My iPod is Limping

I think my iPod is on its last legs. I have had it for around 3+ years now and I think it has served its useful life. Day by day it is playing music, but only out of one ear. So, slowly I am going deaf in only one ear. I guess that’s a good thing, right?

The hard drive in it appears to be working just fine and I’ll probably use it to backup my photos or something, but the sound it outputs is really starting to drive me mad. The headphone jack is all screwed up. I have to fiddle with it to get sound out of both ears, but sustaining that is nothing short of a challenge. Now, the probelm is that I just got a new camera… so I might have to wait a while for this little guy.

I guess until then I’ll just alternate ears every day. That way I’ll go deaf evenly.

Graduation Weekend

Well, it’s been quite a weekend, to say the least. I decided to have my weekend start a little early by taking Friday off. I thought that I should at least take the day off since my Dad was coming into town on Thursday night. But, that night was only the beginning of a whirlwind weekend of fun stuff to do.

At Least I Waited 8 Days

Ok, so, I couldn’t wait all 30 days to rid my site of the legacy linking. I decided to take care of it today with some .htaccess rules. But, have no fear, you shouldn’t see a change in the way things are going on around here. However, the old permalinks with /blog in them will still be broken until I go ahead and fix them.

In the meantime, I would love you if your links pointed as follows:

Super Size Me

Super Size MeThe other day I watched Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me at the suggestion of my roommate. I also decided to watch it because I have been seeing advertisements for a show that FX is doing titled 30 days, which looks to be really good.

While I was watching the movie I couldn’t feel too bad about what I was seeing. I guess, to me, I realize that fast foot is really like convenience food and probably not the most healthy option for your body. However, we all end up eating it at one point or another; either out of habit or for the quick fix for some food. But, while watching this film I couldn’t feel anything but disgusted with what I saw. In only 30 days of eating McDonald’s food 3 times a day (and only super sizing when asked) he gained roughly 20 pounds. He also consumed roughly 8 pounds of sugar. That’s just crazy!

Now, I enjoy fast food on the rare occasions that I eat it, but watching this movie made me think again about how this food can affect you. Of course, this varies for everyone. If you are really curious about how fast food is effecting America I would seriously suggest that you watch this film. It was put together very well and had little to no bias in it, in my opinion. He just shows you what it was like for a very healthy male to go out and eat McDonald’s for 90 meals straight.
