kitchen piping that needs to be replaced. Today I took a chance and ran the dishwasher on “heavy load” and of course it filled the sink with water but not enough to be a pain. The normal wash works ok and since the dishwasher has a check valve nothing drains back into it so everything becomes clean. The annoying thing is that repairs on this will have to wait until next week due to money. PVC doesn’t cost all that much but I haven’t quite estimated what I need. And of course there’s always the “since I’m re-doing this I might as well fix this other thing as well...” situation. What it amounts to that I have to get under the house and dig into what it’s going to take to complete this project.

In brighter news we filed out taxes last night. YAY! Supposedly we’re getting a refund from both the federal and state gooberments. What we end up using that on will be a matter of debate when it gets deposited.

Stuck in this Spaceship with You - ttto "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealers Wheel

Who convinced me to come on this ride?
I'm in a freighter's hold going Mars-side,
I'm so bored I would kill for some air,
And I curse the person who made up this pair.

Vorlons to the left of me!
Shadows to the right!
Here I am stuck in this spaceship with you!

I'm stuck here in this spaceship with you,
and I'm looking for something to do.
It's so hard to keep from throwing a punch,
This grub will make me lose my lunch.

Vorlons to the left of me!
Shadows to the right!
Here I am stuck in this spaceship with you!

Well we shipped out from station
proud to help the Martian stand!
But your fighting pike is noisy I just can't take it man!
Cliiiick!...
Cliiiick!...

Keeping my cool through it all,
But I know it'll be a long free-fall.
No I don't want any more rationed food!
Playing Eye-Spy is just a little rude!

Vorlons to the left of me!
Shadows to the right!
Here I am stuck in this spaceship with you!

Well we shipped out from station
proud to help the Martian stand!
But your so annoying I just can't stand it man!
Cliiiick!...
Cliiiick!...

Who convinced me to come on this ride?
I'm in a freighter's hold going Mars-side,
Being trapped here could be a deadly thing,
Especially since you've started to sing!

Vorlons to the left of me!
Shadows to the right!
Here I am stuck in this spaceship with you!

Stuck inside this spaceship with you!
I'm stuck inside this spaceship with you!

I gotta talk to someone about better travel arrangements...

I no sooner posted the other song to a list of friends and someone replies with the refrain below knowing full well I'd turn the whole damn thing into a song...

Stuck in the middle with spoo! - ttto "Stuck in the MIddle with You" by Stealers Wheel.

Well I don't know what I had last to drink.
It's getting harder and harder to think.
Mr. Garabaldi's taking me home,
so I don't get lost and roam.

Narns to the left of me, Drazi to the right,
here I am, stuck in the middle with spoo!

I'm stuck in the middle with spoo,
and I don't know what I should do.
Maybe I'll ask the Techno-mage,
A talk with them is all the rage.

Narns to the left of me, Drazi to the right,
here I am, stuck in the middle with spoo!

Well I started down the hallway
like a well and proper gentle-man.
But all I got was nastiness and demons on my back!
*growwwl!*
*growwwl*

Back in quarters like before.
The lights don't work any more.
My stocks are a matter of chance!
My computer bought a spoo ranch!

Narns to the left of me, Drazi to the right,
here I am, stuck in the middle with spoo!

Well I'm back to apologize,
To the mages who demonize.
Maybe now I'll get some sleep,
Or maybe I'll drink very deep!

Narns to the left of me, Drazi to the right,
here I am, stuck in the middle with spoo!

Narns to the left of me, Drazi to the right,
here I am, stuck in the middle with spoo!

Vir! Get me a drink!
