Whew. Release testing finally eased the fuck up. Just waiting on a couple of test batches now. Dear lord that was painful. It didn't help that I shot myself in the foot on Friday by messing up one of the environments, but I was able to get it back up and running this morning.

I need to find a website that tells you which songs were used in which movies and TV shows. I'd love to see Hallelujah go up against In The Air Tonight, and I'm curious about covers and how they affect the numbers. But I think Phil Collins clearly has the Best Song In Ever judging by the moments in which it's used.

And the Iz version of Over the Rainbow.

Those pop-ups that ask you follow a page on Twitter or like it on FB make me want to punch the internet in the face.

Yes! And any pop-up ad that is on top of what I'm reading/watching.

Remember that show I did in DC last year? I just found out that it received Helen Hayes Award nominations for direction, scenery, and lighting! And the show is the highest grossing non-musical in that theatre's history.

Hmph, Jesse, what good is having the Lord as a prom date if he doesn't bring you pretty things?

...and there's a sentence that really could be taken severely out of context. As if the context wasn't funny enough on its own.

The Lord is my prom date; I shall not want.

Congrats, aurelia!

And the Iz version of Over the Rainbow

Yes, but this really is the best song ever, so that's okay. I'm trying to remember which movie I noticed it in--was it a western Woo film? A Cage film? Face/Off? Shit. Anyway, the one with the kid in headphones listening to this while carnage ensues around him--which movie was that?

I just got an email from one of my web hosts saying "Now that you mention it, we have been billing you too much. Here, have the difference refunded from nine months of error." And on Friday I was coming out of a parking lot, and the guy announced it was $15, but I knew I hadn't been in that long, and when I said that, he said "Oh, sorry...it's $8." Really now? How did the machine ingest my magnetic stripe ticket and come up with the wrong total? And have you now taught it how to do multiplication?

I hate finding other people's mistakes--it's not like it stops me making them, and I've made too many over the last little while. Or let other people make them and not caught them, or escalated high enough fast enough.

Folks looking for music used in TV shows and movies--have you tried Tunefind?

So far I've only used it to find music from Lost Girl. It seems reasonably accurate.

And since I know the ingredient combination I am doomed to eat it again and again for the rest of my life.

I'd leave out the mustard (just as a matter of personal taste), but otherwise, I can think of far worse fates.

Remove the peppers and that sounds yummy.

Wow, aurelia! Congrats!

Lunch, I should have some of that.

Anyway, the one with the kid in headphones listening to this while carnage ensues around him--which movie was that?

I must have missed that one.
