Hi, my name is Rusalka, and I have an anger problem.

Stevan is there because he would have kicked up a stink had I been credited and not him. Also, I like Stevan.

Yes, and right now it's probably a LOT awesomer than yours.

I was especially pissed off because I've had a run of bad luck with technology recently... 1. I'm on dial-up and can't get broadband, meaning I can't play the Psychonauts demo yet.2. Our shower packed up and left us on FRIDAY (meaning we didn't have it all weekend since nobody would come out to repair it), and until we have it repaired washing is very uncomfortable. 3. MP3 player. 4. My phone has been slow and sluggish since I bought it, and I was told that it would be away for nearly six weeks being repaired. Since I need my phone for quite important reasons other than socialising, I can't not have it that long, and so will have to put up with it. 5. My computer has fallen woefully behind in every way possible. 6. Sony Copyright Goddamn Protection. 7. My expensive and beautiful Yamaha keyboard broke down a few weeks ago, and is now connected permanently to it's own power lead through an intricate jungle of interconnected wires or some shit. Basically, it's on it's last legs and I need a new keyboard. I have my eye on a sexy Casio one, but I'm afraid it will explode. 8. A customer yelled at me on Sunday afternoon because Epson stopped manufactering cartridges for his printer. 9. My Mom's computer needs a new modem since the old one broke down. 10. My Silver Pen ran out of silver. See? Technology has turned it's back on me. I have reason to be angry.

JESUS HELL CHRIST, IT JUST WENT ON. I took out the battery and licked it. I'm actually not joking. I must have 'turned it on', HA HA HA!!! I'm delighted! I'm delighted beyond my wildest dreams! Ha ha, next time a customer comes into PC world and complains that their Zen won't turn on, I shall lick their battery too! What the hell?! It wouldn't even charge, and then I tasted the battery? Maybe I should try that with my phone, which has been acting dumb for the past year. Hee hee ha ha hee!!! But I am confused. It died very suddenly, and there doesn't seem to be any real explanation as to why it came back on... I'd already tried removing the battery several times... even messaging it. Oh, look, never mind. Somebody delete this thread? I don't ever want to be reminded again that I can get this angry. Hey, why do I deserve it? There isn't illegal music on it, if that's what you mean.

Primal instincts urging me to smash MP3 player against wall, or smack sharply against knee. Common sense coaxingly telling me to preserve it as evidence for manufacturers warranty. Primal insticts winning. Winning. Winning. Anger turns to denial. Attempt to turn MP3 player on. Nothing happening. Anger turns to emotion. Tears welling in eyes. Primal instincts fade. Emotions take over. Collapse. Emotion does not lead to acceptance. Still not leading to acceptance. Primal insticts return, urging me to bite/taste MP3 player. Tastes vaguely of Duran Duran.

I wish I was dead.

You all have your retarded face smilies, and now I have mine.

EDIT: Uh... I just posted this in completely the wrong thread. So I guess... quit?

So I buy Duran Duran's Astronaut, and once I've seen all the great extras that come with it, I go to rip it to my PC so I can put it on my Zen and listen to it on the go. Oh, wait, copy protection. No matter how I rip it from the CD, it messes up the darn song. I feel like I'm trying to do something illegal. I feel frustrated. Damn it, I legally purchased their album and I feel like a budding criminal! All I want is to listen to the music I legally fucking purchased!!! My frustration at not being able to listen to my own music has tempted me to download the music I've already bought, in order to put that on to my MP3 player even if I can't get it off the CD. I've resisted so far, simply because Duran Duran are probably the sort of fuckers that would do me for downloading their music. Even if I already own it... which makes it legal or something. I don't know. Fuck everything to HELL, especially Simon LeBon. Furthermore, why the fuck is Nick Rhodes holding a guitar in the booklet to this album???!

Oh how I love Duran Duran.

I don't understand what you are trying to insinuate.

Jade is an extremely kickass female character that I find easy to connect with. She appeals to male and female alike. Lara... the new redesign... is still crap. I don't like the style. She has bizarre legs and knees, and a ridiculous waist. Her clothes are pathetic. She is instantly forgettable.

That is pretty much exactly what I sound like when I get angry in person, since I can never think of enough angry non-swear words to express myself. Well, not fast enough, anyway. I've often come away after exploding in anger, wishing I'd said 'dismayed' instead of 'shit-bitch whore', or 'why?' instead of 'What fuck be your shit, fucker?' Also, I'd like to add that my previous statement about Duran Duran being a has-been band of the 80's is false. I said it out of anger. Man, some of their best hits were in the late 90's and on their newest album. I believe I've already gushed feverishly about Astronaut... well, Medazzaland was possibly my favourite album of all time. Remember Electric Barbarella? Kickass song! Medazzaland and So Long, Suicide? And the very very awesome Out Of My Mind. So Duran Duran are definitely not a has-been band. They have consistently released awesomenessity. Goddamn hot shit yeah!

Ahhhhhh, I want Irish Tour Dates so frikkin' badly. They're going to Iceland, and not Ireland?! Maybe they made a typo? English bastards!

I guess that sometimes, because we use the internet so much, most of us have become used to the tragic level of stupidity to be found online. My Dad decided to try ripping my Duran Duran album onto his PC, convinced I was just too dumb and was missing something. He didn't get any further than I had, but he searched for a solution online. "Found it!" he exclaimed happily. "Here's somebody with the same problem! Let's see... aha! This guy says, 'simply rename the file, giving it an .MP3 extension instead of the sony extension, and it will play fine!' Ha ha!" "That sounds too simple." I said dubiously. "Oh, yeah, wait... here's another guy. He says..." My Dad leaned closer to the monitor and squinted his eyes, " 'U R stupid'. Although he doesn't offer any explanation as to why... ah, here's some more... 'When will people learn to stop buying Microsoft to... put... on their... stupid... craputers...'." And, honest to God, as he said 'craputers', he backed away slowly from the monitor without taking his eyes from that last word. I think we have become desensitized to the level of stupidity prevalent online.

I used Audiograbber and this LAME.dll thing, which I have no idea what is, and booted up in Safe Mode to rip the tracks from CD, as suggested on the site that Ys linked to. Delicious!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! I'M LISTENING TO THE ALBUM ON MY MP3 PLAYER, RIGHT NOW!!! Take that, Sony Copy Protection! Take that, CRAPUTER!!! Take that, WORLD!!!! Man, I'm so happy, I feel exhilarated! I'm so full of joy, I don't even care about those two weird girls that I've never met before in my LIFE, threaten to murder me every time I get on the bus home!!! It just doesn't matter any more! Because as they senselessly beat me to death with my own shoes, at least I shall die listening to track number 3, What Happens Tomorrow!!!

Thanks Ys!!! I agree with this sentiment... that's pretty much what I felt like doing, except my ridiculous loyalty to a has-been band of the 80's made me continue my struggle to fuck up Sony's copy protection and share this with fellow Duran fans instead. It's a good album, Erwin. You really should buy it as well as download it.

Yes I know they are old. I guess nobody caught my sarcasm. I also grew up listening to Duran Duran. My Parents had a lot of their stuff, and I followed them through from the 80's right through the times when only Nick and Simon remained, and now. Okay, so I'm a little late to buy their new album, but cut me a break! You should pick up the limited edition release of Astronaut. It's good. Some of the songs are, unfortunately, forgettable. However, Reach up For the Sunrise and Want you more are both excellent, upbeat tracks (Want You More reminds me very much of the Scissor Sisters), and What Happens Tomorrow is probably my favourite track. Astronaut is good, although Bedroom Toys is just plain hilarious... I'm not quite sure if they meant it to be, but hearing Simon LeBon drone 'oh my god what's this' when he finds sex toys in his girlfriends bedroom is just priceless. In an awful way, though. Nice is great, and reminds me of their earlier stuff. The other tracks are fairly mediocre, and usually if I'm actively listening I'll skip back to the beginning. Sunrise, Want you More and What Happens Tomorrow are definitely the best on the album though. For me. Uhhh, although that album SUCKS, so you probably shouldn't buy it! SINCE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT. Random Trivia: I read somewhere that Nick is a Mac user.

I think you may have misinterpreted the intent of the post. I'll say it again: Nick Rhodes still looks young and pretty! Although partly that can be attributed to his foundation, blusher, lipstick and gloss, eyeshadow, mascara and luscious blonde hair.

Duran Duran are awesome!!! Shut up your face!!! And Nick Rhodes still looks young and pretty! Although partly that can be attributed to his foundation, blusher, lipstick and gloss, eyeshadow, mascara and luscious blonde hair.
