My life has gotten so monotonous that it feels like I've got this constant drone going on in my head, like "neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnneeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr rehhhh rehhhhhhh rehhh"... However, as I sit here and think about it, what do I really have to complain about? I'm healthy, and happy, albeit fairly poor... so I should probably stop bitching.
Or not. It's just so much fun.
I've been thinking about how much my life has changed in the four years of college. I came here with barely any close friends at CSU, no clue as to what I wanted to do, and no idea who I was. I told Ashton when I saw him last, "if we could be the people we are now, in high school, we would run that place." I've just changed so much, from a well-liked, slightly outgoing person into a reasonably well-tolerated, gregarious individual. I love my friends, and even though I get sick of them every so often, I've had the best time with them. That's why it's so strange that it's all kind of coming to an end. I mean, they're all moving to Denver, but I'm not sure that's the path I want to take -- I want to get out of Colorado for a while, but that would mean I would have to leave everyone behind. If only I could convice them to come with me somewhere. Hmm.
We saw Knocked Up on Friday -- I had such high expectations that it slightly disappointed. The scenes with all of the guys were the funniest, and there should have been more of them. I guess I was expecting a comedy, but instead, I got a romantic comedy. Oh, and three shots of a baby's head crowning. Thanks Judd Apatow. I guess I'll just have to hold out for SuperBad. Michael Cera is a bad mothafucka. Or something.
I can't wait for Grindhouse and Hot Fuzz to come out on DVD. Expect me to be talking about them incessantly again when that happens.
Today at Chipotle, if you donated canned food, you got a free burrito. It was glooooooorious! I kept ogling everyone in line with my mouth stuffed full of burrito. Pretty much everyone in the world came. Go if you can -- it's for a good cause.
This is really sweet: Lala.com is offering free streaming of all of their albums in the hopes that you'll pony up the money to put them on your ipod.
"It's like a subscription music service, but without the monthly subscription fee. Lala is betting that in return for getting all that free access to music at home, listeners will pay to buy the songs they want to take with them on iPods and other music players. The prices will range from $6.50 to $13.50 for an album. (For now, Lala plans to sell music only by the album rather than song by song.)
Lala, whose owners include Bain Capital LLC and several veteran Silicon Valley investors, is underwriting the free offering by paying major labels $6 to $8 a user each month, about the same wholesale rate paid by online music-subscription services like RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody. But where Rhapsody and its competitors charge users $12 a month for "all you can eat streaming," www.Lala.com will charge nothing. And where Rhapsody and its competitors require users to load special -- and occasionally glitchy -- programs to access their offerings, Lala will work through a normal Web browser. Users of Lala's Web-based service can create and save playlists, send them to friends and browse the virtual collections of other users -- all for free.More important still, the new service will work with Apple Inc.'s iPods -- something no iTunes competitor featuring major-label content has been able to do."
So, now when I make incredibly awesome music suggestions (as I often do, even though they are seemingly ignored by most of my readers) you can click your happy ass over to Lala.com and listen to the whole album for free.
Alright, I'm going to work now... Expect another post in 15 minutes.
