Good Things and Bad Things

Bad Thing: The scroll button on my mp3 player isn't working properly. I'm not completely sure what happened to it, but it was in a side pocket on my backpack, and probably got smashed into something. Sigh.

Good Thing: I found fairly detailed instructions online about how to fix it.

Bad Thing: I realized once I got the case open that this was, in fact, a somewhat trickier procedure than I was really up to undertaking, at least in my current brain-fried state. (Thank you, allergy season, for my annoying lack of adequate sleep.)

Good Thing: I got the case back on without damaging anything further.

Could Be Worse Thing: Probably 90% of the player's operation can be accessed without using the scroll wheel, even if its a little less convenient.

Good Thing: This means I was still able to listen to the commentary track for last week's Battlestar Galactica that I got off the official website. OK, how incredibly cool is that?

(Oh, and, no, no word on the house situation yet. I'll let you know when I hear something.)
