“Customers with 30gb Zune devices may experience issues when booting their Zune...”
– Zune Service Status note from the official Zune support site.
At 2 AM this morning, pretty much every Zune 30 in the world stopped working in an event being dubbed Z2K9 (although the culprit isn’t likely to be a calendar-based issue).
Update: Official fix — wait until next year.

Talk by Coldplay, from the album X&Y.
A Beautiful Mind.
Alicia: How big is the universe?
Nash: Infinite.
Alicia: How do you know?
Nash: I know because all the data indicates it's infinite.
Alicia: But it hasn't been proven yet.
Nash: No.
Alicia: You haven't seen it.
Nash: No.
Alicia: How do you know for sure?
Nash: I don't, I just believe it.
Alicia: It's the same with love I guess.

Hot pot lunch.
My family (plus a friend) went to this yummy hot pot restaurant on Valley for lunch today, and we started talking about my mom’s dad, who’s really eccentric. We ended up talking about my mom’s side of the family, and here’s a bit of it:
My grandma started out as a small claims judge in Taiwan, and moved her way up to a Supreme Court Justice. People saluted her. Today,...

Oh man.
My dad thinks that if we just keep the wine, it’ll age and end up tasting better. So like, we just found a bunch of unopened wine bottles in the closet and apparently, they were so old that there were gross little particles floating around in the liquid. Moral of the story: don’t be dumb like my dad and try to “age” wine on your own. Just drink it.

I talk in my sleep.
It’s called somniloquy. My mom says I only mumble unintelligibly (but annoyingly), which is a bit of a relief. Sleep talkers don’t have control over what is being said, so I’m glad I only have a mild case.
Yeah, no sleep-overs for me.

There aren’t a whole lot of literary works so far, but they have this cool quotes section, with quotes for every theme in the book. Helpful for those essays, right?

I know I reblogged this earlier, but the original post and blogger seem to have mysteriously vanished. Anyways, this is a script that allows one to download other people’s nifty audio posts. In order to install this script, you have to get Greasemonkey first.

Lazy.
Sometimes, I’ll think of something I should blog about, but then I’ll forget. So I’ll sit and idiotically watch my dashboard, trying to remember. My tumblr would be so much more interesting if I just posted right away instead of putting it off.
I’ve been feeling really quiet and content lately. I haven’t been going out much, not a lot of shopping, obsessive...

When I was about two and a half, my family went out on a trip to Seattle. My mom says I got really sick while I was there and that my sister wouldn’t stop feeding the seagulls. I don’t remember a thing. But while we were there, we met a friend of my mom’s who was in the same class in high school. She has less than a month to live due to advanced breast cancer that has spread to...

Wii Rant.
So a while ago, we bought some ground Peet’s Coffee, Major Dickason blend, and my sister wanted the Wii’s nickname to be Major Dickason. We tried to enter that, but there was a maximum of 10 letters. So I tried Major Dick as a totally hilarious, inappropriate, and immature abbreviation, but they voted against it.
:(
Death.
Me: Hey mommy, what's the name of the hamster?
Mom: Death.
Sister: ..It's Momo.

Theme.
I really love this new Tumblr layout. It has everything I want. My only issue is that the tags keep disappearing, but that’s not a really big deal since it has a search function.
Wheee. ^^

Fries Rant
My buying/eating fries doesn’t mean I’m not a vegetarian. So it’s made in a very non-animal-friendly place. And? Does buying fries order another animal to death? No. If I were to buy a burger or hot dog, then yes, that would mean killing an animal. But buying fries does not. I am not paying for meat. I am paying for fried potatoes. Potatoes are vegetables, from the Plant...

Ranting is necessary when you watch the Holiday...
It so pisses me off when people talk during a performance. It’s not whispering if I can hear you from over eighteen inches away, it’s talking. Blatant, disrespectful talking. I don’t care if the performance sucks major ass. The people around you might not think so, and it’s extremely rude, you arrogant, uncivilized hick.

Last night, I dreamed that instead of working on formations in the North Gym on Monday, we went out to a dry, empty field and met a clan of really friendly penguins.
