Worship the TV

I now have a giant TV in my living room. It is all flat and shiny and so very big that it looks like I should be setting up an altar and sacrificing virgins to it. I am rather hoping that BSG tonight has many large explosions on it so that I can admire them.

In other news rotten i-tunes took back purchased music from my ipod because I switched to a new computer and you have to authorize the computer. Funny they don't mention when you BUY THE MUSIC that one day you will plug your ipod into your new computer and the mighty hand of Apple will reach into it and take music off your playlist. You will get some of the stuff back by clicking on EACH AND EVERY SONG and reauthorising it. I guess the next step is people from Apple turning up on my doorstep when I move and taking away my CDs. After all, I moved around and thus they aren't mine until I prove that they are! Last music I buy online.

Hockey or why won't my team sign anyone?

So here we are with hockey once more going to be played in stadiums across the US and Canada. There's a new collective bargaining agreement, there's excitement in the air, and teams are signing players like crazy. Well, most teams are signing people. And there's the rub. Because my team, Carolina, appears to be doing sod all. People, Corey Stillman and Oleg Tverdovsky do not a team make! Precisely who are they planning on putting in goal? The team mascot? The guy who throws the pucks out on the ice? Sparky the wonderdog?

In a completely unrelated question, can anyone think of a reason why you would line your windows completely with tinfoil? The people in the apartment opposite ours have done this. I have two theories:
a. they don't want the aliens to read their thoughts
b. they are making porn films there and they have lighting issues.
However, perhaps I am misjudging them and there are all sorts of reasons why you would put foil in your windows.

BSG - be still my shipper's heart

( There's Death! Sports! And Adama! No one ever has fun on BSG! Spoilers for tonight's episode )

 

 

 

ETA: BSG looks very good on giant tv.
