Oy. And Happy Thanksgiving. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on my friends list and beyond!

I thought I was getting better, but I seem to have backtracked a bit on the road to wellness. But I'm otherwise healthy, and I'm loved, so thanks for that. :-)

The universe doesn't hate me quite as much today. Still haven't seen the video, though not for lack of trying. Downloading was like sledding through frozen molasses last night, so I finally gave up. Went more quickly this morning (like sledding through *thawed* molasses), so yay! I now have the RealPlayer version and the ripped mpeg. The mpeg one won't play, so I'm now downloading the RealOne player, which was also downloading at the speed of negative none last night. It's zipping right along now, and I should have it downloaded in about twenty minutes.

JC Chasez, the crap I endure for you. grrrrrrrrr...

Videosity has been achieved. :-)

I'm thankful for JC Chasez. ::purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr::

What a sexy man he is. Should I be embarrassed that I adore him as much as I do? Because I do.

Love the video. I liked the song before, but the video really makes me love it. Loved the head shots of JC between action shots. I love watching him move around, not the dancing, just walking. JC prowling through the club, checking out the scene.

*So* glad this is the rap-less version, just because, JC! Who wants to see Dirt McGirt? Not me. Just lots of pretty, golden JC Chasez. The Carlos cameo made me smile. Someone spotted Rob Boldt, but I didn't catch him.

I wish we'd seen more of JC dancing, but overall, it's tons better than BMU. On a scale of one to infinity, the Some Girls video left BMU in the dirt.

And waaaah! I've only seen it once because we're getting ready to go over the river and through the woods to hang with my (computerless) father for the day! Aiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

Before I leave, here are my downloading and RealPlayer/RealOne notes for anyone else having the problems I did.

I ended up downloading RealOne because even the mpeg version of the video wouldn't play for me. I figured I'd rather download a new player than just the needed plug-in because it seems that with RealPlayer, there's always one more thing you need.

RealOne downloaded in about ten-fifteen minutes this morning which was waaay better than last night's attempt. Set up took another five minutes or so. After that, I clicked on the clip and it opened right up.

I've got to say that as much as I've hated all the versions of RealPlayer that I've downloaded over the years, I think I'm going to *love* RealOne. It's about 8Mgs, so if you've got the space, I recommend it. It plays just about all file types, according to the doc. And Some Girls was *way* worth the trouble. :-)

JC, I continue to be your devoted slave. Use me. Pleeeeze. ;-)

JC!
