Win A Date With Tad Hamilton. I watched this tonight on Cinemax. The whole thing. I came to the following conclusions:
1. Topher Grace is very much the Anthony Michael Hall of this generation.
2. Topher Grace might actually pull off a transition to becoming a real actor (unlike AMH who need about 15 years of downtime before he was able to reinvent himself.)
3. Kate Bosworth is really pretty.
4. Any idiot can write a movie script.
5. I'm a total loser.
So I'm now fascinated with Torrents. My friend Filipino Freddie P aka Poptart showed me the magic of Azureus and the power of torrents. I'm not sure what the hell it is, or exactly how it works, but I am downloading music like a mother fucker as a result of it. In the past day and a half I have download the entire catalogues of Death Cab for Cutie and Rilo Kiley, Velvet Revolver, Neutral Milk Hotel, David Cross, Chevelle's new jawn, absolutely tons of shit. I'm listening to the new Eliot Smith CD now that I downloaded while Tad Hamilton was on.
It's a shame about Mr. Smith. I really liked him. It's weird when someone you admire and revere dies and then you hear them sing. I remember when I first learned Jeff Buckley died and I listened to Grace in bed in the dark. I was hard not to think of him drowning and get sad. I think I might be having a moment like that now with this Eliot CD. Talented artist are few and far between and they always seem destined for the grave. It's like their talent weighs them down until they can't go on anymore.
Onto brighter topics, I think I may have discovered that I am lactose intolerant! I know that doesn't sound like good news, but at least I can treat it. I bought some over the counter dairy aid shit and so far it appears to work. I'm going to continue to monitor what my body does with/without the aid to see if I'm correct. This could be the answer to my prayers. (Fingers crossed.)

Heh. Anthony Michael Hall.
As far as Azureus goes, be sure to download and install the safepeer plug-in. Basically, it makes sure you don't download music (or anything else) from someplace you shouldn't (the MPAA/RIAA's goons.)
The other thing about Azureus, you should note the little item on everything you download called share ratio. Basically, this is a meter denoting your good-Torrent-citizen-ness. If it's below 1.0, that means you've borrowed more than you've shared (for any particular file.) Wait until it's over 1.0 and that means you're sharing as much as you're borrowing. That's a good thing for the Torrent network. Which absolutely rocks.
