Please don’t hate me

But this song is very catchy.

I’m purposefully linking to the audio-only version, because I happen to think that the music video for this song is distracting.

Please note that Tears of Moo will no longer be hosting sheet music files. All sheet music has been migrated to BrokenMusicBox.com, and Tears of Moo has been reclaimed as my own personal blog once again. Now, if only I can keep up with writing…

A Million Roses

There’s an old Latvian song that was later remade into a Russian song that was later done by a Korean singer and then redone by a Korean group with traditional instruments… called “A Million Roses”. It’s a very beautiful song. I’ve been listening to the Korean traditional version lately, which was done by a group called IS (Infinity of Sound). The song is here:

I don’t have a future in graphic design

I was trying to design a logo for Tears of Moo using the Sothink Logo Maker, which is some pretty interesting logo-making software. My thoughts were that I needed an eye-catching logo for the site, and hey, how hard can it be to make?

However, this is what I came up with:

Yeah… I clearly don’t have a future in graphic design.

Yeah, I tried to unsubscribe a bunch of times, but I haven’t been able to…

They have a plan

Just because the election’s over doesn’t mean that they aren’t still plotting!

I especially liked the “There are many copies” part.

A Transcript of My Conversation with Customer Service

meighan — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:32:48 +0000

Customer Service: Hello, thank you for choosing [company name], how may I help you?

Me: I’ve tried paying off one of my loans twice, but every time I do, it says I owe more because the interest keeps building. Now it says I owe $0.14.

CS: Okay, let me check… You owe [amount of all loans, not the one I specified].

Me: I’m only trying to pay off one of those loans. The private one. The one with $0.14.

CS: Okay, you can pay by sending a check to [company name].

Me: But… I already paid! I paid online and in the time it took to process the payment it gained more interest! Now it’s telling me to pay some more even though I paid off the amount already!

CS: You paid online?

Me: Yes!

CS: [pause] Your account is locked.

Me: ….Wait, what?

CS: I’m going to send you a new one-time password so you can access the account again.

Me: But… my account is not locked.

CS: Yes, your account is locked.

Me: Not, it’s not. I just signed in a few minutes ago.

CS: Your account is locked.

Me: What are you talking about?! It can’t be locked! I JUST SIGNED IN!

[this actually continues for a few more minutes]

CS: Oh, so you want to make a payment on your loan.

Me: I ALREADY MADE A PAYMENT! I PAID IT OFF and now it’s telling me I owe $0.14!

CS: You can make a payment online…

Me: I DON’T WANT TO MAKE A PAYMENT! I WANT YOU TO STOP IT FROM BUILDING INTEREST ON A DAILY BASIS SO THAT I CAN ACTUALLY PAY IT OFF!! I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY THE $0.14 AT ALL!

CS: [pause] That amount gets waived after 30 days.

Me: …What?

CS: You don’t have to pay the $0.14. It gets waived after 30 days.

Me: … Thank you. That was exactly what I wanted to know.

CS: Have a nice day.

"Champions for Higher Education"

meighan — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:37:17 +0000

I’ve been trying to pay off my private loan with the scholarships I’ve received. I say “try” because the loan gains interest on a daily— as opposed to monthly— basis. On top of that, payments take 2-4 days to process. I’ve already made payments twice, the first time thinking I had paid it all off, then again paying an additional $150. Now I owe $0.14. This is ridiculous. I tried paying over the amount of the loan to get over the daily interest thing, but guess what— they don’t allow payments over the current amount. How, then, are students expected to ever pay off their loans? Oh, that’s right— they aren’t.

I’m going to call tomorrow to complain. Not sure what good it will do me, but I may as well try.

Oh, and naturally, the loan company’s slogan is “Champions for Higher Education!” HA! More like “Champions of Extorting Students So They Remain Forever in Debt and Provide Us With a Constant and Reliable Source of Income!”
