Holy. Crap.

Look at that price. It's so rediculous.

And at the rate I'm going my posts are more micro-blogging than anything.. If it wasn't for the fact that I despise Twitter (and that no one I know has one) then I probably would just be posting these little blurbs there. Although the link might take up most of the character space.. So that wouldn't be too useful.. Anyway, I might be posting a full length blog soon. But for now enjoy all my fun little links!

Wow, Really Guys?

“Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; where you lodge I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die — there will I be buried. May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!” (Ruth 1:16-17)

...The vow Ruth makes to Naomi (quoted above) has been read at Christian weddings for centuries because it so perfectly captures the essence of the love that should exist between spouses. It seems more than a little inconsistent to use these words to define and celebrate spousal love, but then adamantly insist that those who originally spoke the words did not love each other like spouses.


That's only one of many points made in this single article. It's a little lengthy, but you should read it.

Proposition 8

So all, if not most, of us know what happened in California with gay marriage. It was passed and then Prop. 8 was passed not too soon after, which is an addition to the Constitution of the State of California that explicitly bans gay marriage. Luckily for the hundreds of couples who were already married while it was still legal, it did not say anything about existing gay marriages. But obviously gay rights activists weren't happy about that, so they're not just sitting back and taking it. Tomorrow (Half an hour away!) is the start of one of the most contreversal and influential Court cases since the African-American rights era. On January 10, 2010 the Courts will hear the case of Perry v. Schwarzenegger. This is a case challenging the legality of Proposition 8. If anyone's interested in how the case goes I'm sure that there'll be something in the news about it, but you never know since the admittence of this case into the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wasn't in any mainstream news, but if you're interested in keeping up with it you can be sure that www.queerty.com will be keeping up with it.

Ke$ha is Ashley Tisdale for Black People?

She looks like Ashley Tisdale, sings like a white rapper, and mentions P-Diddy in her songs.. Oh and spells her name with a money sign. How long do you think it'll be until Disney signs her to reach their black audience?

Silly iTunes, Trix are for kids!

And bullets are for Steve Jobs head. Or at least whatever programming team designed iTunes. Alright so, for a while now I haven't had my full library of music on my computer, but I recently got around to getting everything all in one place. Until I did that I had about 400 songs on my computer. I made sure that all of the songs were equalized correctly and that they all had album names, covers, correct artist names, I put "comments" on some of them and orgainzed them into smart playlists and all that stuff. Then I uploaded the 900 or so songs that I had on my PS3 onto my computer through a long annoying process of manually copying every single one of them to my phone and then waiting the half hour as my computer sputtered trying to keep up with the huge file transfer.. And then I realized I had to go through the whole process again with all those songs. Fair enough I suppose, it's my fault for downloading everything from FrostWire/LimeWire/Online Torrents/Places that aren't iTunes unless I couldn't find it anywhere else and then not keeping up with all the album names. So I started to make a dent in all of them, I tackled Simple Plan which is big because I have pretty much every single song by them and I made sure they were all from the right album and that all of the albums were spelled correctly and all showed up under a single album instead of multiple ones.. But apparently when you drag something into the iTunes window off of say, a phone, it doesn't make a copy of the file onto your computer. It just reads the file through your phone. Which I wouldn't have really known because I did this the night before going on the long drive to Vermont, so after I copied everything I just left my phone plugged in to charge. Whatever I listened to played fine because it was reading off my phone. But when I came back today wanting to relax and listen to some music I found out that; SURPRISEEE!!! WE DIDN'T COPY THE FILES TO YOUR COMPUTERRR!!! So I got all of those annoying little exclamation marks that pop up next to a song when iTunes doesn't know where it is, complete with the "Oh, we can't find it. You can manually sift through your entire computer and see if you can scruff it up if you want. We'll play it THEN!" error message. So now I had to delete everything from the iTunes library, including all of the songs that I equalized perfectly and balanced out, and start from scratch. Yay for iTunes.

Braving the Blistering Winds in Bathing Suits

Wow.. So today Anna managed to convince me to go into the hot tub.. While it was snowing outside and wind..ing... So I ran outside bare foot through the snow to get to the hot tub, in a bathing suit, and then I had to struggle to get in because I'm pathetically short.. *Sigh*.. And then when it was time to go in the door was locked so I had to stand there until my mom came and unlocked it... Which means I stood there for all of five seconds and sprinted back to the hot tub.. Except of course that's when my mom came to the door, so after struggling back in I had to get out again. But everything in between that was fun and worth it. Unfortunately we're leaving tomorrow and that means our vacation is over and.. It's time to go to school again.. Yay..

So how was your break?
