My Pilates instructor sent me a wedding invite – they are getting married over Mardi Gras and have started a krewe and are king and queen – fun – but I never got any of the emails because she said they bounce back to her when she sends them to my email address. 

B told me that he got this great gadget that lets him play his IPOD through his car stereo and he gave me the name of it. Since I don’t have a tape player I need a device that plays through wireless. The two that I have purchased in the past – one was Itrip that came highly recommended and I ended up throwing it out the window one day because it SUCKED – but I went online and did some investigating and came up with this site – icarkits.com and they have a cool graphic IPOD that you put in your car, make, model and year and it brings up a ipod2car device that looked perfect. Cost $165. So I ordered it and when it came in I took it to be installed for another $50. And it didn’t work – and turns out the factory installed radio from Ford was not THE factory installed radio they had in mind at icarkits so basically now I have to pay to have it uninstalled and then ship it back. $100 later I have nothing but my headphones to listen to my IPOD in the car. Grrrr.

Then I finish eating lunch today and come back to my office to see my housekeeper with a face that looks like she ate my dog and I ask her what happened and she is so upset it takes a few minutes but turns out the vacuum cleaner ate my Casio Exilim camera chord and chewed it to death. Good grief. But she had managed to call Casio to find out where to buy another and it said you can only get it through them. I called them and they said they don’t handle the chords anymore but I could call a place in California that might be able to help. Well I’ll save the GRRRR – it was more like Fuck!So ends my day of consumer electronic woe – I say uncle and am calling it quits for the day.
