I JUST ORDERED A NEW LAPTOP AND IT WAS INSANELY EXPENSIVE AND I AM MAYBE HAVING A SMALL ANXIETY ATTACK ABOUT SPENDING THAT MUCH MONEY. I mean I very carefully saved up enough for it before buying it and it was a well-considered purchase and I need a new laptop, poor Shanne is five years old, all five of those years have involved very heavy use, and she's on her last legs, my poor bb. She needs a relief pitcher. (Um, is that the right metaphor? I know nothing about sportsball.) But still, spending that kind of money all at once freaks me out something awful.

(According to Google the average lifespan of a Sony VAIO is closer to two years. I'm so sorry, Shanne, thank you for putting up with me and struggling through.)

I bought the HP Star Wars Special Edition notebook, because it's super cool and I'm a geek. It's going to be my first touch screen computer, and it's got pretty great stats, too; I went for the best available options on almost every feature, which is one of the reasons it's so expensive. But I would like it to last like Shanne has.

HOWEVER. This presents a new dilemma. All of my previous laptops have been named after Pogues songs (Shanne Bradley, Sally MacLennane, Lorelai). Originally I was planning to name my next laptop either Victoria or Aisling (neither of which is technically on a Pogues album, but they're both on the unreleased box set so IT TOTALLY COUNTS), but it feels weird to name a Star Wars themed laptop after a Pogues song. So. Straw poll!

Serious but also really dumb question:

I hate looking at my Last.FM stats because of how much showtunes dominate my charts. Well, not because they're showtunes, more because Last.FM hates showtunes and thinks I should label them by individual performer instead of by show. I'm sorry but I'm not going to go through ~150GB of music and relabel everything by individual performer just to make Last.FM stop mislabeling everything. Nevertheless looking at the mislabeling makes me grind my teeth.

Would it be worth it to reset my playcounts on all the showtunes so they don't show up on my top charts anymore for a while? At least that way I wouldn't have to look at Last.FM getting snippy that I choose to label my recordings of Wicked as "Wicked" instead of "Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth, and the Ensemble of Wicked" or whatever.

Look, I said this was a really dumb question...

And I'm trying to get all of my old untracked audios tracked which is only going to make the problem worse arrrrgh
