Mystery Girl and Apple Computers

Alright, today's entry is about two topics...Apple Computers and the Mystery Girl (Katy). But which to start with....hm....

Ok computers first. Now a few entries ago I had talked about buying a Mac and at the time I thought it sounded like a good idea. Well it was....just misguided. Instead of buying a Mac mini which is worth about $500, I will be buying an Apple 12" iBook which is their low end laptop Now why you ask am I getting a laptop? First of all I am the most unorganized person when it comes to school I've ever seen. Joseph can testify to my giant stack of papers that use to pile up beside my desk every semester. I am also t ired of writing my notes every damn day. Its 2005, no one should have to write much of anything any more in this day an age and you know what, I wont have to either now. Instead of having multiple spirals, one for each class, I will simply have my notes on my laptop which I can take anywhere... to kharma perhaps...and read them there. Second, and most important, I want a way to crea te music on the fly. Im tired of being somewhere and hear something in my head of finding an idea and not being able to do something with it. With my iBook comes a program called GarageBand. Imagine this as a most bad ass music creating program that comes with all Macs now. This program will allow me at any time, to put down what I have thought of. Or lets say Im hanging out with Travis or the band and want to quickly record what we have just played to hear what it sounds like, I can quickly record a track on to the computer, add in built in loops of all kinds of intstruments over it, and hear what the song might sound like. I can do the same thing if Nicholas ever wants to jam sometime. I will be uping the hard drive to 100gigs and eventualy buying a gig of third party ram. The final price for all this is.... $1,039, which means I will need to save $1,139 to cover the cost of taxes. Its free shipping because I am a student :) In my estimates, it will take me until about the end of September to save up, order, and recieve this so until then I will go to work every day and never go home early or take a day off. Ok on to topic two, Mystery Girl (katy)

A few weeks ago, I started to see this girl in Kharma every day....no really....every day. She comes in around 4pm, sits at a table by her self, puts head phones on and begins to write in the same spiral notebook. After weeks of not wanting to disturb her for fear of her being like, "Hey im busy so fuck off," I decided to take the plunge and interupt her anyway. On Tuesday, I went up to her table and asked, "hey can I sit here for a second?" To which she replied soothingly, "Im sorry, Im really working on this story." I said, "Well I've seen you in here everyday for like 3 weeks and I've wanted to come say hi but you always looked busy so today I just said well I might as well go find out what your name was so I can be like 'hey thats so and so.'" She laughed (always good) and said her name was Katy. She has long brown hair, frekles, really cute legs and a great smile. Anyway, that was about all I said because I didn't want to intrude any more than I already had so I told her I'd let her get back and said see ya around. Im pretty sure I had a retarded grin on my face the whole time...oh well. The next day, as usual, she came in just as i was going out and she was looking for an ash tray so I let her have the one at my table. Today, she was in there....again....but I did not try to say hi. She did tell me to try to catch her when she wasnt writing so perhaps one day I'll catch her on an off moment and say hi again and get to know her. So thats the story of Mystery Girl....and my new iBook :)

Wisdom Teeth and a sighting...

Yea I know it's been a while since my last entry but whatever. So lets see, I got my wisdom teeth pulled so I'm still recovering from that. I apparently have something called "Dry Socket" which means the hole didn't cover completly so now I have an exposed nerve and it hurts really bad. I will be ordering my Mac Mini sometime towards to middle or end of August. After about two days of budgeting and planning I figured I will have enough to buy the middle version of the mini. I got to play piano for Lili over in Crumely the other day which was awesome. The reason I started to learn piano was so I could play for people so whenever I get the chance to play for someone I take it. Joseph from work has moved in with me temporarily. He didn't have a place to stay and I didn't want him living in his van for a few weeks, so I offered him our empty room. Our cat got hit by a car last weekend so today we got a new one. Its a cute little kitten and I'm sure we will have tons of "fun" with this one. No name has been picked yet but I'm leaning towards Mega Man. On a minor note, I went to a small get together of friends tonight where my lovely ex girlfriend was there. Luckily Brendan didn't want to stay long so I left with him after about 30min of making happy talk. It doesn't bother me that she was there, just more annoying I suppose, but you deal with it and move on....whatever. I've been seeing more of Travis lately which is kinda cool. Since he isn't to wound up in his classes this semester he has more time to hang out. We usualy just watch a movie or go get some food but hey, thats what I miss doing ya know? Just hanging out late at night and talking about things. We were always really good at that when we lived in Bruce. I went to Beth Maries tonight to go see Lili and Amber. Since I dont eat ice cream I just got cookies and a water. I'm probably the only person they know who will go to an Ice Cream parlor and not ever get ice cream. Work still sucks. Life is better than I thought it was. School is coming soon. I miss my family. Oh Brandon got married last weekend and I caught the garder....again. I wasn't surprised that I caught it but I think Brandon was. You know most guys who catch it are like crap, i dont want a chick but I'm like, damn it I've caught this 5 times in my life and I'm still fucking single! I guess thats irony for you though. Well alright, time to go watch Brendan kill some people on battlefield 2.

A long talk with the wise Brothers

So this weekend I went home and finally got to see both of my brothers at the same time! We saw Willy Wonka and the best part was that I actualy got Nicholas to come up here and hang out with me in Khmara!! WOO HOO! Finally after me sitting in there day after day and listening to all the old guys talk about my brother and ask when he is coming back, I got him in there for coffee. It was certainly a fun time. We just sat and talked for over an hour like we normally do about all kinds of stuff. Ok ok....mostly about music and girls. But come on, what else are we going to talk about? We are two young adult guys, is there anything else to talk about?? Nicholas also got a car this weekend which means he SHOULD be able to come up here and hang out sometime. He needs to get his guitar gear up here and we are gonna rock out hard core style. Man its been years since the last time we jammed and I miss it greatly. I mean playing with my band is awesome dont get me wrong, but its my bother, and there is nothing like rocking out with your brother. So until we meet again bro, keep rocking out and my drums are waiting for you.
