I got my iPad on Friday; stood in line for two hours at Washington Square, outside the Apple store with a bunch of other impatient nerds. I luckily also made friends with an elderly gentleman who asked his wife to run home to get a foldable chair for him. She ended up bringing two after calling her husband and having him suggest it. So I got to sit ( Read more... )

I don't really have much to post about, but I think I'm un-friends-only-ing this journal. I originally started locking things down because of stupid drama, but I think that's mostly over. I hope ( Read more... )

So I've got this big 36 inch Sony Trinitron TV in my back room that I really want to get rid of. I put it up on craigslist for 100 bucks, but if anybody here wants it, you can have it for free ( Read more... )

My car is currently covered with a half inch of ice and is sitting in a 3 foot snow drift.

Taking out the garbage was quite a challenge; there's a snow drift built up around our building's dumpster that comes up to my waist.

The landing just outside our apartment, which is under cove, has a foot of snow built up. Our balcony, which is also ( Read more... )

I've been fiddling with my music equipment again. I was determined to to streamline the process of playback and recording with my computer so that I could just sit down and be creative. I've started using Sony ACID music studio for recording and arranging, and I've FINALLY figured out how to use that stupid program properly. I've also learned some ( Read more... )

Dear George Lucas,
I just finished watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which I purchased in High Definition Blu-Ray disc format. I am quite a big fan of your movies, and particularly enjoyed the first three movies in the Indiana Jones series. I also very much enjoy the first three of the Star Wars movies, and have ( Read more... )
