Here’s an exercise for all of you living in the Northern Hemisphere. First, picture houses, streets, shopping malls, basically the whole world all decked up in Christmas finery with fake pine trees with reds and gold baubles everywhere and Christmas lights and fake snow and roast dinners. All of it screaming out warmth and comfort from a harsh cold ( Read more... )

rants, music, movies

iTunes converts mp3s into it's special format, so it totally works. It also converts wma files as well.

Thanks

*Squints* Is that Karl Urban? On first look I thought it was David Tennant. *Fails*

If you like Karl Urban you have to track down The Price of Milk and Out of the Blue. The first is a fairytale and the second is true story of a massacre. They are both great kiwi movies.

Karl Urban was my first celebrity boyfriend. I've never seen the Price of Milk but I've heard much about it. Hmmmmm.

I read Children of Men when it first came out and I was very intrigued (P.D. James wrote it in a break from her Dagliesh mysteries) - it was beautifully written though perhaps a bit of a disappointment when compared to her other work. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

The interesting thing was that it was published in 1992 (I had to google it but I knew it was more than 10 years ago) so the book itself has no reference to Iraq or any particular set of current events.

The iPod will play mp3s without a problem (you don't need to convert them, although you can if you like) and they also play the format from iTunes. What they don't play is the DRM (digital rights management) version of WMA, so if you buy your music via subscription service from someplace like Napster or Rhapsody, those won't work.

I read on wikipiedia that it is very very loosely based on the novel. The screenwriters just used it as a starting point and then did their own thing, which is how all the modern stuff got in. I haven't read the novel myself it is now my “to read” list.

Thanks for the ipod help. I don’t have any subscription service wma so it shouldn't be a problem.
