Huh. I'm cleaning, and I just found a jar candle, starfruit & mango scented, from thecandleconnection.net in a box of books. I have never seen this candle before in my life.

Score!

Dude! I just found my old Discman! Awww, I love you, Discman. I know mp3s have made you a teensy bit obsolete, but that's okay! I'll burn some CDs and use you again! I still love--whoa, you were manufactured in 1998? Dude. You really are a solid piece of hardware.

Hmm. I am going to end up spraining or breaking or pulling something by the end of this, I know. I'm trying to clean out this tight little corner, boxed in between my TV cabinet and my desk, where all these boxes are piled up. Once the boxes (and a little vintage fold-up desk) are moved out, a plain fold-down table's going to be squeezed in there for my new printer (new = "bought late last summer, never opened"), and... God knows where all the boxes are going to go, but there it is. Most of them seem to contain desk supplies (accordion folders, portfolios, notebooks) or fairly valuable (to me) binders and notebooks full of writing, but damn if they're not heavy as lead.

Also, I still don't quite know what to do with this microphone I got for the computer. What do I... record on?

P.S. Hollywood Babylon smells really, really good.

Your hard drive. Obviously, you need a program for your computer that takes the input from the mic and makes it into a sound file, but that's it.

I think the program was more what I was wondering about.

You're on a PC, aren't you? Alas, I cannot help recommend a program if that's the case.

RecordPad, which can be downloaded... somewhere easily Googled, I would imagine *g*, is pretty decent, in my experience. It's a trial version, but it does come with editing software, too. You know, just in case you wanted to record anything.

I would recommend Audacity, which can be gotten for Teh Free!!1one! at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ -- note that it won't record straight to mp3 by itself, you'll need to install LAME (there's links there on the website) and then the first time you run Audacity, it'll ask you where you put lamenc.dll or something and you just have to tell it.

A m15m mp3? or podcast? Hell yeah.
