MP3 songs shuffle fuze

I'm glad to find that I still enjoy most of my music, now that I can play it in shuffle mode on my MP3 player, rather than playing it in album order from the music CDs. Only about one song in ten (or even less) is irritating enough to make me want to delete it from my collection.

The fact that all this music fits on a little chip the size of my smallest fingernail still amazes me a bit... it's a 32GB micro flash card, and is only half full. I haven't yet converted my audio cassettes into MP3 files; still plan to do that someday.

I'm also impressed by how the MP3 player shuffles the music... it almost seems like it has an algorithm to determine which songs will sound good after one another.

Ooh, lightning! Sky is darkening.


I have had 2 problems so far with my Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player. The original player worked fine with a 16 GB card. But with a 32 GB card in it, the player wouldn't start up, even though it was supposed to support that size card. SanDisk ended up sending me a replacement player of the same make and model - their customer service was quick and commendable. The replacement player works fine with the 32 GB card.

The 2nd problem happened a few days ago. While I was deleting a song (which had worked several times before), the player locked up. When the player finally restarted, *all* my songs had somehow gotten deleted from the card. So I had to copy them all back again. Hopefully that won't happen again.

snazzy shoes

August 1st, 2011:
If I found a pink silver purple glittery star and heart decorated pair of shoes, in my size, which were comfortable and had good arch support, and didn't have leather or PVC, I would totally get them. But alack, the star-studded glittery shoes are generally only to be found in little foot sizes, and without the other qualities.

but they still don't have any hot-pink sparkly athletic shoes in my size. Oh, well. Maybe someday they will.

July 2012:
Yes! Hot-pink, silver & black athletic shoes not containing leather, and in my size and comfortable! Found at K-Mart.

What is it about getting a pair of snazzy new shoes, that makes one feel supernatural? ... a mental crossing over into fantasy-land, where you can tip-tap-fly-away like Hermes with his winged sandals.









In the days after getting these shoes, I saw several random women wearing hot pink athletic shoes... The era of women's athletic shoes for the most part only being offered in white with pastel trim or in all-black seems to thankfully be ending.
