Ripping audio from YouTube...

I tried to rip the audio from a few youtube videos today. One worked, the other three didn't. Any idea why?

I was using vixy.net, if that helps?

[Update: Tried listentoyoutube.net vidtomp3.com. The ads are a pain, but it works.]

I don't believe this....

There was a due South fan convention (RCW 139) that ran for a couple of years in the late 90s during the last half of the series, and a couple years after. It revived in 2008, and is scheduled again for this year, August 13-15, 2010 in Toronto.

And I'd just been saying how I'd love to take a road trip to Canada.

Still, I think I'd rather go to a hockey game in Montreal or Toronto than not -- and August is smack in the middle of the off-season. =(

Okay, ALSO, OMG -- there's this awesome band called Great Big Sea who does folk-rock, mostly covers of sea shanties. I heard one of their songs last year, The Mermaid, and absolutely DIED over it (I have to buy/dl more of their stuff). I JUST discovered that The Mermaid was originally written AND RECORDED by Shel Silverstein in 1965 and published in Playboy in 1966 -- which maybe gives you an idea of the (subtle) direction of this particular song...

Shel Silverstein!

How freaking awesome is that?!

High-energy memory.

Gave myself a big ol' tension headache from that damn NYR v NJ game. Ugh.

It was a fucking amazing game, with both Brodeur and Lungfist getting shutouts. Unfortunately, Elias was the only one to score, in the last round of the shoot-out.

I really hate shootouts: they're a lot of fun to watch, but I just think that they're a bad way to decide the winner of a game. Inaccurate representation, you know? Give me a (as @Section518 said) tie from the good old days.

Anyway, it's been over an hour now, and my headache hasn't gone away yet.

=(



Also, I should probably find a couple of more current NYR icons...
