So, I finally finished work after having almost no sleep (again) due to a massive headache that came on last night after working on this site. Luckily, I made it in and everything worked out.
In other news, I calculated all my bills and paychecks from now until the paycheck after my trip to New York and it looks like I will have $385 to live off of until October 15th! This is taking into account the rent ($253), credit card bills ($100), Kwik Trip Card ($80) and power, internet TV and cell phone ($192). These are per month prices! I only take home like $500/payday every 2 weeks, so this is going to be a stretch. Also note that I am putting another $250 in my savings for the trip, bringing me to $550 total for gas, rental car, food, etc.
I hope that I can save some of that money from New York to spend on bills/food when I get back. We will see. Then I need to start saving for my BIG Disneyland trip in May, 2010 which will cost around $1,000 plus, which breaks down to:
275/person for plane tickets (may vary)
194/person for park tickets
100/person for hotel
569/person total for travel, sleep and tickets
400/person spending money (food, souvenirs, etc)
969/person total total for everything (if pricing doesn’t change)
This means that I need to save $85 per paycheck from November to April to make this work. It is going to be hard! I hope that it will all work out (but I’m sure it will like it always seems to).

So I am doing quite a few things now and soon that will be considered changes. First, I am going through all my MP3 files and tagging them all correctly and not all over the place like having the actual CDDB or similar tagging to the files. I also think that I am going to sort it out to the folders based on the album and/or artist. During this time I will be able to get the correct album cover art as well and make my collection nice and also get rid of duplicates.
