see-saw.....

ok, so these days i seem to be having a see-saw relationship with sleep......a night of deep slumber followed by a night of agitated fitfulness......and when one gets little sleep the next day one usually goes on to bed early and sleeps like the dead.....i don't recall waking up at all last night, and thus i only feel slightly old and creaky this morning....most mornings i feel so very old and rickety.....and dotty.......dotty is a great word to describe the mental fog that greets my aching tired body as i drag myself out of bed......ah well.....last evening i had an extended dotty episode....i was trying to download music from south by southwest....and the quicktime player kept coming on rather than the winamp or dell musicplayer....both of which allow for an actual download.....quicktime only plays.....and i could not recall how i dealt with this same issue last year.....how DID I manage to change the default player last year.....yeah, i found a place to change default settings, but the settings did not want to 'stick'....and quicktime kept popping up as default...just maddening.....when my fogginess meets an intrepid foe......will try again tonight....as for SxSW I have been listening to music by Chester French, and Eric Hutchison thus far.....I was in need of something new to listen to.....brains need to be rewired with the new and different to keep agile......or so i remember hearing, which is nothing to take to the bank at this moment.....
