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 :)
