Rhapsody Can Lick My Fucking Balls

Yes, Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.

Google finds keywords, so let me repeat this one more time:
Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.

Why? I signed up for Napster after they got sued and went legit. It was $14 per month to download and listen all the songs I possibly could wanted to download.

Don't leave yet! You haven't yet found out why Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.

I had upwards of oh, 800 songs downloaded, and another 400 or so copied to my Sansa player that I had ripped from my CDs. So yes, there were plenty of tunes.

Then Rhapsody bought out Napster. Now, Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.
First off, I installed the piece of shit java based Rhapsody interface. Good gawd. I haven't used such slow piece of shit software in my life! Unresponsive, unintuitive, cumbersome, ignorant piece of shit.

Eventually, I got it to respond and the asshole Rhapsody licensing wouldn't transfer. All the songs I had downloaded to my player would no longer work.
Rhapsody wanted me to reformat my device. Said it was corrupt, and couldn't download the license keys.
I fought with it and fought with it, to no avail. I reformatted it.

Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.

So after the reformat, piece of shit Rhapsody took it upon itself to start synching my library. It wanted to re-download every song I had previously downloaded, and transfer those to my player. I left it alone overnight thinking that should be plenty of time. Oh, how wrong I was. After a week, it still wasn't done. It had even taken upon itself to download some rap songs from gawd knows where. Anyone that knows me knows I don't do rap. At all.

Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.

I finally get a lot of my shit working again. I would say, 1/3 of the original songs I had downloaded were back on my player. So then I re-add some of my ripped CD songs, and BEHOLD! Rhapsody says I need to reformat me device because the license is invalid!

Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.

So to sum things up, don't use Rhapsody.
Their licensing is flaky.
Their interface is a dog slow piece of shit.
You really don't have any control over what it downloads.
Trying to find a song you want to download takes 10-20 steps, instead of the 1 or 2 Napster required.

One last time, Rhapsody can lick my fucking balls.

Merry HoHo!!!

Well, here I am checking in again!

The countdown to Christmas, hustle/bustle, stores packed, all that shit. I'll stay away myself. I purchased what I needed to purchase already.
I'm just glad Christmas Day is on a weekend so we get a 3-day weekend out of the deal.

Now here is a re-post of one of my favorite pictures by Bev Dolittle.

Hi Again!

Sorry Freddie. I know.

Well, here's another update.
We just got back from a vacation last week in sunny Florida. Good time.
Now it's a short week before turkey day!

Not much other than that to report on though. Work is busy, holidays coming, the world keeps turning.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Holy Shit! Who's This?

Can you believe it? I'm updating again!

I don't even know where I left off last time, but I do know that 'someone' checked in and gave me a "nudge". Hi there. :)

So... I am currently in Houston attending some schoolin'. Using my currently development environment, I am turning into a dinosaur. (For those who know anything about computer languages, think COBOL).
So I am learning some new technologies to send me into the 2000's.

The bad thing about this trip is that I was at our cabin in the mountains last Wednesday through Sunday, then had to shag-ass home Sunday morning to get to the airport on time to get on the plane to Houston that evening. Long day.

But trip to the mountains was good. Had some of my brothers up there to help me get firewood all cut up for the winter, played some cards, did some serious bullshitting, etc. Good time.

Well, time for a lunch break, then back to school.

HAVE FUN!


Update:
I thought of some things I should put in here, some thoughts on Houston.
Much different than where I live.
1- The people here are much friendlier. In person and in their cars. In person, they say "Hello". In their cars, they actually let you change lanes when you have your blinker on.

2- If you live here, XM or Sirius radio is a must. I scanned through oh, 20 stations of bible study and mexican music before I found one that was rock.

3- Humid. I am having a bad hair day.

4- They aren't all rednecks. In fact, I've seen very few Bubbas here.

5- Good food. I went to an excellent steak house Monday and a great Tex-Mex place last night. There's a seafood place on the way back to the hotel I may have to try tonight.

Okay, that's enough for now. Like I said, LATER!!!

Time Flys / Flies

Or is it flies all the time?
Summer brings them by the tons. But at least I don't live close to a feed lot.

Speaking of summer, I took this picture of my dash on the way home from work yesterday.  Fucking heat is being obnoxious.

The good news is that I have On Star in my truck, and the On Star app on my phone. So while I was in the grocery store checkout line today, I used my telephone to start my truck so it would be all nice and cool by the time I got out to it. Cool truck = no melted ice cream! WOOHOO!

Anyway, how's everyone been?
I've still been slacking with the blog. I think of things, then forget them by the time I get here. I reckon they must not be that important.

Funny story though, Mrs Curmudgeon called me at work today to tell me the dogs had caught a rat in the back yard and had chewed its head off. She even sent me pictures. Well, it looks like a rat or maybe a gerbil, but one way or the other I'm guessing it was some kid's pet that escaped their pen and took a wrong turn. We just don't have rats around here.
By the way, "good doggie" to whoever caught it. And if you let me know which of you t was, there's an extra Milkbone in it for you. :)

Well, I guess that's it for today. TTYL!

More News

So it's been quite a spell, eh?
All is well. I just don't really give a shit about posting blogs any more I reckon. Since I don't bitch about politics and the news much any more, I reckon there's not much to bitch about. Change the things you can, accept the things you can't, know the difference, all that shit.
Besides, I reckon I've gone to the dark side. I poke around on facebook much more than here. Those people from 20, 30, 40 years ago. It's like a time capsule sometimes.

So the news is (well, to some it's news, to others it's like "No Fucking Shit"), NASA has proven the "Global Warming™" is bullshit. That it has been a made up scare by do-gooder blowhards. Go read the news on Yahoo. I ain't going to bother with a link.

In other news, Mark came up for the weekend and us and 3 other guys took off to 'The Retreat' for a guy's weekend. Got plenty of poker, ATV riding, fishing, movies and adult beverages taken care of. A good time fer sher.

Quick question: Why is it that ... no, I ain't going there. No more political shit on this blog.

Okay then, I'm going to poke around and visit some of the regulars now. (Hi Freddie! Hi Jean! Hi Deb! Joe! Dennis! ...)

See y'all next time!

Random Randomizations

WOOHOO!!! School's out! Now I don't have to keep slowing down for school zones, where there are no children going to school. It's just a 'zone'.

So how have you been?

Nothing exciting to report here, I just got bored with the blog. I figgered if I couldn't write anything that was even interesting to me, then no one else would be very interested either. Hence, no posts.
Don't worry, I still read a bunch of your blogs, and sometimes I even comment. But the daily stops have dwindled a bunch. Especially the political ones. Politics pisses me off too much. It's amazing how stupid elected officials are, and it's even more amazing how stupid the people who elected them must be to have elected them to those positions. So rather than just be upset with the majority of the population, I'll just study myself up for who I want, vote for them, and forget it.

I think I'll just concentrate on blogs with cute puppy themes. Maybe some crocheting related blogs. Those seem to be fairly mellow.

Yeah, right.

Anyway, gotta run. Got some work to do.

Have fun!
