Paranoia... paranoia... everybody's coming to get me!

I interrupted a dream with Theodore Cillian Murphy (OMGTEHHOT) to bring you these semi-not-really-earth-shattering thoughts from my planet news.


1. Entertainment Weekly describes the character of Seth Cohen thusly: ...Has a heterosexual man-crush on faux bro Ryan. That's verbatim, people. Mock not the gay!

2. Is there anyone else out there who can understand why when I realized there was a Jeff Buckley video was on the telly for the second time this week I dropped everything I was doing to go and look at it. It's not a new video (would be hard for somebody dead seven years), but dude, a Jeff video. On network telly?! ::stunned::

3. How do you change the default program that files open into? For example if I double click on a file and want it to open in Works (yick) and not Word (since my Word doesn't work, rant for another day), how do I change the mapping to do so?

4. Overheard on radio, random wanna-be-punk group shrieking "We don't live in America!" Response: Yes, that's all well and good, but you don't have to shriek about it.

5. I don't know who's programming VH1's Mega Hits channel, but wow, I want to buy them drinks: OK Go, The Chemical Brothers, Harvey Danger, Morcheeba, JEFF, The Verve, ...at one point it was the best of British Stool-Rock (go mid-90s!)

Changing the mapping depends on your operating system, but if you're running XP, you can right click on any document that maps to word, click Properties, and look at the General tab. There should be an option that says "Open with:" and then you can change that. Just make sure that the box labelled, "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" is ticked.

Thank you, sweetie!

Also, um, how goes the beta? ::bites nails::

Well, so far the cat is a really big fan - he's been sleeping on the pages. I just have to type the shit up for you: tomorrow, probably! Don't bite your nails, it ruins your manicure.

Why did you drop everything to watch Jeff Buckley videos?

... because Jeff Buckley is a wonderful thing. Alas, I've never seen his videos on television. And if one more person asks me, "Jeff who?" my head will explode.

Wen people don't know about Jeff I bring it upon myself to educate them. Loudly. And for a long time. ;)

I do the same thing. My mother has gotten used to it, but my sister still thinks I'm nuts. But then again, she listens to rap, so she has no room to talk when it comes to musical preference.

Jeff is/was on the cover of Rolling Stone Australia this last issue, for some reason. It was all very strange.

Really? It must be down to the release of the Grace Legacy LP.

you'll have to excuse me, i'm just commenting to say OMG VH1 MEGA HITS BEST CHANNEL EVER. my roommates and i spend something like twenty hours a week watching vh1 mega hits and, morcheeba! tori amos! bjork! beck! really old radiohead! it's sort of a wealth of riches and strange because it's VH1, but i'm not gonna fight it. i was just amused to see that i'm not the only one singing their praises, i just made a whole post about it in my lj, too.

I don't tend to watch telly, (except for two hours -- The OC and Lost) but I'll have that on, like, all the time.
