you are no wallflower
The iTunes Music Store is now selling video! There are several videos that have been pinpointed so far. One is Thievery Corporation’s latest single, Warning Shots. With the purchase of that “album”, the video is included. I downloaded it, and it is wonderful. This must be a first, true implementation of H.264.
Selling video could begin an entire new wave of online purchases, namely video, but I mean it more so in the realm of legal movie downloads and legal television downloads. And can someone say “iPod video”? The future is closing in on us. And by the way, the videos are only available from download if you are using iTunes 4.8, which is not currently in Software Update (look here) and, additionally, iTunes 4.8 only runs on OS 10.4, Tiger.
On another topic, another topic that I will patiently type out amidst my excitement, another topic that will cause me to lose more sleep tonight…
The room assignments for the fall semester were released. I got a single ::pause for composure purposes:: ::now dance::!! This will be a wonderful autumn. Plus, I know a specific person who will be leaving very close by. Yesssssss.
I can only assume that my sudden giddiness and late-night adrenaline, in regards to the mentioned events, is a result of the intense sleep depravity I am suffering from. It seems delirium can do wonders on our mental stability.
Hmm, now that I think about it, it may also be because of the Diet Coke I had today. Diet Coke con Splenda. I’ll be weary about those blue-capped Diet Cokes in the future. Make a note of it.

Awesome! Do you get the full music video? Gah, maybe I should have waited for a video iPod before rushing out to buy one.
Ah - I just noticed that my song is in your screenshot. Woohoo!

Stew - Wait?! Wait for an iPod?! That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! No one waits for an iPod! Just buy another one and pass along the first to a poor, unfortunate, non-iPod-owning soul. Oh, but I’m being histrionic; I’ll be among the first to get a new iPod if they release an iPod video.
Yes, it was the fully music video. And, yes, your song is in my iTunes; be proud.
Laken - Ditto; agreed; I concur.

Maybe I’m being pedantic, but don’t you mean “sleep deprivation”?
“Sleep depravity” would mean, perhaps, that you had some very evil dreams.

Thank you for the correction. I always appreciate a language kick-in-the-teeth. Ever since I read Eats, Shoots and Leaves, I’ve been violent about making sure I am being as properly articulate as possible.
However, if I wanted to respond to your remark in a witty manner, I would have said something like, “Leave it to blood to right me when I’m wrong” or “…show me my fault”. Or something like that…
