The Cube!

Well I'm kinda sad. I lost my IPod yesterday. :(

I let the office know about it at school, and I hope a kind soul finds it and gives it to the office. The drive home pissed me off last night. I hate the radio here. There's two stations that i can stand, but i just happened to turn on the radio when both the stations were playing commercials.

So I swung by Best Buy to pick up Anberlin's new CD New Surrender, but they were sold out, along with Target. Luckily, after Best Buy, a song that sounded good was playing on the radio. So half my drive had good music.

I'll give it a week of listening to CDs, before I go out and buy a new IPod. I'm debating between a 16 GB IPod nano, or 16 GB IPod Touch. Hundred dollar difference between the two, and size difference. But the Touch does have awsome stuffs, like WiFi, and a nice screen for videos among other things. But the Nano is nice and tiny. So I don't know. I don't think I would jailbreak the touch, if i got it. Anyways, moving on.

So I finally installed Ubuntu succesfully on my computer. I'm having fun with it. Especially with Compiz Fusion. Very fun. I can rotate my desktops in a cube, make it rain on my desktop, among a ton of other things. My super key doesn't work though. The super key is the windows key in the linux world.

Crap. I just figured out that my Windows Key doesn't work in Windows either. Both of them don't work, which is odd. Everything else works though. with little to no tweaking. I had to enable my video drivers and wireless card drivers because they are restricted, but they were recognized right away, and the second I enabled them, they worked great. I guess I don't understand restricted drivers a 100%, but oh well.

I've been playing with other things in Ubuntu too. I'm gonna play with it tonight. Find a code editor like Crimson editor for linux. Yeah I know. There's Vi, and Gedit, but they aren't the same. Especially Vi. Gedit is color coded, but I need a smich more.

I made up a word. Smich. It might have to be Smidge. I like that better. Smidge. Tell your friends.

I have to say this though. I like Vista a lot. Yes I know. I love Ubuntu and Vista equally for different reasons. The driver support is incredible for Vista. My friend built a new computer, and we didn't format his harddrive that had Vista on it. We upgraded from a dual core to a quadcore, a huge video card, and everything except the drives and power supply. We booted into Vista, and right away, the "Installing devices" in the taskbar showed up. I opened the hardware Management MMC snapin and saw all these unknown and not installed devices. One by one, the devices showed up as installed and known. Everything did. It needed a restart, so we did. Then we installed updates, which had a new driver update for the video card. Bam! Awesome.

Alright. Last thing. My friend found another musical. This ones different. If you don't like musicals, you'll probably like this one. Why? Because it has heavier music. Like hard rock music. Very drum driven in most songs.

What is it called? Repo! The Genetic Opera. It comes out in theaters November 7. The director is the same director of the Saw movies, if that helps you. To here a sweet sample, go to the website and check out the Zydrate video clip. The song is awesome, and so is the scene.

Repo! takes place in a future where organ failure is the main cause of death. A company named GeneCo makes synthetic organs that are afordable. They have 90 day grace period to pay off your organs. But if you don't pay by the end of your 90 days, a Repo man comes after you to reposses your organs that they gave you. To save you money, Repo men don't use anesthetic. Interesting.

Then there's the drug Zydrate. It makes you num. Good for surgerys. Grave-Robber is a man who sells Zydrate on the streets. He also steals the organs from the Repoman's victims that died. He sells them on the black market.

That's the background information to Repo! The plot revolves around Shilo, a daughter of an overprotective father, who blames himself for his wife's death. I've listened to the soundtrack a few times, and i want ot know more and can't wait for this movie.

That's all I have.

Bye.
