I now have 781 songs on my iTunes! w00t! Even though most of them are Noel's songs, that's a vast improvement over the 40 something songs I had before - half of which were Halloween tunes. :-) I actually found a way to transfer these tunes directly from my iPod to my iTunes - check it out:
1. Plug in the iPod.
2. If iTunes doesn’t launch automatically, launch it.
3. If the music library on your iPod is not linked to iTunes’ music library (as would be the case when you’re restoring your music library from your iPod to a fresh copy of iTunes installed on a reformatted drive), iTunes will ask if you’d like to sync the contents of the iPod with the contents of the iTunes library. Click Cancel.
4. Select the iPod in iTunes’ Source list and make sure the Summary tab in iTunes 7’s main window is selected.
5. Enable the Manually Manage Music option as well as the Enable Disk Use option.
6. Double-click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop.
7. Locate your iPod in the window that appears and select it.
8. Choose Folder Options from the Tools menu in the My Computer window.
9. Click the View tab in the Folder Options window that appears.
10. Look for the Hidden Files and Folders entry. Below this entry enable the Show Hidden Files and Folders option and click Apply to reveal the hidden files.
11. Dismiss the Folder Options windows by clicking the OK button.
12. Double-click the iPod’s icon in the My Computer window.
13. You’ll discover that several more items now appear in the iPod window. Among them is a folder called iPod_Control.
14. Double-click the iPod_Control folder.
15. Inside the iPod_Control folder you’ll find a variety of folders. The one you care about is the Music folder.
16. Drag the Music folder to your Mac’s Desktop to copy it to your computer. As the name implies, this is where music is stored on the iPod.
17. Once the Music folder is on the Desktop, right-click on the folder, select Properties from the contextual menu, uncheck the Hidden option in the Attributes area of the General tab, and click Apply. In the Confirm Attributes Change window that appears make sure the Apply Changes to This Folder, Subfolders, and Files option is checked and click OK.
The folder and all the items in it are now visible and can be dragged into the iTunes library.
Note that although the music files bear a seemingly incomprehensible four-letter
title (AHLK.m4a, for example) when viewed outside of iTunes, their titles will
appear properly once you’ve brought them into iTunes.
If anyone has any Zep they can give me, PLEASE do. All I have is two tunes. :-/

Long Live Paula!
I have been a Paula Abdul fan every since her song "Straight Up" came out in '88. She is also one of the main reasons I watch American Idol. But until recently, I didn't know she was so warped...in a good way...

Movie Quotes From This Weekend
No, you're not hardcore...unless you live hardcore...and the legend of the rent was way hardcore.
All right, so I saw School of Rock in its entirety today. I've seen it in bits and pieces before and knew it was a great movie, but I can now say I truly appreciate it. I actually have a friend who works at the School of Rock in Philly, so that's all the more reason for me to like it. Here are a couple of my fav quotes:
Dewey Finn: Ok, here's the deal. I have a hangover. Who knows what that means?
Frankie: Doesn't that mean you're drunk?
Dewey Finn: No. It means I was drunk yesterday.
Mrs. Lemmons: Would you care to join us, Mr Schneebly
Dewey Finn: Yeah
Mrs. Lemmons: Did I say that correctly? "Schneebly"
Dewey Finn: Actually it's "Schnayblay"
Dewey Finn: God of Rock, thank you for this chance to kick ass. We are your humble servants. Please give us the power to blow people's minds with our high voltage rock. In your name we pray, Amen.
Amen.

Oh, and btw check out The Simpsons movie if you haven't already. Green Day's in it, too! A few of my fav parts:
Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day: "We’ve been playing for three hours now and would like to say a few words about the environment." (The crowd starts booing and pelting them with rubbish)
Cut to funeral at Springfield church. The music the organist is playing: American Idiot (Funeral Version). Hilarious.

To Blog or Not to Blog
To blog or not to blog - that is the question. Well, I've been on Myspace for the past 3 or so years, and have been tempted to use its blog feature - but basically, I thought it was lame and avoided it. So what finally prompted me to post a blog? Well, because I do have a lot of random and humorous thoughts which I feel like sharing every now and then. And I can't share funny videos and pics and stuff without actually posting them somewhere. Oh, and I'm getting off my addiction to Myspace (slowly, but surely), so I needed another outlet.
So, regarding the name of my blog - it just so happens that "pinkbunny," "pink-bunny," "pinkcow," and "pink-cow" were ALL taken. Yeah, I know - bummer. And considering I just bought the domain name "www.pink-cow.com," I wanted to stay with the theme "pink cow." So, alas, http://little-pink-cow.blogspot.com was born. :-D
I shall post more a little later.
