  Holy Christ, it's almost Friday again. Weeks go by too damn fast now days. Hopefully they'll slow down once summer hits full stride. A few interesting bits of news from my neck of the woods: I decided that I should be able to coach a youth soccer team this spring. I'm a little worried that I haven't even played soccer since high school and I'll have to remember some drills and crap for the kids to work on during practice.
I'm hoping that they'll be dual coaches on the teams so I will have someone to work with and not look like a horrible coach on my own. Seriously, it'll be lots of fun. Also found out about a group of people that get together on Thurs. evenings to play ad hoc adult soccer matches. There wasn't one tonight, but I'll be getting in touch with one of the guys that put it together early next week to see if I can hop in.
I have this weekend all planned out already. I'll be ripping all my music cds to my hard drive (160kpbs MP3 for maximum usage) and then dump all my cds at a used cd shop to see how much I can get for the 200 or so disks I have. I'm also planning on dumping some DVDs that I don't watch anymore. Here's hoping for at least $500 from that sale. My DVD recorder will finally be put to good use, then. Backing up who knows how many gigs of mp3s. I'm guessing around 4-5 disks should back up my whole collection. I also cleaned house on my VHS tapes, a bunch of books I haven't looked at since college, some unused software, and an old ZIP Drive that hasn't been used since college days. Estimated street value at around $600 (using the used section on Amazon.com to judge the going prices of books and VHS tapes. Yes it was over 50 movies and around 50 books. I did keep my Star Wars Trilogy, All my Hitchcock, some music videos, and my First season of Pokemon. Someday I will finally plug in the VCR that I bought to replace my old one that died close to 2 years ago.
Does anyone have an iPod they want to get rid of? I still can't justify spending $300 on an mp3 player, but damn I still want one. I did pick up this urlLink RCA Lyra which is quite amazing. I can fit a whole audio book (currently listening to The Da Vinci Code) and around an extra 15 music tracks. It's perfect for using when working out and has also been nice to have when walking to between my apartment and work. Now, if I had access to all my music in one mp3 player....yes urlLink I'm drooling .
