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!
I don't understand how Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise can be dating when she's like twice as tall as he is.
Oh my God!
Here it is ... again ... and it's called ... 1-2-
J-WILL HAIR WATCH 3000
You simply can't go wrong with the classics.
Where on earth (or elsewhere) this new move come from, though.
STARAOKE TONIGHT OMG WHAT HAPPENED
"Couldn't Get It Right" (Climax Blues Band)
"Hold on Loosely" (.38 Special)
"No Matter What" (Badfinger)
"Go All the Way" (the Raspberries)
I am awesome (clap clap clap-clap-clap) also LOTS AND LOTS OF BEER BEER BEER BEER BEER DRINK TICKETS BEER YAY
I was listening to the Figgs all day so I think that was sufficient inspiration. Did you know Slow Charm is an excellent album? It truly is.
Also Chris did a rendition of "Human Beings" IN THE STYLE OF SEAL that brought the house DOWN. DOWN DOWN DOOOOOOOOOWN. THAT'S RIGHT
So much more awesome than the "Idol." I'm telling you.
Also "Vehicle" was in the book which we briefly considered doing because you know it would have been better than Bo Bice a.k.a. Bo BUTT.
We need to start practicing all the songs with "Jane" in the title, we have decided. And the entire Bob Seger catalogue. Also this one dude who is there every day but I still don't know his name because of the pseudonyms? He did "Lady" and I was a little upset that I didn't get to do it first. It was pretty awesome, though. That should just inspire me to do it awesomer.
I have to go to work so I should stopr I mean stop right now and go to bed.
I have a bad feeling about April 20, but I'd like the world to prove me wrong.
Love,
Kim!
Holy OMG, we went to Staraoke tonight? WHATEVER DID I DO
"Accidents Will Happen" (Elvis Costello etc.)
"Reelin' in the Years" (Steely etc.)
"We're an American Band" (Grand Funk etc.)
One of these I did for the first time. DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS?!
Have you seen the movie "Groupie"? If you have or you haven't you should tell me, because I got it on the DVD and it is fascinating.
Hahahah Bo Bice, who I like to call Bo Butt, hahahahaha suck it~~~~~~
I got Georgie Fame's 20 Beat Classics and Alan Price's A Price on His Head and they're like my new favorite albums. Thank you Germans! You know how to reissue.
I also got the Fantomas special edition CD with the calendar. Which if someone were to ask me what my record store purchases say about me, it would clearly be "I am a sucker."
I tend to babble when I've been drinking.
Work tomorrow? Oh man. NEWS, why can't you STOP HAPPENING.
Love,
Kim!
P.S. the new pair of shoes? Choco cupcake brown Lilly Pulitzer slip-on backless loafers with hot pink trim, 70% off at Saks off Fifth -- F-I-F Fifth -- they're moccasiny delicious.
I need to go to sleep now.
Hahaha! So I went to leave a comment in that last post and it told me I was not allowed to leave comments, right, and I was all like "what" so then I looked and realized I had totally done something to ban all IPs from commenting like totally by accident back when I was getting a bunch of comment spam. Now I'm about as dumb as Einstein! Way to go Einstein. Yeah, it's fixed now.
