OH OH OH LOOK LOOK LOOK.

Okay, so today has been really odd. First, all the 30gb (and 80gb too, I think) Zunes around the world have frozen on the loading screen. I am not in an absolute shitfit over this because my Zune has never given me problems before in the two years I have had it and I have my music on cds and the computer. I am eyerolling at all the Overdramatic Tools who are slitting wrists over it and threatening to sue -- and also eyerolling over all the Apple Fanboys like, "WELL THAT'S WHY I HAVE AN IPOD HUR HUR." I won't even get started on those people -- nerdy/know-it-all brand whores (I don't care what mp3/computer/console/etc. you back) are even worse than regular brand whores. I know because I dated one. Plus, ALL ELECTRONICS have problems sooner or later -- NOTHING is PERFECT. Effing MP3 players and computers should not be things people BITCH AT EACH OTHER OVER. SERIOUSLY.

(This is my favorite exchange I saw on the Zune boards today.

Poster 1: yeah theres definately something very very wrong with the zune... i wish i did my research befor buying this useless fking product.
Poster 2: So your research would have told you that an undetermined coding issue was going to cause a problem at some future date?

Maybe you should also do your research on correct spelling.

and also: "People who are bitching: Bugs happen. Be happy you have electricity, clean water, indoor plumbing, and access to food. Some people don't. MP3 players are not a basic human right, they are a LUXURY."

and this one too: "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MY ZUNE IS TEH BROKEN. HACKERZ BROKE MY ZUNE CLOCK.. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW!! Oh.. i'll turn on the radio or play a CD (remember those?)"

I love the internet. XD)


Then at work today, the weather/our building decided to play with us. It was sunny outside and really windy. Then a few clouds came (but you could still see it was sunny). There was a giant flash of lightning and a huge rumble of thunder. It snowed for about 45 seconds and then our power went out, came back on and went out again. Then when the power returned it started snowing really heavy for about a minute. THEN THE SUN CAME BACK OUT COMPLETELY. D:

WTF IS GOING ON TODAY? IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT AND I FEEL FINE?


(LOLOLOL PERSONA 4 GAMEFAQS BOARD:

Poster 1: Chie just Galactic Punted a Turret Enemy.
Poster 2: Which makes you wonder if Yosuke suffered any permanent damage from when Chie kicked him in the junk.)
