New banner is up. It's of Sarah Brightman from her Winter In Symphony Album cover. One of my favorite pictures.

I recently purchase a new shuffle because I couldn't find my first shuffle I bought a few years ago. Last night I hooked the new shuffle to my computer, itunes explained that the brand new shuffle is corrupt. I restored it three times, after that I gave up.

I am thinking my computer just needs a reboot because before that I was trying to put a movie in my iclassic and that took a long time for that. Normally it would take less than five mintues.

Is my issue just needing a reboot for the PC, or do I actually have to go to one of the apple stores and have someone give me another one? It's still under warrenty, however one thing I did notice was when this corrupt display came up, the ipod itself wasn't register. Meaning it never went that far.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

In my subject line it tells you what's happen this week. 

I've lost three family members in one week, and today two within hours apart from one another (today).

This morning started off like any other Saturday, me having to work at Starbucks about fourty five minutes into my shift my Mom calls me to tell me that the hospital wanted all family members there because my Aunt who has been in and out of the hospital for the last year was having a hard night.  And they felt she wasn't going to make it.

I was at Starbucks working when my mother called me at work, to tell me I had to get to the hospital they were going to take her of the venterlator that they put her on on Wednesday this past week. I didn't see her when she was at the hospital at first, I felt she didn't want me to see her like that.  At the ending of yesterday I felt that maybe I should see her one last time.  I didn't perpare myself for what I was walking into. 

I know things where bad for her, and the only thing that kept her alive was the ventulator that they had her on.  I arrived around 930am at the hospital, my Mom was the only one there at that moment, I told my Aunt that I loved her and that it's okay to go to GranMom and GranDad, it's okay to go to my  Aunt Edie (her sister) that are no longer with us.  Before she kept saying she wished they would come and take her, that she wanted them to come and take her.  I always said for her not to say that because it hurt me, I felt like and told her that she was giving up.   A Catholic preist gave my Aunt her last rights (I had my blessed mary and jesus medal with me, along with St. Michael and St. Gabriel medals too, and I had St. Pio in hopes one of them or all of them could be with her), I didn't have my roary with me so I had to make due with my medals.  I'm wearing them as I type this.

I spent the whole time at the hospital along with my Aunts and Uncles her sons, two grand daughters and  my Dad was able to leave work. Once everyone got to saw her, say what they wanted to say my cousins (her two sons) said they wanted her to be taken off the vent, the nurse said it would take a few hours (you don't realize how long just those few hours are) before she pass.

We sat with her the whole time, I didn't want to leave her side because of this, I had a hard time because Mom and I had done so much with her within this last year, and seeing her slowly die it just tore me up.  Today was the hardest thing I've done, waiting for God to take her, that was the hardest and I don't think I'll ever forget it.

Between 225pm -235pm today my Aunt Lois passed away in the hospital, with all of her loved ones with her.  As her heart slowly stopped I kept saying the lords prayer and Hail Mary, it was the only things truly comforting. 

Before they removed the vent from my Aunt I looked behind where I was sitting, I was closest to the door.  I felt my Aunt standing behind me, and knew she was with someone, someone that would take her up in heaven, I knew it and felt at peace.  That's when i knew she was no longer with us. 

I've never seen anyone die like that before today, and didn't know what to expect, didn't know what reaction I would have.  Until now, I'm sad, and very much missing her more than I realized I would.  There were things I never got to do with her, and only hope that God forgave her sins.  I'm sure he did considering I felt her leave us, and felt that she was at peace.  

I called a few of my friends and coworkers letting them know what's happen since they knew how bad things where.  I haven't had a chance to come here to post anything because I've been busy. 

My Aunt Sally passed on Thursday, she's my Granmom's sister...

We had another family member past tonight, around 830-ish my Mom told me who it was, but I can't remember.  They say death comes in threes, it sure has.  Two in one day, and three in one week, talk about scary, huh?

I don't know what to do now other than continue saying the lords prayer before I go to bed, it comforts me... many it's for the best. 

Until later... good night.

I have falling off the earth, due to carpel tunnel in my right hand.  I'm hurting, under docs care but nothing much is going on. I've kept it in a brace to keep my hand from moving about.  I've had a moment to post here and say thing.  Have been busy with other things, haven't had any time for myself these last few weeks, and now I'm waiting to hear from the doctors office to see what'll happen next with my hand. 

I'm going on vacation Friday, so you might not see me, or you will depending how things run with this hand.

Anyway, that's my small painful update.  It's not fun having this....

YAY, created a new header for my live journal...

I have to say I love this header... found the photos to be funny, and just needed something different, and simple.  Both of the photos are Peter Gabriel from his Hits CD, and maybe from his Growing Up World Tour Program.

Hope you like it!  If anyone would like for me to make one for them, please feel free to ask.  :)

System - Pc
Software- Win Xp
Ipod from - nano 3rd generation
ipod to - classic 120gb

What I want to do is this, transfer about 20 songs from my nano to my classic.  The hard part about this I didn't purchase these songs from iTunes, and I didn't burn them from a disc.  The batch of songs that I had was on my old hard drive before it crashed, now I've been looking since I've gotten them back and still nothing.  So the only way I have these songs is it's on my nano.  I would LOVE to transfer the songs or copy the songs from my nano to my classic. 

I posted a message at the apple discussions thread, already been told that I can't do it.  Then I went to live journal asking information about it, someone said something about a pod player, is it compatiable with my system?  And then I typed in a yahoo "transfer music from ipod to ipod".  Then I came up with a URL :

http://www.ipodtocomputer.net/ipod-to-ipod-transfer.htm

I'll admit it I've never heard of this before, nor do I know if this is possible. I don't want to purchase anything unless I have to in order to do this. 

I would LOVE to some how rip the songs from my ipod so I can burn it as a back up onto a disc.  Is that possible?
 
Does anyone know if this is possible?  Anyone on my friends list?  Anyone got ideas?  HELP!!!

Oh, and at the moment I don't have a back up of these songs I really want to transfer to my other ipod. 

We are currently looking for entries for Challenge 10 at brightman_still , so far we've only receive one member that entered.  I would like to ask my friends on live journal if they have a moment could you please take a look at the Challenge.  It's Sarah Brightman as Christine from the Phantom of the Opera.  You don't need to use the photos that were provided, they were to give you a idea.  However you must use photos of Sarah Brightman as Christine.

You girls deserve the best!

Challenge 10 at brightman_still is ending on April 10th.  Would love to see some enteries for Sarah Brightman as Christine from The Phantom of the Opera. 

Check it out here:  Challenge 10

Okay, so I'm just about finished with the first book of the Twilight Saga and I have to say... in my professional opinion, it's okay.  My reading opinion... it's okay... lol, so no surgar coating here from me. I see it mostly geared toward teenagers, but all ages can read and enjoy it.  It's to me a rating of a G to a PG film... depending how you see things.  LOL

I think my favorite part of the film and book is when the Cullens play baseball... that scene is very orginial or frankly I've never seen it before in anything.  I liked it a lot and it made a lot of sense... glad it was in the film too. 

One thing I do hope that gets more into detail about Edward's and Bella's relationship and how they completely feel this strong bond that has a hold over them.  That's what I hope we get more of, the reasons, the whys... is it because this is a forbidden fruit kind of thing, or is it because at a young age (Bella and Edward has waited for a long time) they finially find their soul mates... I dunno.  I just hope Ms. Meyer get's into it in the other books.

New Moon I should start sometime this evening in hopes that I can read through it quickly, I've read a few reviews about the book and honestly... I hope it's not boring.  LOL

On page 486 I'm finding Bella's reaction funny about dancing... I feel her pain. 

Until later...

Ciao!
 

 

Ps.  No news yet about my computer, pray to the computer God's that it's not my hard drive!! 

So, my Father took the computer to Computer Ren in Drexel Hill, Pa.  They are a week behind with repairs... so it'll take I'd say a week or longer for them to find out what is wrong with my computer.

The tech said two things that could be wrong with the computer, one is the software, or two my hard drive.  If it's the software fine, no big deal... but if it's my hard drive... I'm scared at this point because EVERYTHING is on my hard drive... all of my pictures, movies, etc. 

So I have a question, if my hard drive needs to be replaced, can they transfer everything from current hard drive to the replaced hard drive or am I SOL?  

Anyone know?

I'll be MIA once the weekend shows it's self... and then I'll be online a little here and there... not sure when I'll see the net again, just hope it's not that long. 

Until then....

After hearing mixed reviews about the film and book I decided to check it out for myself.  I saw the film first, and now reading the book. 

I enjoyed the film, however just a few things that really stood out that broken the laws of vampires... I've never seen a vampire shiney in the sun, and I've never met a vampire without their teeth.  I'm sure there are other things that brake the rules of vampires but I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I can see how people have mixed views.  I was listening to a lot of the mixed reviews until I downloaded Twilight. I watched the film and liked it.  Of course I felt there could have been more put into the film, without reading the book.  I've said that to a few people, and they are in agreement...  

I've started to read the books, and currently I'm into it.  I'm giving it a chance for now.  It's always important to make your own opinion on something instead of listening to the crowd.  Besides I never go along with everyone else, always doing my own thing.  I have to admit it,  I try to stay away from teen books because I'm just not into it.  But, this book so far is good, but not as good as other fiction I've read out there. 

I started to bash the author to a friend of mine recently before I actually watched the film.  I stopped myself because there was one thing I realized that made me stop and think.  (I've never bashed her on my live journal)

I realized that the author, Meyer actually has gotten then younger generation today to read, not just her book but the author of  Harry Potter books too... so then I realized, reading is very important in this day and age that if you have author having childern read, then guess what she's doing the right thing.  Hell kids today need to read... I go through my books like I go through my lattes at Starbucks. LOL!

I respect Steph due to having the younger folk reading.  Just like the Harry Potter books, they had the younger generation read, so why not give respect where it's do.  At first I was against the Twilight Saga because I felt Steph was just writting fan fiction, until I actually realized what she was doing besides making money off of it.  Kids today are now reading and using their mind instead of just sitting there staring at the TV, or playing video games.  It's time kids use their mind to create different things like writting, drawing, etc...

The book so far I have to say is a okay read.  I'm hooked, I keep having to open the book and start reading but can't seem to finish a page here at work because of a customer.   FYI, do not read while you are at work... you can never find your place when you read! *sigh*

I will have a review for the book, and the film at a later date, I hope to have something by the time my computer comes back from the repair place.  Until then.... Ciao!

I got a phone call this morning from my Dad wondering why the computer screne isn't coming on (he's not that good with computers, I have to give him credit he at least knows some things but when something he's never seen before he panics like I do),  I asked if the computer was on, he said he just turned it on. 

See I've learn to stay on the phone with him to make sure the computer is fine when something new happens that we've never had happen.  And then he had an message pop up stating new software wasn't installed correctly to reboot again, if it continues call the manufactor. 

Okay, so Dad rebooted it again, and the same message came up again. 

Now last night when I was on the computer it was fine, no problems however I have McAfee (sp), and last night I notice a warning stating that the computer isn't protected the software had issues installing.  And I downloaded the rest of Season 3 of Nip/Tuck from a website that I'll not name.  I already downloaded season 3 (esp 1, 2, 3, 4), I wanted to download the rest.

I don't think the rest of season 3 would cause issues like this, I'm thinking the anti-virus is the issue. 

Does anyone else have any ideas as to what it could be? 

I'll admit it, I know this may not be the best challenge but it was a idea I thought that might of went well.
