I&#8217;m so sorry. I know you wanted to see a third night of me sleeping,   but you&#8217;re going to have to wait until tomorrow. I stayed up too late watching Comedy Central and doing laundry,   so I was too brain dead to figure out what was wrong with the connection.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, my weekend was both awesome and good. Friday night was full of hanging out, which I love. I got to watch the second installment of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewb.com\/Shows\/GenericShow\/0,11116,228773,00.html\">I Don&#8217;t Know You, Chuck Munion, but You&#8217;re On a Reality TV Show<\/a>&#8221; and drink girly drinks.<\/p>\n<p>THEN, on Saturday, I binged on fructose and commerce. Jason, <a href=\"http:\/\/jakemohan.net\">Jake<\/a>, and I went to Target, and while Jason searched for new jeans, Jake and I drank copious amounts of Dr. Pepper with chocolate syrup from the Coke break syrup machine next to the soda fountain.<\/p>\n<p>High on sugar, we split up and I went to <a href=\"http:\/\/joanns.com\">Joann&#8217;s<\/a>. I was looking for a cord and drawstring bit so I can finish the epic iPod cozy. Joann&#8217;s was as barren as an ant farm left in the front window of a Buick during August.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microcenter.com\/\">I went over to Micro Center<\/a>, where Jake and Jason had already purchased jaw-dropping amounts of computery goods (this was premeditated, it just added up fast). Giddy on their purchases, they were looking at a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microcenter.com\/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0170836\">MIDI keyboard<\/a> that, when used with Garage Band, allowed us to make fat beats. Whacked out on Dr. P, I suggested that we purchase it, knowing full well we&#8217;d be spending the rest of the evening playing with it.<\/p>\n<p>I was right. I made myself a nice Peaches beat, and promptly abandoned it for a craft project. I guess some things just don&#8217;t change. I might as well have been a toddler.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it was fun, and despite my &#8220;drop it like it&#8217;s hot&#8221; neglect of the new toy, I think there is a distinct possibility that I might have an album ready by Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I tried connecting the camera back up to the sleepy-time apparatus (you try coming up with a better term for it) but it wouldn&#8217;t connect to my computer.
