Is this true?

"Many of us use our computers as our only CD player. If a disc will not play in a computer, It is useless, especially to the aforementioned commuter. It is certainly not worth paying up to twenty dollars for something it cost them under one dollar to manufacture. An example of these frequently unplayable discs is Charley Pride - A Tribute to Jim Reeves published by Music City Records. It is encoded with a protection scheme called mediacloq made by Sunncomm. In addition Music City Records, Sunncomm's website lists BMG, Fahrenheit Records, and Sunbird Records as their customers. Celine Dion's CD, A New Day Has Come causes computers to crash. It also has permanently damaged some CD-Rom drives by corrupting their firmware. If this disc is placed in a Macintosh Computer, it cannot be removed without the help of a professional service technician."

Not making me want to buy any CDs anytime soon. >_> Although, why the hell you'd even let yourself pay $20 for a CD unless it's imported (in which case you'd pay more ^^;) is beyond me. No one's CD is worth that much.

My headache's gone finally... although now my stomach's feeling a little strange, but it's nothing I can't cope with. I've been up for the past two hours, so I'm going to get a little more sleep... I think I can go to work today.

Okay.

I'm taking one more day, because I didn't really sleep too well, and the headache's creeping back. Definitely going tomorrow, and might even go later today...

The only thing now... I lost my appetite yesterday, and now it's back, and I can't find anything to eat. I wanted some eggs, but I think Marcia's been eating them over the weekends... Good that someone eats them, though. I haven't been eating eggs at home much lately. Trying to keep away from that. Still need to try those Eggbeaters, too.

Trying out a program called MP3Sheild that's supposed to detect MP3 file corruption. You know, "screechy MP3 syndrome". Thing is, I just downloaded Toxic by Britney Spears (because you guys KNOW I'm not buying one of her CDs, but the beat of that song is just too infectious), but I didn't even get a chance to try to detect any wrongdoing. The very first file I downloaded was a clean one. No cutting off, no screeching, played to the very end of the song. ^^;;; Tried it again with Jet's Are You Gonna Be My Girl, and it worked with that. Haven't been able to download a copy though, because absolutely every copy I encountered either needed more sources or was corrupt. There's something about that song that's worse than Toxic. >_>

(This is a shameless cry for help, by the way. Have the song? Gimme? Please? XD;;;)

I'm very wary about buying their CD now. I was going to, after hearing more of it and seeing if I liked it or not, but after reading that thing earlier about certain CDs crashing computers, and seeing every copy of the file broken, I don't trust them. Not at all. I won't touch a copy of their CD until I know for a fact that it won't do anything stupid, because if I lose my computer again, heads will roll. And it'll be the record label/RIAA's fault.

And I found something about Windows Media Player that's making me want to stop using it. I've already installed BSplayer in case I need a replacement for WMP. Need to tell Mom and Dad about this. Dad may have seen it, but I doubt it, since he wouldn't agree to something like that. And I definitely don't think Mom saw it. Here. Though it was brought up two years ago.

Yeah, I've learned my lesson. Read the stupid licensing agreements. Especially if they have anything to do with Microsuck. >_

Preorder 2005 anime calendars! Posting the link because they have both Get Backers and FMA calendars there. Me, I'm grabbing the Negima! one. ^^ Might nab another one next week if they still have some left.

I can't draw, and it's driving me crazy. -_-;; Head's bothering me again, but I think I'll clean up a bit.

And I can already smell the Italian sausages cooking in the kitchen. ;_; I haven't eaten anything all day but some crackers.

EDIT: Whoa, RentAnime.com is run by AnimeNation. I didn't know that. I like AnimeNation.

*tries to plug her headphones into her tablet*

...

... Anyway. I'm so not sleepy. Really.

Don't ask me how I tried to do that when I know there's no jack in this pancake-thin thing.

Feeling nearly 100% better (despite the fact that I just put the percentage mark before the number >_> I'm not sleepy!). And I'm browsing the NaNoWriMo forums, something I haven't done in probably half a year, and I'm starting to get pumped up again. Not that I have a clue what I'm going to do this time...

Trying to download Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz... at least the first movement. Saw the name in the forums, and I know I've heard it before... way back in one of those awful music history classes in high school. I remember the name, and I swear I've heard it... The curiosity's killing me.

I'm starting to get back into classical music. ^^; Used to have a bunch of midis, and I'm sure I still have them somewhere, but I want real performances... They kind of remind me of high school and all the fun I used to have playing some of the songs we did. We played this one, and it's one of the coolest songs ever. It's so creepy, mwahaha.

I almost miss the clarinet. Damned reeds were a pain in the butt, and mine always seemed to break right before a concert (which meant lots of squeaking due to having to use a brand new reed), but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was back then. I enjoyed myself.

EDIT: ... Every time I hear this song now, I think of Earthworm Jim and the Heck level. XDDD Gods, I miss that game.

*thud*

I'm a dork. My brother's a dork, too, but my brother was probably just distracted by the thought of losing the PS2 for a couple months. I left the PS2's video cord at the house. I was going to play ICO earlier today, finally, and there's no cord in the bag. The one we did have for the PSX got taken to the house when we took the PSX up there, since it hasn't been back here in months.

Thank goodness tomorrow's Thursday. A few more days. When I get back on Sunday, the very first thing I'm doing is going into Craig's room and playing ICO. And GitarooMan. Need to practice at that game if I'm going to beat the second level on Master.

I really wish I had that cord, I feel like kicking Gregorio's ass. His song is so awesome.

Marcia shall be gone soon--She'll be moving to her place in New Jersey. The apartment will be mine and Mom's again. I'm looking forward to that. Marcia hasn't been incredibly intrusive, but at the same time, it's obvious that she's around, and it's a little weird. ^^; Her curiosity over the "Chinese writing" on that Detective Conan pic still amuses me. She strikes me as the type that would get all nervous about music in other languages because people have nothing better to do than spout crap about Satan, solely because we can't understand it, mwahaha.

I'm going to bed after this song finishes. I will not let myself repeat it.

... Maybe once.

Okay. I'm going now.
