Yeah, so, computer's pretty much dead, somehow. Not sure if it's the motherboard acting up or the virus which may or may not be deleted, but my computer is no longer powering up. *sigh* Guess I have no choice but to bring it in tomorrow... Hopefully it only takes a few hours to fix.

Couple of links, since I'm using Candice's lappy:

Britney had to rerecord her song because it "seems" inappropriate. I'm sorry, but if your song doesn't make sense literally, and makes sense only as an innuendo where the refrain--the main incomprehensible part--is the f-bomb? No. You can't say it's supposed to be literal, because CLEARLY, it's not. You're a dumbass.

Pushing Daisies... probably won't air anymore. BOO, ABC. BOO. The only solace I take in this is that they might release the dvds *BEFORE* I leave for the fucking summer. Ugh.

The announcer said that Obama's speech mentioned "I" almost the least out of any acceptance speeches of the Presidents--three times. Teddy Roosevelt apparently didn't say it at all. It definitely speaks to a sense of humility in service, which, as my twelve years of Catholic schooling impressed upon me, is core to service.

Also, the quality of articulation is severely undervalued by our country.

Why are they playing Disney's Epcot music (in a badly recut track) at the inauguration?! There's a difference between "epic and emotional music" and "music every disney nerd would know". Do you know how many people like Disney, abc?

I mean, I guess it is abc... So they're going with the music they own rights to use, but... still... so weird.

[Error: unknown template qotd] Tolerance, education, and integrity.

I think we got caught up in mocking ourselves, and the media has become so sensationalist because of it, even just in the last eight years-- focusing on more extremist points of view, making us think that's the kind of folks who live next door.

We need a breath of fresh air. Take a step back from where we are and ask "what are the facts?" And learn to listen to them.

Sensationalism breeds fear, and fear breeds hasty action. We're too scared to realize what freedoms we are removing... How we are cutting out the very pedestal we stand on.



Okay, that's my preachy spot for today. :D Just my thoughts.


Also, it was my motherboard. I no longer have a computer at my disposal... and I don't think I'm going to be able what I *want* to buy (eepc that runs Ubuntu) because it won't run AutoCAD or MATLAB. Woo. /sarcasm
