Watch as this goes nowhere

Do you know what is a really creepy noise? The creaking of a metal playground on a windy night. I have no idea where the closest playground is from my bedroom window, but let me tell you, right now it sounds like there's one hanging off the window sill, waiting to slip into my room and kill me... with secret playground powers.

Remember that website I talked about? The one where people could share their movies or whatever? Well, it already exists. Actually, I'm sure it already exists in many forms, but here is the form I found today: uPressPlay.com. It's actually really nice because it's free and there is a wide variety of media to examine. I'm not saying if you go there you'll find a great supply of underrated cinema, but you might find something to bring a few laughs. For instance, one of the shorts I found was called "Roni vs. Lincoln" which involved a battle with a zombie Lincoln. I won't judge originality, but any time you get zombies and Lincoln, things are looking up.

Does anyone remember the band Starsailor? They were supposed to be big and then it never happened. I guess the industry can only support so many Coldplayish bands. I am listening to their song "Alcoholic." It is kinda sad.

Let me ask a question of those with iPods. Have you ever encountered adding music to iTunes through either CD or the Music Store, then syncing your iPod with iTunes, only to end up losing songs on both?

Here's what happened. First, all my music was on my iPod, so I downloaded a program called PodUtil which allows you to transfer music from your iPod to your computer (iTunes doesn't allow this). I also added music to iTunes with CDs. Thinking that my iTunes was all set, I used the auto-sync to copy all the music on iTunes onto my iPod, thereby erasing all the music that was previously on my iPod. Then I discovered that a few songs from a few albums had somehow disappeared.

As far as I know, the songs were from all possible locations: CD, Music Store, and mp3. They were, interestingly enough, Tracks 3 and 5 of Sigur Ros's ( ) album, "Low" on Coldplay's X&Y, "Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet", by Relient K from the iTunes Music Store, and a Caedman's Call song I got off the internet. But I have no idea why they disappeared the way they did.

It might be limited to the PodUtil program, or it might be that Apple sucks, which may become more and more true as their music empire continues to dominate.

Sorry this update sucks. Yesterday when I was going to read my bible, I ended up falling asleep. But today I already did, and I found out that Jesus died, then rose from the dead, then told the disciples they had some serious responsibility coming up. Also, you know the controversial moment when "All the people answered, 'Let his blood be on us and on our children!" (Mt. 27:25 NIV)? Well, the New Jerusalem Version makes a point of who said it by reading "And the people, every one of them, shouted back..." Isn't that interesting? Also, what kind of Christian is going to be mad at the people who killed Jesus? That's like being mad at someone who saves you from drowning because they hit you in the face with the floatation device. Am I right? We're glad He died! That's why we call it Good Friday. Can I get an amen?!
