Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard

[vovat]

Last night, I was flipping through radio stations, and I came across a weird commercial on a religious station. It was playing these cartoon sound effects in the background and the voiceover went something like, "Cartoons can do all kinds of crazy things and not get hurt. We're not like that. Some people think they have cartoon souls. But there are a lot of things that can really damage your soul for a long time. Read the Bible to find out more."

I put in an application for an absentee ballot. They said they should be sending those out around the end of September. After that (applying for the ballot, that is, not the end of September), I went looking for a binder to hold my papers. I checked Kmart first, but they didn't seem to have much aside from those cloth-covered portfolios, which are probably more durable than the Trapper Keeper types of binders that I used back when I was in school, but I'm sure they're also more expensive. I found something that was more like what I was looking for at Eckerd.

I wonder if people are sick of reading paragraphs like that last one. I mean, I'm hardly the only one to go into minute detail in my journal, but does anyone actually want to read it?

Finally, Ashlee Simpson is a worse singer than her sister, and that's saying a lot. Where do they dig up all those dumbass "singers," and do all of them have relatives who want to ride their coattails to fame?

For some reason Xian media holds some sort of bizarre interest for me, as you probably figured from my occasional posts about watching TBN early in the morning when they've got the hilariously bad and creepy kids shows. (I think it might be because my mother forbid me to watch them when I was growing up...)

Also, those sorts of paragraphs don't bother me, but then again, I'm a pretty big offender in that sorta thing.

Also, that is kind of sad that apparently not even ProTools can fix her. Unless you saw a live concert type thing on TV or something, in which case, y'know, that'd explain it.

Well, what bugs me about the manufactured "singers" isn't so much that they (or their digitized voices, anyway) can't keep in tune or whatever, so much as that their voices are rather dull and unappealing, and sometimes downright annoying.

Yeah, that's kind of the main problem with ProTools is that it can't get rid of the Suck. It can make it so they can hit the notes, but they can't make them Not Suck Totally. (Although, part of the problem is ProTools itself, so go fig.)
