I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Someone want to hire me to be friendly?

As pleasant as it would be to be employed by a Buffista, would you really want to work as a greeter?

So I just got a CD I've been eagerly awaiting, and not only does it force me to install an album license, but it'll only copy the music onto my computer in protected wma files, so I can't import them into iTunes. The fuck? Have other people seen this, and I'm just late on the zeistgeistwagon, or is this new? Where do they get off trying to control what software I use to listen to the CD?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm eating nonfat coconut sorbet with godiva liqueuer on it. It's really quite good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lee, I didn't stick my tongue back out at him, but I wrinkled my nose and rolled my eyes. Payment in kind.

I put an application in on one of the apartments Ali found. I should give my 30 days notice tomorrow anyway, but I find out tomorrow if I got it.

Which one, ita?

And good for you.

The dark one. It'd be perfect if it were right here, and had a gas range. Oh, and cheaper.

Otherwise, it's very very nice.

Hm. From the amount of blather on then internets about it, this is not a new problem. Still, I'm all incensed. I feel like rebelling against my capitalist oppressors. I don't like Windows Media Player, and more to the point I do like my iPod. Fuckers.

I have half a mind to send it back and say, listen, you can keep your damn benefit CD! But, on the other hand... I wanted this CD, durnit! That, and I don't know if they'll take returns after it's been opened.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, y'all.

Lee! Congrats on the new job!

Where do they get off trying to control what software I use to listen to the CD?

Copy-protected CDs are relatively new, but they've been an annoyance on the market for a little while now. I think there's a way to get around that with the proper application of a felt-tip marker, but I can't remember which part of the CD you need to cover.
