For those of us who can't have real pumpkins...

There's virtual pumpkin carving.

Oh I'm a wanderer, yeah, I'm a wanderer...

I think that's everywhere I've been(correct me if I'm wrong).

H/T to The Dork

Very, very interesting...but stupid!

It's official, the latest version of iTunes is definitly not empathic. In fact it may well be posessed. The older versions of iTunes seemed to be at least somewhat empathic; I could be thinking that I'd like to hear a song and it would be the next song that played(I suppose that may also point to posession), or at least it would pick music that could make me feel better.

The new version is just strange. I've had the flu all week and my brain, nerves, and emotions have all been a little bit on edge. I was feeling better today for the most part and was eating again(only light stuff) and now I'm still up because I'm sick again. In the time since I started feeling worse(5-ish hours), and out of 1600 songs, iTunes has played "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind three times, "Sounds of Silence" four times and "Brick" by Ben Folds three times. I'm mildly worried about my computer being preoccupied with playing songs about suicide and abortion. I'm having a really hard time trying to get it to randomly select any of the upbeat music that it normally goes with.

Just a tad odd.
