realplayerrage

ok, so i have successfully downloaded marvelous and tastefully selected christmas music....and sucessfully transferred these files from the desktop to my music file.....and sucessfully downloaded a smattering to a cd......buti cannot seem to save this same cd as a playlist.....nor copy out a playlist for showandtell purposes......nor transfer anything to my pda......mostly because i only know how to do this from windows mediaplayer...which seems to be disabled at present....and dell music player has a fatal error.......and shuts down.....leaving me with realplayer......a program which has a dreadful bedside manner......the good news is that i have had a sweet background for baking cookies this afternoon.......blackcurrant shortbread, coconut macaroons, some little chocolate/walnut treats, and dough for cutout cookies that is chilling as we speak.....i also made the dough for my favorite orange poppy seed cookies....but there wasn't enough flour....and the cutouts started to flatten and spread off the pans....so i scooped it all up into a tart pan....and added another cup of flour.....and it will be the base for a tart of some sort......alls well that ends well........i must say that listening to sufjan stevens i see his early raffi influences.......
