YAY! We just came back from Le Apple Store. The shipment of Tiger came yesterday so I was already using it, right. The iTunes Art screen saver is BOSS. I can sit and be hypmotized by it all day.
BUT! We went a little mental tonight to the tune of two PowerBooks and two iPods. And I already have one iPod! I love conspicuous consumption! Yay!
I got an iPod mini, 6GB. I NEEDED it. You have to have an iPod devoted just for compilations, see, otherwise when you scroll down the artists list your thumb hurts because there are so many artists who have only like one song. Singles oriented, albums oriented. It's simple really!
Can you tell I've thought about this for months?
I was trying to decide between the green and the pink and I finally settled on the pink because I like the new pink better than the new green. And then I can get one of those Acme Made mini cases in green leather to go with it, right.
I've thought about this for MONTHS!
The PowerBook was a bit of a surprise because I was just going to settle for an iBook eventually but I'm so bad with scrolling and I think the trackpad on PowerBooks is made for fumbly dyslexic people such as I. I can't just put one finger on the trackpad, that's WRONG. So when I try to use an iBook, the cursor just sits there and laughs at me.
But oh! The PowerBook! It's 12"! It's tiny and cute! It's got a SuperDrive even though I don't need it! It's got more RAM than my eMac! It's .33 Ghz faster than my eMac! Did I say it's cute?! It's still in a box and I want to go mess with it!
Then the fun part is the naming. I think I will name him Satellite of Love, because my eMac is named Crow (Crow II actually) and my storage drives are Servo and Gypsy because I am stupid. I was thinking of naming it Timmy after Crow's shadowy evil twin, but that just didn't seem right. My brother's name is Joel. Mike? No. Cambot is just misguided and Deep 13, that's for NERRRRRRRRRDS. Hahahaha irony.
My iPod, that is another case altogether. My big iPod is named Elliott so I needed to name this one after another beloved dead person, so I named him Ochs. Because he's PINK, GET IT?! Hahahahaha oh no that's really not funny. But I thought "Ochs!" and it sounded perfect and I love it.
And then we bought two 12-packs of beer and came home and I hope the Kings don't lose tonight.
Imagine me being able to sit in front of the TV and ramble like this all the time? I am going to be insufferable. YAY!

And how about your boy J-Will going off on that Memphis reporter? Classic!

J-Will's pen-grabbing isn't exactly gangsta like Jamal Tinsley with a dustpan, but it'll have to do.
