You're a wizard, Monica.

I declare myself a wiz kid. I don't know how I did it, but I did. I can practically hear Dora in the background... We did it! We did it! We did it!

I want you to imagine my distress when I discovered that BBC never released the soundtrack to North & South. I was devastated. Like, I ate three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches today devastated. (They're my go-to comfort food.) I ran to the Amazon forums and found some websites that promised a free download of some of the music. One of them delivered, and I shivered with delight... then realized that the files weren't compatable with iTunes.

I ramaged the Internet and scoured it for resources to convert my files. I downloaded a program that promised help, but I wasn't able to find it on my computer. I was about to give up hope when, out of nowhere, I found the program and converted all of the files in the blink of an eye! I downloaded the album to iTunes, picked out some album artwork, then set about downloading The Taverner Chronicles soundtrack as well. It truly was a labor of love. I mean, it only took an hour and a half. NBD, right? Then I bought music on iTunes and half the files were corrupted and now I have a bone to pick with Apple... You win some, you lose some, I suppose.

At some point, this post is going to have a point. I mean, I didn't just write this to share my triumph in downloading that soundtrack.

Or did I!?
