So I signed up for one of those columbia house deals. Oh don’t get all self-righteous: you’ve all done something just like it — life is sort of pissing you off, and your feeling the “three weekends on the same paycheck” crunch, so you go buy something stupid just to prove you can — to shake your checkbook at the gods.

I got initial ‘free’ music in the mail yesterday. It’s been a long while since I’ve made a major music purchase, so I was pretty psyched about this one. Here’s some of what we got:

• Chalie’s Angels Soundtrack (now in the Boy’s room).
  
• Some cranberries album (Bury the Hatchet, now in Jackie’s vehicle).
  
• The coors, which I’m pretty sure is destined for Jackie-car-status.
  
• A couple eve6 albums (the new one with the anime girl on the cover, and the one with all the songs you know on it)
  
• Marvin Gaye’s What’s going on
  
• Sarah McLachlan’s mirrorball (replacing the copy I left with my mom)
  
• Dave Matthews’ crash — far be it from me to buy something when it’s new: I’m too ‘hip’ (the kids still say hip, right?)
  
• moby songs
  
• Saliva, whose vocals alternate between sounding like Tears for Fears and Korn. Weird.
  
• staind - earlier album where they don’t play so damn slow
  
• third eye blind - blue — a band, like eve6, I’ve been meaning to get more of for a long time

Also picked up dvd’s of requiem for a dream, bagger vance (shut up, golf is fun), seven (platinum series — newline kicks ass) and the blade runner director’s cut (I am rachael, after all).

Two things that are pissing me off.
1. ‘PC-enchanced music cds’ mean it’s goddamned impossible to LISTEN to the music on a PC. I CAN’T FIND THE MUSIC TRACKS on the third eye blind cd… it’s just an executable that links to their production website. Lame.
2. What. the. HELL. are those security seals on DVD’s meant to accomplish, other than raise my blood pressure? Those should be one of the things the store staff helpfully remove when you buy it.
