ok so how pissed am I at Case Logic… u know, the company that makes things to carry cds in. Yah ok so eric bought me 2 of the sun visor cd holder things for my car for my birthday. spectacular. excited. eric has had them for a while, they’re really handy, super. ok except that mine have scratched every cd i had in there (minus a few that never have seen the cd player yet). yah big straight line scratches about a centemeter away from the edge of the cd (i think they’d be called tangent lines in mathematical terms, cuz i’m a dork). some of the cds are short enough that the scratch misses the printed area of the cd and doesnt effect play. others, not so lucky. I went through and cleaned every one, trying to fix the scratches. Case Logic had “tips to protect your cds” one of them being, if u have a scratch, look at the cd in front of a light source, and if u can see light through the scratch it’s beyond repair, if not, u can buy stuff at the store to fix it. my cleaner has fixed scratches in the past, so hoping it fixed the minor ones. But at least 2 cds are completely ruined.
1. Tangents – the tea party – which is an import, so it’s expensive…”waiting for a sign” i think it’s called, skips.
2. Pretty Hate Machine – nin – yah i’ve already replaced this cd once at the wall, and when i went to replace Tangents, the wall doesn’t exist anymore. crap and a half. Only “ringfinger” skips, and it’s beyond skipping, it’s the cd laser stops at the scratch and wont move past it.
trying out Orgy Vapor Transmissions right now, cuz that one was a bit see through. Then I have to try the downward spiral….so fucking pissed. i cant afford to replace all these cds, and its not like they’re crap cds i dont listen to. they were in the cases for a reason, cuz they’re my favs and i want to listen to them in the car.
so now the cds are back in another Case Logic product, one of the book holders, which i was scared to use to begin with because i’m afraid the plastic sleeves might melt….which is worse, scratches or melted plastic on a cd?
ok and now since i have to replace tangents and phm i went to half.com to search for them, see if they’re cheap….the site must be fucked up because i got no hits for NIN, got hits for the tea party but when i clicked to see more music hits, it was like not found. so they must be broken right now. ebay had PHM for .01 it was the alternate version that the cd is blue and pink…but it was like 4$ shipping and i can find PHM for 5 bucks in a store…if someone wants to give me PHM or Tangents that’d be cool too 🙂
mtv sucks. ok thats not ground breaking news that no one has heard before. but it sucks even more now. ok i read this article in USA today, one of the shittiest most lame brain newspapers around, about mtv.com and the new site, and how theyre integrating it with mtv and mtv2. They had this statement. oh wait maybe i can find it… lemme see…usatoday.com does that work? yes it does! ah ha, found the article…
“A 360 approach to Destiny’s Child, for example, would feature the group
performing on MTV’s top-rated Total Request Live (TRL). The graphic
would show that MTV2 was showing several videos from the band at that
moment, and downloads and information about the trio were available on
MTV.com.
The 360 approach isn’t being used at all times on TV but is a constant
component of the revamped site. ”Our audience wants to interact with the
channel,” says Nicholas Butterworth, CEO of MTVi. ”
OK WHAT IS THE POINT OF THAT?!?!?!?!?!?! If i don’t want to watch fucking Destiny’s child on TRL the i can put on MTV2 to find something differernt….WELL NOT ANYMORE. I DONT WANT TO FUCKING WATCH DESTINY’S CHILD. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE CHANNEL AND SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF HAVING 2 MTV CHANNELS IF THEYRE GOING TO PLAY THE SAME SHIT.
now i dont get mtv2 so i guess it doesnt matter, but once adelphia does get it, I want to see fucking VIDEOS of GOOD bands… and not the same fucking SHIT that is on MTV already…and YES i want to interact with the channel. I want to request a video and SEE IT! I WANT TO SEE A FUCKING VIDEO. CAN U IMAGINE MUSIC TELEVISION ACTUALLY PLAYING MUSIC VIDEOS?!?! FUCKING A!
ok done. next…
it was mentioned to me by someone that Eric says “fucking A” alot. While i’ve never noticed this, he must, because after spending 2 days with him this weekend, I’ve said it like 5 times today…and i never say it.
Yah so me and Adrienne went to visit Eric in Rochester on Saturday afternoon, hit the cd stores, got dinner at jack astors, went to 2 malls…yay fun wow. I played atari LOL. Sunday he came back home, went to another mall, and media play cuz i found a gift card i didn’t know i had. yay fun wow even more. yah we have no lives.
