I do declare, iTunes 7 is pretty damn slick. Kind of makes me wish I was more dilligent about putting in album titles, because it locates the artwork for you and puts it in this flippy, jukebox style display. I wonder if I can drag 'n drop the missing artwork in later? I'll have to investigate.

EDIT: I can't beleive some of the album art that is missing. There's no Beatles--wait, that's some kind of apple thing, isn't it? Well, it's still a pain in the ass. Plus I can't figure out how to drag & drop a pic to cover many songs. It seems to want me to drag & drop them one at a time. It's making me batty. And of course, I don't really have enough memory to flip through the album covers. I guess it's about time I go up to 512. Whoooo! /EDIT

Apple is teh awesome, to be sure. I wonder though, why the new 8gig nano ipod is the same price as the 30gig ipod?
I'm told it's because the nano is so wonderfully small, which really means it's easier to lose. Anyway, the biggest one now is 80gig. That's amazingly large.


While I'm here, I'll mention that Norm MacDonald is a jackass. I already knew he was a gay-bashing, fat-phobic, rascist assmunch; but his comments about Steve Irwin on Daily Show were beyond the pale.
OTOH, Ken Jennings on Colbert was not nearly as funny as I was expecting. I'd show you, but embedding it is forbidden for some silly reason, prolly so you'll cough up $2 to see it at iTunes. If you don't want to, you can watch it here. And then be sure to send Stephen $2; he'll need it to fund his trip to Hungary.

That's actually molten lava on my breath, but whatever...

Glad to say I've found a way through my writers block in re: Hazel's story. I haven't been doing a ton of actual writing this week, but I've been way far productive in terms of figuring things out. That can be just as important, I find.

EDIT 2: I didn't get anything done except a lot of playing with iTunes 7. Fie!

See. And you say tobacco companies are evil.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

They are.
iTunes isn't slowly killing me while it addicts me on purpose.

At least, I hope it isnt'. ;-/

[nate101000.livejournal.com]

But they gave 10% more and didn't even brag about it. Now that's good customer service, but poor marketing. Or it would be but most people are going to see this as just another ploy to keep people addicted. Which it is. But hey, it's poison for sale. If they put a skull and crossbones on the package, people would buy it.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

As usual, I have no idea whether or not you're being serious. Since you've been so moody online this week, I'm just going to let it go...

[nate101000.livejournal.com]

In all seriousness...

The tobacco companies have been working to increase the nicotine content in tobacco. The reason they do this is to make the cigarettes more addictive. I don't fault them for this. It's exactly what I would do. In fact, this is probably one of the more honest methods of increasing addiction to cigarettes.

Since you've been so moody online this week
This reminds me of something. Something about a pot and a kettle. I'm sure it'll come to me.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

You just can't say something without taking a jab, can you?

[nate101000.livejournal.com]

"You just can't say something without taking a jab, can you?"
This is a joke right?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

No it isn't. But you might not want to say anything else until you calm down.

[nate101000.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's what you should do. Ask me to calm down right after you insult me.

I'm done with you until you can disagree with me without insulting me, attacking me personally, or analyzing me. Especially since you are rife with the behavior you keep attributing to me.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Saying that you are moody, or that you are taking a jab at me are not insults. They are observations.

There is something wrong with you, has been for weeks. You've been mean and moody and quicker than usual to take offense. And everytime I ask you about it, you lie and say everything is fine. I've known you for years now and I know you're not fine.

Not sure what "behaviors" you're talking about, but do let me know. I have no problem taking responsibility for my own shit.

[nate101000.livejournal.com]

Not sure what "behaviors" you're talking about, but do let me know.
Whenever we argue, in person or online, half of your argument involves you analyzing me. I have been increasingly irritated by it. I've tried to ignore it, but you just won't stop. So I'm done arguing with you.

I have no problem taking responsibility for my own shit.
That is not true. You pretend that it is. But in reality you are just as unaware of your hypocrisy as everyone else.

Everyone is a hypocrite, and we are never fully aware of it. Especially when we think that we are.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

If you're done arguing with me, why are you still commenting in my journal? What I am increasingly irritated with is you're coming into my journal, telling me I'm wrong, and getting pissed that I don't agree. Were you really expecting me to say that gas prices were fine and we should be grateful? Because that's stupid.

FYI, "that's not true" and "everyone is a hypocrite" are not examples, they are general statements. Again, either provide examples or STFU.

I haven't even analyzed you lately.
Not to your face anyway.

[nate101000.livejournal.com]

I haven't even analyzed you lately.
I am going to give you one example of you analyzing me instead of arguing with me, and one example of you mischaracterizing me. Then you can STFU and kiss my ass.

"You know, I can't beleive how often I forget that it's impossible to have a rational discussion with you. Your pathological need to be right about everything gets really sad after a very short time."
This is inflammatory and insulting. You often make remarks such as these when we argue online and in person.

"You're right. Bush and his peeps are doing a great job..."
I shouldn't even need to tell you why this comment was bull.

Now I am done. Please let me know when you can disagree with me without resorting to this kind of behavior.

i love this icon!!!

i should check out itunes. that way i dont even have to worry about organizing all my mp3s hehe, it will do it for me!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

It sure does. I wish I had the memory availible to do the jukebox thing. It adds all the album cover art and you can virtually flip through it like at the record store.*



*record store: noun. A place where old people used to go to pick up vinyl records.

That's good news. I agree with you, too. Some times you just need to step back and get an overview of the whole map before narrowing in your focus again.

HAve fun playing with your technology. I haven't quite made it that far into the 21st century, mainly because I know my children would steal any iPod device I bought and I'd never get to use it.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

LOL You know, I still dont' have an ipod. I hope that since my birthday is in Nov and then Yule in Dec, that this will be my lucky year!!

Then again, you can pick up a used ipod shuffle for about $40.

I'm not familiar with Norm Macdonald's political bent or any of the rantings you've referred to. I did, however, think his stint at SNL was less than memorable. As far as I can recall, he had one lame joke, that note to self thing, and he milked it for years. So now we can add hateful diatribes to his lackluster resume?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Hell yes. I've seen him making "funny jokes" about how fat people order a lot of food at restaurants; how gay people are funny because anal sex is funny, how George Michael is also funny because he's gay "now", and how unfair it is that "ugly women still exist--what's science doing all this time?"

And then last night, he ripped on Steve Irwin. Yeah, insult a dead guy, how funny.
