Problems with Real Player and Nsync on The View

Anyone know anything about Real Player? Apart from that its a tool of the devil etc etc? It suddenly stopped working a day or two ago, and I haven't installed anything or changed anything on the computer that I can think of. When you clicked on files associated with it, they just wouldn't open, but would work fine through another player. My sister went to uninstall it and reinstall, and the uninstall component was missing. So she installed a newer one, but the uninstall component is still missing and it still won't work. Any suggestions? ETA: after much googling, kinda-uninstalling and reinstalling, bitching to people, dad fiddling with the registry, it's working again. YAY! Though it's still evil of course.

Please don't direct link to the files, link to my journal on message boards or communities, and please right click and save (or equivalent). I always appreciate comments if you've downloaded :)

The JC birthday files and McKay clips from Atlantis are coming down by the end of the month.

I did the icon pairing meme yesterday, and lo, it was funny. But I lost the results and couldn't be bothered to do it again. Though sadly, I can't remember who they were paired with, but I didn't end up with Brian Kinney/Brian Littrell. Though I may have got Justin Taylor/Justin Timberlake...

Rick!

The tribute on the Much Music website to Rick Campanelli is great. Pictures (including with JC and Nick), videos and tributes from other VJs.

Crying softly at our keyboards, we whipped up a fond farewell to say good-bye to the NICEST VJ EVER.

My favourite thing is probably in the message from Amanda Walsh:
How can one even begin to tell just one good Rick story? There are so many to choose from..boyband friendships, height jokes, being put in a garbage can by (insert celebrity name here)...But I'm gonna move away from the celebs to the Rick-isms that make him The Franchise everyone loves:
3. He remembers everyone's name, especially if their name is Howie D.
5. The hand gestures: 9 long years, and no one has lost an eye.
Much is gonna miss you. Thank god I have my Campanelli action figure.

This icon has never been more appropriate.

Off to my aunt and uncle's place, to say goodbye to my cousin A and his wife. They're going to work in the UK for a couple of years, I'm a bit jealous. But as much as I love my family, I wish this wasn't the only social outing I have planned for the weekend. Didn't do anything last weekend cause I was still a bit sick, and needed to study, bah.
