It's deja vu all over again...

Apple really needs to test their iTunes updates before they send them out to the world...this is the second time I've pulled my hair out trying to get it to work after an update, which is supposed to make the application better in theory, not worse.

I've given up this time. Apparently, if I don't open anything else (and I mean anything), it works fine. But if I try to check my email or something, it starts skipping by a millisecond or so. Which makes it staticky and skippy and sounding remarkably like an old record. It'd be fascinating if it wasn't so aggravating. Just one small headache to finish off a day filled with little headaches. Long story short, my debit card (only source of money) is damaged, and I have to wait until the bank sends my mom a new one and she sends it to me... Don't worry, I have food and enough money to live off of for at least another week if I'm frugal, and my mom's sending me some more emergency money for the interim... I just had to cancel a trip to Osaka this weekend, and I may not be able to do the flower arranging class next week...so I'm a little perturbed. That and I didn't do so hot on my test this morning...but I think I'm being too hard on myself grades-wise. I am studying more than I've ever studied before right now, and I really am doing the best I can. I just don't like the feeling of not quite measuring up...it seems I am always running as fast as I can from that feeling.

Even in another country.

Although, back to iTunes, I will say that once this bug is fixed, I'll like this new version. The automatic searching for artwork is really handy, especially since I lost all that in the great hard drive crash/Poddy's official death/Liza's great divorce from technology tragedy of this summer...

I'm serious. I was a mess for like three days.

Over a computer and a MP3 player.
