Snow is coming but the ' colder ' is here already. The F temperature read 3 ,this AM at 9:30 w/ bright sunshine

Computers ! Can you hear me curse ??? 
Situation : yesterday , I'm going to play the ' Doobie Bros ' while I type. Specifically , ' Minute by Minute ' , really old. And maybe , Laura Nyro
Nope , Windows Media Player  ( default program ) can't find anything , esp a CD.
This morning , go to Windows on line , Help . Crap on a cracker.
" Download Wind. Media Player"
" Lets verify your Windows OS '
" Here's your validation code "
" Press , download "
" Press , run "
" Your system cannot run Windows MP 11 '
" You can download an alternative MP "
" Press run when prompted "
" You cannot install an older MP program than your installed MP
" Do you want Windows Security system , free for a trial "... No , 3 times
I gave up , cleared all. That was 15 minutes , minute by minute , trust me.
Tried Windows MP on the menu.
I'm listening to DB s right now. The MP found the disk and listed the songs and I hit play. 

Alright , I'm dumber than a stump . Watched the whole Academy Awards.  M and I discussed a ) we saw ' Gravity ' ( me ) and ' Blue Jasmine ( her ).
Both were OK , viewing fodder , mostly. ' Gravity ' got 7 , ' Blue Jasm ' got best actress.
b) no other nominated movies between us.
I thought ' Percy Jackson and the Sea Monster ' beat ' Gravity hands down.

I've been burning the Bytes on the computer. There are 10 days left in the billing cycle for the internet , we've used 16 GB of the 20 in our allotment. Culprits are YouTube and music videos , gambling ( Seneca casino on line ) and lacrosse esp, a live broadcast from Baltimore ( close to 3 h )
If we go  over and we will , the overage charges are $ 2.50 / GB.

And in reference to burning Bytes. I go back and listen to  ' Djobi , Djoba ' by the Gipsy Kings. I searched for covers of their song.
so ,after burning Bytes , I can recommend
a) Djobi ... Dj.. by ' Nico and the Gipsies
b) D  ... D .... by Gipsy Phen
Both are not even close to the original. But different can be good.
my take " fakey can be good "
Now , you need to like D.. D... by the GK to start. This represents a further adventure into my eclectic taste in music.

The JHU Blue Jays did beat Princeton to go 4 - 0. PU was ranked below them , but I wouldn't ever count on beating PU in any year.
So , this win is a big step in Hop's season.

On the dental flare up front. Pain free , Monday. I've survived the week end, thus the chance of a flare up infection , now goes to 60 / 40, there will be an infection problem. I haven't been able to put in mouthguard at night , tho'.

Cross your fingers , troops
