Fucking Mercury retrograde. I knew I wouldn’t get through unscathed.
Last night I was trying to rip a CD (The Swimmers, on Maddragonrecords, a professional national label run locally by Drexel University), a pretty good CD.
It got stuck. It overshot the CD tray. I’ve now spent about two hours total trying to lure the thing out of there — tantalizingly close, but no cigar. I even clamped onto it with a pair of pliers, but it wouldn’t budge.
And now I can’t find the cable that reconnects my speakers. Grrr.
Pardon my ignorance, Suze. What does it mean to “rip” a CD?
It’s when you put in an audio CD and copy the music to your hard drive.
How long’s this Mercury thing supposed to last? It seems like it’s been going on for a couple of years now.
Until Sept. 12th.
Perhaps, but other things could interfere.
