My Sad Story

Bec Cartwright has become the talk of the town, I tells ya. Every talk show host, morning radio nitwit and water cooler loudmouth has something to say about the future Mrs. Hewitt. She celebrated her engagement just as most girls do, by posing half naked for FHM... For those outside of Oz, who haven't had the privilege of listening to drive by radio, her singles are hitting the airwaves. The little vixen won't be undone by fellow soapy stars Kylie M. and Delta G., she wants her man and her Aria. Lleyton, on the other hand, is just happy he replaced Princess Fiona before his career faltered any further.


All you NY hipsters out there, what's your impression of The Gates...


Ms. Fits is my new favourite blogger... I squirted coffee out my nose at this.


I was trying to figure out why my Ipod keeps stopping after I have been running for a half hour or so, when I stumbled on the following CNET review. Please pray that "Col. Hia" does not receive a puppy for Christmas this year.

"My sad story."

Pros: Look and chrome.
Cons: It crashed my two PCs, the software that came with it crashed them both whenever I pluged in the Ipod. I finally got it to work because I had to turn off some settings on my computer. Well, when I finally got the music on it, it got 32 songs on it before I Tunes froze. While I was restarting the comp, I tryed out my Ipod and the thing played each song like it was playing a skipping record. I whacked it a few times to get it to work and I dropped it. I picked it up and the backlight was still on but there were no words on the screen. I turned it off. I tryed for 3 hours to get it to work again. I cried a few times and swore at Apple for this. I called their number and the first thing they said to me was if I had updated its firmware. I was like "What the heck?" Wasn't Apple supposed to make products that non-tech savvy people could use easily? I told him I dropped it, she laughed and explained that drops weren't covered by the warrenty. I swore and she hanged up on me. I threw the Ipod to the ground, I then realized that was stupid and imediatly picked it up to see if it was okay. When I tried to turn it on, it just turned on with half of the screen with a back light and it started to make a faint grinding noise in it. I shook it and the grinding stopped. The then screen flashed "Service needed, problem with software." So, there I was, in my bedroom holding a broken Ipod in my hand. I just broke down and got into the fetal position. Two weeks later I ordered a Creative Zen Touch because it was like a Ipod with more features and was $50 cheaper. My Ipod, and it only played one song: "Talkin' About my Generation"
