Downloadin'

I downloaded a handful of songs off of MusicMatch last night, mostly all stuff that IMF and/or K-ROCK2 has been playing over the last few months. I've been putting together an "IMF Songs" playlist in the process. The only problem doing that is that most of the non-American songs are hella hard to find. That, and I'd have to do a switcheroo on the songs I'd get from iTunes (like the Lady Sovereign stuff), since it's in a different format (read: burn them onto cd, then create an mp3 of the song by way playing the cd through the Roxio program). Pain in the ass, but it works.

Also, Emm is most likely going to swipe the songs and put them on her mp3 player soon...

Songs I got:
Alkaline Trio, "Mercy Me"
Alkaline Trio, "Time to Waste"
Bloc Party, "Helicopter"
Bodyrockers, "The Way You Move"
Franz Ferdinand, "Do You Want To"
Morningwood, "Jetsetter" (requested by Emm)
Morningwood, "Nth Degree"
Motion City Soundtrack, "Everything Is Alright"
Rise Against, "Swing Life Away"
Sia, "Breathe Me"


Note to self:

Songs I should be downloading:
Hot Hot Heat, "Middle of Nowhere"
MIA, "Bucky Dun Gun" (it's one of those annoyingly catchy songs...)
Rihanna, "Hey Mr. DJ" (ditto)
The Streets, "Fit But You Know It"

Lynxie, any suggestions?


Songs NOT to download:
Fall Out Boy, "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
anything by Hawthorne Heights (*cringe*)
The Shout Out Louds, "The Comeback" (whiny Swedish Emo! w0000t!)

So far, so good...

So far my unofficial diet and other related changes in health are doing quite well. I've seriously cut down on soda drinking, and what soda I am drinking is actually diet or Fresca. Lynxie "accidentally" bought me a Diet Dew the other day, so that helps too. The only bad thing I've had so far is one of those Tasty Kake cookie bars today, the Candy Corn Soda From Hell last night, and a 3 Musketeers yesterday. Not bad considering the amount of sugar I usually consume. Now all I need to do is cut down on the sugar in the coffee!

And in other news, I got a refund from my car insurance place...apparently I had some money coming to me! This will definitely help, especially since I need a)to pay Emm for the SF plane fare, b)get the gas tank fixed before I sell the car (NOTE: this one depends on who I sell it to...if a garage gets it, then they can fix it themselves), and c)find out the remaining payoff for the car loan so I can get it paid off and get the title!

And this weekend I'm going up to Clean Sweep part of the house.

Yup, everything is running nicely right now... :)
