Congratulate me, suckas!
You know how when some people announce their engagement, it’s like everyone around them is thrown into this weird twilight zone? The entrance is lined by the glitter of diamond/moissanite, and the maze is of the Myst: Uru-level of complexity — it could take weeks to get out. There’s lots of jumping and squealing and the equivalent of: OH MY GAWD! FINALLY! Oh, my gawd! Four-and-a-half years and my snuggle-bunny honey bun finally popped the question!!! I was beginning to think he didn’t love me, but this $5000 Tiffany’s ring shows me — and everyone else in any building I’m in — that he truly loves me! Note that there…

Windows 7 (professional)
First thought: it’s so pretty! Second thought: this is really slick. It’s the easiest OS install I’ve had since college, and is cake to get used to. Vista was always hell to install, because I had an upgrade version. That meant I had to install Windows 2000, which broke my 500 GB hard drive into absurd partitions. Then, sitting at 640 x 480 in Windows 2000, I started the Vista install. Because Windows 2000 was 32-bit, I could only install 32-bit Vista. And because… oh, wait, I don’t know why… I couldn’t do a fresh install — I had to upgrade. Win 7 let me install 64-bit and a fresh…

YouTube + rap = time gone…
A secret shame (one of many): I can spend hours watching freestyling on YouTube. If I hear some random rapper on Pandora, the next thing I know I’m watching stuff like the ones below and laughing at a whole slew of things they might not’ve intended to be funny. (The second rapper in this video is a kid I heard on Pandora doing “Chip Diddy Chip“. The first guy I could do without…) or British accents let rappers put an odd twist on their rhymes — they can put lines together that kind of twist my brain a little. It’s fun.

A touch of blackness and a slathering of iPhone
I think that I shall be more of a bitch when people question my ethnicity. That is all. I finally got myself an iPhone (or “iWone”, as I call it) last weekend, and I’m generally impressed. It’s worth the $100 and increase in monthly bills (esp. with the corporate discount I have), since I can afford to swing it. It’s definitely a luxury item, of course, but mos def a convenient one. One disappointment: no read-aloud of driving directions on the 3G. I don’t have a lot of apps at the moment, and I’ve only purchased one: PopCap’s Bookworm — which has proven to me how unsharp I’ve let myself…
