Mp3 Player Ambulance Needed!!!

My day has been ruined.

Totally, utterly ruined.


My mp3 player, a Creative Zen 8GB, just gave me the White Screen of Death. It turns on, plays music, works fine, EXCEPT THAT THE SCREEN IS COMPLETELY WHITE. I can't see anything!

I've tried everything, and my Zen is in the refrigerator now to see if one guy's solution of cooling it down makes it work temporarily. I've updated the firmware, pressed the reset button numerous times, tried the gazillion tricks there are on the Internet, and nothing.

Looks like I'm going to be stuck listening to Chicago (the last thing I listened to) for a while...

The worst thing is that many, many people are having problems with this mp3 player, which is really too bad because it is totally kick-butt when and if it works!

I can only hope Creative will give me my money back... Apparently, Apple will end up getting my money even though I dislike the monopoly they have on mp3 players... D:

Early Coldplay = Depression?

I just got done listening to one of Coldplay's earlier albums, A Rush of Blood to the Head, (It was their second album, as Wikipedia so readily informed me) and now I'm feeling slightly depressed and melancholy.

So, now the question comes up to my mind: does Coldplay lead to minor, temporary depression?!?!

@.@

Certainly, some of the songs (The Scientist (which has a rockin' awesome video) and Warning Sign) have kinda depressing lyrics and melodies. And considering I listened to both of those, it might explain my mood.

I guess studying about the Great Depression while listening to those songs might also contribute a bit to the "depression" factor...

But right now, I kinda feel that the world is just not going in the right direction...

Where's the LOVE?!?!
