Trojans

A name with multiple meanings. At the moment it signifies the Trojan Horse that has invaded Jason’s computer. I’m running two different virus scans which so far haven’t been able to do squat…I have high hopes for one of them though, it has never failed me in the past. This could get fun really quick if it doesn’t work though, we’ll just have to see. I wish this didn’t have to take forever. I had to turn my music up really loud (oh no!) to hear it from across the hall. Good thing there is no one else here to care. *grin*

This morning was biscuits and gravy for breakfast, and although it wasn’t anywhere near the best they’ve ever made, I thoroughly enjoyed stumbling, still half asleep, over to Van Zile, eating in a daze, and crawling back into bed with that feeling of warmth and satisfaction in my stomach. I actually slept in for the first time in a while too. It was great.

So I’m experimenting with iTunes for the first time. I may have to start checking out their free downloads, too. I’m kind of enjoying the Party Shuffle feature and I’m starting to rate my music. Here’s the system I’ve decided on:

***** I absolutely love it and will never tire of it. Play it daily (almost).
**** Still a great song, but not the absolute best. Play no less than weekly.
*** One of those other songs on the CD that’s still worth listening to. Average; play once every month or so.
** The kind of other song that I’m likely to skip if I think there’s something better. Play occasionally when in the right mood.
* That song I won’t delete just because it completes the album. Rarely (if ever) listen all the way through.

I just have a few songs to go (sarcasm). My goal is to have everything rated, meaning the absolute minimum is one star. If it deserves less than one star, it has to go.

AHA! As I finished explaining my rating system, the second virus scan finally found the trojan and claims to have disinfected it. We’ll see how true that really is when it finishes.

Oh, you’re wondering about the other meanings of Trojan? For the record, I am a Trojan Man. Yeah, that’s right, I went to Andover High School, home of the Trojans. (What were you thinking?) It was humorous being a Trojan because it just begged people to make jokes based on the popular brand name (I can see the headlines: Trojan Defense Holds Strong), especially when our list of opponents included the Topeka Seaman Vikings and Bonner Springs (there’s two n’s there people). I kid you not. I’m still trying to figure out why the school had to be called Topeka Seaman High School when their mascot was a Viking. Why not just be the Topeka High School Vikings? I mean even if it was one of several schools in the city they could have added a freakin’ direction. (Can you say Andover Central?) But I guess that would have been too easy. Apparently someone wanted their children to be tormented for four years.

Last Minute Addition: I was spell checking this before posting and the Blogger dictionary didn’t recognize freakin’. So it suggested foreskin. Brilliant.
