will the dice ever roll? when will i ever know?i wasn't going to write anything tonight. not even when one of the few topics my best friend brought up during her mercifully short phone call today was lack of blog activity. but this was something i can't pass up.
the last few months i've been looking for a copy of trapt's lost realist, to no avail. i've tried my usual sources but wasn't successful with them. then the other day, i tried googling it - a desperate move not for the lazy. i tried it before with another song, and it was so tedious a task that i swore i would only do it again if i was desperate. which i was.
anyway, i was getting discouraged with all the russian characters that kept popping up in the google results, but i did manage to find an mpeg file - or so i thought. it was quicktime embedded in a page, and the parent directory was "forbidden". i'm just a hack, so i really don't know what to do with it. but later tonight (or is it early this morning? it's already past midnight) i got the brilliant idea to save the web page. and what do you know, even if the download was so quick it was disheartening, i read the file description and it looked like a regular mp3 file. whoopee! finally i got it! and it played properly!
the moral of the story is: if you want something bad enough, you have to think out of the box.
unfortunately for me, i'm just too darned lazy to do it.
song of the week: storm large, changes (originally by david bowie. anyone have this mp3?)
