I sat down at nine o’clock to write a post about my tunnel vision when I have a lot of projects due and then I spent the last two and a half hours playing around with my site and iTunes.  Apparently tonight, the tunnel vision, I don’t has it.

Incidentally,

I know that I shouldn’t care about things like page rank and whatever, but part of me kind of does and I was really pissed off last year when my page rank dropped down to a three.  In the long run, who cares, but… I kind of do.  I deleted a lot of plug-ins and stuff last summer when a certain friend or two kept telling me that my site was taking too long to load on their computers.  Seriously–I was bending over backward trying to get rid of sidebar items, switching stat counters, everything I could think of and you know what?  None of it helped.  So back up it goes!  Hello my old sitemappy thing!  I don’t know what you do exactly but I’ve been assured by folks (Google haters btw) that you are necessary to my internet survival.  Hello Google analytics!  You are further proof that Google is on its way to turning into Microsoft and trying to rule the content of the internet, but apparently if I don’t let you crawl my site, I’m borked as far as attracting random readers!

Hey, you know? I’ve gotten wayyyy too many random visitors by way of google searches for “pizza plants.”  I feel really sorry for these people because I too wish pizza grew on plants and I imagine they are sorely disappointed when they show up here instead of a gardening site.

Further,

Under normal circumstances I love my iTunes.  I know that there are people who hate iTunes and I understand why (it is annoying that iTunes downloads can only be played on iPlayers and that mp3s need to be converted to iFormats to play on iPlayers) but for the most part, I don’t care about all of that brou-ha-ha.  What I do care about is being able to sort through my music in a semi-understandable fashion and being able to play an album in order.  There are a lot of albums in my library that had to have their own playlists created just so I wouldn’t hear the thing in some random iTunes designated (crappy by the way) order.  And don’t get me started on the whole each collaboration getting its own album artwork thing in the scroller setting (or whatever its called).

Finally,

my whole “going back to bed” habit is in the starting stages of being kicked.  This isn’t really because of any conscious effort to stay up.  It’s because yesterday was all drama filled and today was a baby-sitting day.  I wonder if I’ll be able to stay up tomorrow on purpose.  I get tired, but I can tell you it makes it a lot easier to go to sleep at night!

I know. But sometimes the obvious has to be stated.
