I NEED IT!

Gawwd! I hate my stupid ipod. All it does is play music (borrring) it plays videos too but it takes FOREVER to load them on. Why can't I just have a new ipod touch or nano? Then I would be able to watch all the new youtube vids and I could turn my ipod SIDEWAYS! Plus I could get a song when ever I needed it because itunes is like built in to them.

Also the new nano comes in my favorite color CHROMATIC, which is SO more who I am than my stupid boring black ipod.

And how am I supposed to know what to listen to? The new ipods have a genius in them that tells you the songs that best go with the one you are currently listening to– my music will so suck with out THAT! I want my own genius to tell me what to listen to!

When I shake my ipod all it does is keep playing the same stupid song I was listening to in the first place, but when you shake the nano it AUTOMATICALLY shuffles to the next song! I have to look and find the stupid next button AND press it, and even then I better hope it's on shuffle or I'll have to go ALL the way back to the settings and set it to shuffle.

If I were to get the new ipod touch and the new nano my life would be SO much more easier. Then I could truly listen to my music the way I was meant to and the way Apple intended in the first place. Not the stupid way my dumb ipod forces me to listen. Gawwd! How does Apple so know what I need?

Today marks the deadline for budding filmmakers at UC Berkeley to submit their 5-minutes-or-less short to Campus MovieFest.

If you haven't heard about it, Campus Movie Fest is the largest student film festival IN THE WORLD. It all started about 7 years ago at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. A group of friends gave computers, camcorders and "training" to a bunch of students, had them make little shorts and then shared them with each other. Now a bunch of schools across the country are given Apple laptops equipped with iMovie and FinalCut Pro, digital camcorders and tripods, cell phones and 1 week to produce a short film about anything they want.

Winners get a shit load of prizes. And yeah, winning shit is cool, but what's even cooler about all this, is that thousands and thousands of original ideas get put out to the public. Stories get told. People get entertained. And no back-door deals, Hollywood budgets or politics are involved or necessary.

It's nice to get reminded, every once in a while, that creativity still exists and there are people out there who care enough to get it out there in the world. (Of course, PianoFight included.... by the way, have we mentioned our next wildly hilarious and entertaining and original and genius show is coming up this weekend? yup, thats right... get your tickets NOW and see you there)
