Misc. and Random
- I’ve been carrying like 4 cards, my ID and some cash wrapped in a thick hair tie for months now, and Donna bought me a monogrammed money clip with a little pocket for cards. It’s the softest leather *ever*. Thank you to the cow who died so that I could have somewhere to put my insurance card. I hope that you were used well, and tasted great.
- I am absolutely, positively not interested in writing anything about Survivor: Racist Island except viscious snark. Here’s my dilemma: The show deserves to be mocked, and mocked with great vigor and vitriol. As I watch it, I get about 6 million ideas that usually involve racist jokes. Not because *I* am feeling or being racist, but because the show is edited to be one huge stereotype-fest. Unfortunately there are only so many ways you can say “Oh look, they’re making the darkies look stupid and lazy again.” or “Ching Chang Chinamen make great engineers!” before people stop laughing and start accusing you of hating black and Asian people, so I feel trapped before I even get started. I just don’t have the energy to explain it week in and week out…
But. I had some damn funny ideas, and it seems a shame to waste them. Should I just write it up anyway? If I did it no holds barred, I might find the inspiration to do it consistently...otherwise the show is, as the subject of the next item would say, complete shit and I can’t be arsed to do it.
- Ricky Gervais’ Extras is frigging hilarious and so, so painful to watch. I kinda want to do his Scottish female friend there, I think it’s the accent.
- Subway is sometimes exactly what you want for dinner.
- CSI Vegas is going to piss me off this season if they keep doing these long, slow musical interludes with no dialogue. Lazy frigging writers.
- iTunes 7 is possibly the worst upgrade to any software that has ever been created. 6 point whatever was pretty good. Replacing 6 with 7 is like replacing Julie with a guy who punches women in the uterus as cruise director on the Love Boat.

jo-jo: It’s driving me fucking BATSHIT crazy. It took almost an hour to add and tag 12 episodes of Robot Chicken. That should have taken about 5 minutes. However, I will count myself lucky that mine at least opens.
Did you back up your old library files before you upgraded? If so, you can try uninstalling, hunting down all remnants in all directories, rebooting, re-installing, then *after* you open and close it once, replace the library files with your backups.
In fact, even if you didn’t save the 6.whatever library files, save the 7.0 library files it has right now and do all that. It might help. Either way make sure you save those library files!
I keep getting unknown errors when trying to download podcasts. I know for a fact the files iTunes can’t find are there, I can download them manually, but iTunes keeps saying “Unknown error -39”
FUCKING ITUNES. Of course, after the next patch I’m sure it will rock again.

You should totally do the Survivor: Racist Wars thing.
That show so deserves it.
