Am I the ONLY one insanely disturbed and kind of disgusted by this ad?
So these trees/bushes are representing the trim of these girls bikini lines? Ew! First of all advertising that info to the world every time I walk by shrubbery sounds rather yucky to me. Imagine if a hippie girl walked past a bush and i turned into a jungle! Blegh!
I really care about the world and the environment and I am really disappointed in you. If you are going to drink on the sidewalk outside of the library, please finish the contents of the bottle and recycle it after you scrape yourself off the sidewalk in the morning.
Mollie and I went to the Golden Doughnut (Movie coming soon) to order a doughnut. I rushed home after eating a crappy burger to make and post my movie. I turned on my mac and got the evil question mark folder flashing.
I tried everything! I tried the start up disc, reseting the parameter, reseating the HD, single user mode, and well everything. At that point I accepted the fact that my HD was completely dead. I accepted that I had lost all my data. You know all the stages of my digital grief had been gone through.
I was too cocky and I should have backed up my stuff! After not having a single issue for three years you get too comfortable sometimes you know?
So I called the Apple store and set up an appointment with a genius fearing I would have to use my iPhone savings for a new Macbook or iMac. I know that’s windows mentality to replace the machine when there is a failure but the thought was prominent in my mind.
The whole day in between the crash and my genius bar appointment I was questioning my Apple Elitist ways. Was I wrong? Were they not a superior product? Were they actually going to let me down?!
So Wednesday night I packed up my lappy and made my way to the nearest Apple store and when I walked up to the genius I told him my issues and the trouble shooting I had already done and that I had already accepted my data loss.
The friendly genius said, “Well we can put in a new HD here for $100 or you can go to a third party and get one with more room.”
Of course desperate to have my lappy healthy once again I asked him if he could replace the HD right away and he didn’t think there was enough time before closing. Then he went into the back for a moment and came out with papers for me to sign saying he could get it done.
BUT WAIT!!! THAT’S NOT THE AMAZING PART!!!
I was more than happy to get the surgery done on my dear dear lappy so I told him I needed to go to the bank quickly and transfer the money to my account and he said, “Don’t worry about it I will just do it for you and I will fix your cracked casing.”
What?! Really?! My Macbook is long out of warranty!
Then he asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the newest OS, iLife 09, and iWork 09 and of course I did.
So after waiting around an hour or so and playing in the Apple store (which led me to a longer list of Apple things to save for LOL) I got my dear lappy back and made my way home…
Oh… My… God…
So I opened my laptop and not only did he replace the casing but also the keyboard (remember the F6 button video?) and the mouse!!! My Macbook looks brand new!!!!
Then I pressed the power button and danced around to the Leopard welcome music and video. I was so happy to have my lappy not only working but better than ever.
I have only skimmed the surface of the new OS X Leopard and I am already floored.
I can Green Screen! I can do just about anything with iMovie 09!!! The advanced editing options are friggin’ AMAZING!!! Of course I still will grow out of them rather quickly I am sure and move on to Final Cut when I get my new iMac.
My data loss was rather minimal as well seeing as how my 120 gig iPod has all my music on it and uploading it back onto iTunes wasn’t too painless and most of my pictures are stored on my FTP. I do need Creative Suite though
Oh! Oh! Also my coworker is going to sell me his new Macpro for $500!
The Apple gods are shining down on me!!!!!
On another note here is a movie I made from random footage on my camera while I was hanging out at Starbucks this evening…
So we have gone over the chase and the catch. We have covered what to do beyond the second date.
Maybe now I’m thinking we need track back a bit to go over how to get past the first conversation.
Now don’t get me wrong I LOVE men but… seriously… sometimes… it’s just like… I want to ask them if they have had head trauma in the past 48 hours.
No matter how you start talking to a girl be it at a coffee shop, bar, work, the gym, book store, or even the internet. You need to conduct your self so you don’t come across as a loser automatically. Let her find out AFTER you get her trapped in committed relationship.
A lot of us ladies react heavily on vibes and how we feel when we first start talking to a person. If you want respect from a woman or her to have interest in you beyond your pants you need to avoid the following SINS like the PLAGUE!
No Judging! Don’t judge the girl (out loud), don’t judge the guy sitting across the table, don’t judge a celebrity, don’t judge your family, your boss, DON’T JUDGE ANYTHING It’s cool that you have an opinion but when you go around spewing your judgement like word vomit the minute you meet someone, most likely they will think you are judgemental and lose interest very quickly.
Name Dropping No girl likes a guy who constantly talks about who he knows, who he has met, and who he is obsessed with. We probably wont believe you anyway even if it’s true. People who actually know important people tend to think it’s no big deal. Someone who saw Jessica Simpson from across a crowded restaurant as she walked into the VIP room is often the person who proclaims they “know” her during the first 15 min of your first conversation with them. No girl wants to feel like she is being lied to.
Party Aminals! “Where do you party?” “Where do you drink?” “What clubs do you go to?” Ok this is no way to start off getting to know someone. What goes on in a girls mind when she hears those sentences? What goes on in your mind when that is the first thing a girl asks you? What do you think of her? She parties a lot? She’s a heavy drinker? She’s a slut? Is that the kind of girl you want to date? Or just hook up with? I know the answer to that one. So if you are looking to just hook up with a girl these questions are fine. If you actually want a girl to like you I suggest you keep the party animal in it’s cage for the first conversation.
Really you just need to be nice! Then you’ll be in the clear rather painlessly. I don’t know why that’s so hard to grasp.
