I'm about ready to tear my hair out because Ticket Web is refusing to let me purchase tickets for the Frames + Josh Ritter concert that I'm dying to go to next Friday. Look, people, I know I put the right billing address in; I just called the bank about it earlier this week. I told Mark that I'll have to call the box office tomorrow and beg for the ability to reserve tickets--otherwise, I'll show up the night of the concert, be unable to get in, and I'll have to fall to my knees on the sidewalk with much loud lamenting of the sackcloth and ashes variety. No one wants that. It might freak out the customers.
On the other hand, that's what you get when you destroy the hopes of a student who has only just pulled through a horrific fortnight of midterms by dreaming of that one evening. Not that I've made it through that awful fortnight yet. The worst of the midterms is set for 8:30 tomorrow morning. That should be my signal to sign off and go to bed, methinks.
Sometimes listening to the last portion of A Caution to the Birds by The Frames is incredibly cathartic.
With a week full of midterms and too little motivation, I could use some catharsis. And some wassail.
Google is busy furthering the wonderful world of syndicated feeds by announcing Google Reader, a web-based feed aggregator today. Of course, Google doesn't use those terms; they're trying to appeal to users who aren't already familiar with the world of syndicated feeds. I'm pleased, though, because this may be an excellent way to introduce my parents to RSS/ATOM/RDF feeds. I've been toying with how to do that for awhile now, and, if I can point them to an easy-to-use product from a company they already know and like, I'm sure that will help.
