Apple is thwarting me

owlbeerGMail: You're pre-order of "The Resistance" by Muse is ready to be downloaded.
Me: Yay! *runs to iTunes* *clicks prompts*
iTunes 9: You must have Safari 4.0.3 installed to run the iTunes Store ...
Me: Fuck *goes on install Safari 4.0.3* (I was still running the public beta for unknown reasons)
Safari installer: You must have OSX 10.5.7 to install Safari 4.0.3 ...
Me: Fuck.
Software Update: You must have 5.7G free space to update to OSX 10.5.7 ...
Me: *reaches for second HD muttering*
Moral of the story: Don't put off Software Update because you can't be bothered restarting your laptop and moving files to your second hard drive.
*sigh*
Why I am posting this instead of actually running Software Update I do not know.
Also, as a Muse related aside, due to a long tube ride to and from Hampstead and an interesting post at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ontd_muse, I listened to all of "Absolution" and "Black Holes and Revelations" in album order, and while there are some songs I love on BH&R, "Absolution" really is a much tighter, cohesive album experience. It's definitely my favourite. I worry that what I have listened to of "The Resistance" is more like BH&R than A. Ah well. I do like most of the songs I've heard so far.
And also to be fair, I rarely listen to a whole album in order. Usually it's just when I buy a new one for the first few listens. I prefer a more jumbled, haphazard approach to my music. Shuffle is my good, good friend. But after today's "Absolution" experience I might. It really was awesome.
ASkars aside: It's been confirmed he's definitely not going to the Emmys. *sigh* There will however be new True Blood when I wake up, so I guess that's something.
