And here come the waterworks! iTunes Party Shuffle is just not a good idea at the office.
Maybe if I'm lucky a seagull will poo on my head later
You know you’ve got a case of the Mondays when you waste ten minutes trying to squeeze into a too-small parking space right near the front door of your office, only to have to give up and park about a ten-minute walk away, though you know your brand-new stiff leather pumps with the narrow toe are not ready for that kind of journey yet. Then as you’re opening the car door, you have only a split second to admire the left pump as it swings out of the car and directly onto what would normally be the pavement below, but today happens to be a rather decomposed, but still delightedly fleshy, 12-lb rat carcass. That’s when you know you’ve got a case of the Mondays.January222008
Warning: there is vomit in this video. I generally don’t like anything vomit-related, but I do fucking hate Mondays, so it’s a wash.

I’m not sure where to start with this. Ok, I’ll start. Why is Ted Danson in this video?

This morning, I walked into the living room and caught Sam and Lucy hovering over my Macbook. They saw me and split, but left the evidence.
I’m a bit troubled by this.

Amazon's MP3 store is better than I thought
Availability is much better than I expected. They’ve had about 2/3 of the albums I’ve searched for.
Pricing is fantastic — every album I’ve searched for has cost $8-10, and those are all 256 kbit/s MP3s with no DRM.
Apple has not been able to negotiate similar availability for iTunes Plus (DRM-free 256 kbit/s AACs). I’ve only ever found one iTunes Plus album in my searches. None of my sought albums, with or without DRM, cost less than $10.
Apple should be worried. iTunes isn’t losing most of its business anytime soon, but this is a significant long-term threat — especially if Amazon continues to negotiate better distribution deals from the labels.

Agreed. The DRM thing is huge!
