Yay for being happy

Wow, I’ve not heard this song in ages. I’d totally forgotten about it. Something about the vocals being quite chilling. Hmm.

Just bought a 12 month paid account.

And now iTunes is playing Placebo’s Bulletproof Cupid, which I love. :)

I’m in such a happy mood and I don’t know why. Weird.

Offtopic thought: I need my mum’s HD back from work, real soon, or else I’ll be in for hassle when I get home.

It’s weird seeing my userpic in this random photo of ’s…

Also, just realised I don’t need to hand in study skills stuff until next Monday, not 10am this morning. I feel some Halo 2 is in order, as a celebration. :p

  • MusicBrainz

    MusicBrainz is damn cool. It fills out the ID3 tags in MP3/AAC files by calculating the acoustic signature of each file (the audio content, not the actual entire file — effectively LISTENING to the music within those files). It’s not amazingly fast (7 seconds per song * 2279 songs = 4hrs 30mins roughly, were I to run it on my entire library), but it’s very very cool, nonetheless.

    Windows/Mac OS X only at the moment, but as I keep all my music on my PowerBook, I’m not complaining.

    Props to for pointing this out.

    PS. This reminds me a lot of Shazam.

  • TV Licensing

    Fucking TV Licensing people won’t leave me alone, despite the fact that I. DO. NOT. HAVE. A. TV.

    Yes, I know I don’t have a license. Why? I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING TV, MORONS.

    Yes, I know that if you caught me with TV reception equipment I’d face prosecution. Want to know why that doesn’t bother me? I DON’T FUCKING HAVE A TV!

    You “unfortunately missed [me] today, but will call again in a few days”, so that you can catch me using a TV that I DON’T HAVE?

    TV Licensing wastes so much taxpayers’ money it’s not true.

    Assholes.

  • Mmm, tactful…

    “Lee Harvey Oswald-wannabes will be able to simulate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy when Traffic Games releases the $9.99 JFK Reloaded on Monday to coincide with the 41st anniversary of Kennedy’s murder in Dallas. ‘It is despicable,’ said a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president’s brother.”

    Yay. 8am. Finished all three assignments at last!

    32 pages, including cover sheets (!!!)

    I think I earned myself a fryup.

  • This is awful, I know…

    What’s the difference between Superman and the guy in the Fatboy Slim Weapon of Choice video?

    One’s Christopher Walken.

    (I’m sorry.)
