I took my CDs out of my car and double-checked to make sure I had all of them encoded into MP3s.  It turns out there were a few albums that I hadn&#8217;t encoded yet, and I ended up encoding about 10 or so CDs while I was working, bringing my collection up to 4595 songs (12.89GB or 9.9 days of continuous music).  I still have to rate them with iTunes, though.<\/p>\n<p>Getting my NES games out of storage stirred up an odd urge to play Zelda II, so I&#8217;ve been playing that off and on the last few days, just finished it now.  For some reason, though, I couldn&#8217;t find it in the box of NES games, (along with a few others I <i>know<\/i> I own, like Super Mario Bros. and Final Fantasy.  There were two games I owned, Guardian Legend and The Legacy of the Wizard, that I bought used when I was in college, and my brother lent out to a friend and never got back, but other than that, I don&#8217;t know where they could have gone.  I would say they might still be in a box in my mom&#8217;s attic, but I&#8217;m pretty sure I got all of my boxes out of there a few years ago.  But I&#8217;ve got the ROMs, and I did pay for them at one point, so I feel no guilt.<\/p>\n<p>These last two weeks have been very disorienting.  Between the off days at work, I have trouble telling what day of the week it is.  It&#8217;s a good thing that Fox isn&#8217;t running new episodes of 24 during the holidays, otherwise I&#8217;d have missed both of them, because I thought they were Saturdays, not Tuesdays.  I&#8217;m not as bad as <a href=\"http:\/\/bigdumbthing.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">bigdumbthing<\/a>, though.  His concept of &#8220;the weekend&#8221; is &#8220;that time when the other people are around more often.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s become a more common phrase that I&#8217;ve found myself uttering.
