This is my first time dictating using completely my computer. Before, I would always have to be attached to my external hard drive with the huge XP virtual hard disk, but no more. With the 120 GB hard drive in my new MacBook, I can voice recognize to my heart’s content wherever I have my headset, and I have 30GB still available for porn schoolwork.

Rockin’.

It’s 2 a.m. here, and my mom and I are just going to bed. We went to Guitar Center and got this box that allowed her to record into her computer. We tried it out tonight, and she recorded a cover of the Madonna song “Beautiful Stranger”. It sounded very good, both from a karaoke and sound quality perspective.

Today we went down to Secaucus to get some craft supplies and we went up to Paramus to the Guitar Center, so we spent a lot of time on the road. The roads in this area are incredible. What we would consider surface streets in Sacramento are full blown highways with big trucks doing 65 mph…it’s incredible.

I’ve been totally obsessed with the CSS song “Art Bitch” this week, and I know why…it reminds me SO much of the HorseCow crowd. The first verse:

My art is called egocentric soft porno
Or maybe it’s
just narcisism
My one and only subject
Goes from
something like anything but
Me-ism

And oddly enough I’ve been doing creative projects this entire week… helping my mom make her own Mac-based recording studio.

I went and visited were my mom works today, it was much more highbrow than I pictured. She always refers to it as a “shoebox,” but it was really nice. Well, that’s probably because while she was gone the boss made her work area like twice as big as it used to be.

I’m investigating new music on the iTunes Store…instead of surfing the profiles of my exes. *slaps own hand* Bad Darius!

Well, I think I’ll look over the new music videos on the Store, and probably buy the one for Benni Benassi’s “Satisfaction.” It’s horribly misogynystic, but I love it. You be the judge:

I can’t help myself! It’s stuck in my head! :(

UPDATE: I ended up buying “Maps” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs instead. Karen O. makes me happy.

And I spent the last hour and a half making a new sex mix after a friend told me a hot anecdote regarding Goldfrapp’s “Slippage.”

Eww…I remember my last sex mix…was used on that douchebag Thomas. Ick.

Thomas is every uppety fag in the world. Rolled into one. *puke*

I’m so glad I haven’t fucked any trashy fags in the Sacramento area. Well, at least not firsthand.

I guess Mark counts as trashy, but he’s sort of on a higher level since we’re both super mac geeks.

My grandma needs to go out of town. Like, as soon as I get back.

I want like, super awesome unrestrained sex…blasting music and biting…which is hard to do when your grandma is in the next room. Damn it for being 4 a.m. Damn my significant other being 3,000 miles away.

This mix fucking rocks.

I’m going to blast it all tomorrow long. Up next: Sleep.

I’ve been playing around with this JavaScript technology called lightbox. But I didn’t get it to work, unfortunately. There is no documentation. And I didn’t have much time to fiddle with it.

This is the first actual work I’ve done on my MacBook, and I have to say it’s performing perfectly. I thought I would have to get a widescreen tablet to work on my widescreen monitor, but it actually works fine. And the two fingers scrolling on the Mac books trackpad makes navigating web sites so much easier.

My mom and grandma are at ShopRite getting supplies for when my mom and I go to Wildwood tomorrow. We’re going to stay in a hotel and cook our own food, so of course we’re bringing a bunch of stuff. My sunburn is going away, which is pretty awesome. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was.

This is also the first time I’ve done voice-recognition on my new computer, and I must say it is much faster. This is the model I got.

Old computer:
1.66 Core Duo processor
80GB hard drive

New system:
2.16GHz Core 2 Duo processor
120GB hard drive

The Core 2 processors are Intel’s latest generation, and are quite fast. I’m going to take the two gigs of memory from my old computer and put it in the new one once I get home. I would do it now, but I don’t have any tools and I don’t want to damage either of the computers doing a slapdash job.

I had always wanted lightbox on my site, but I thought it would be a pain to implement… and it still might be, but I’m having fun playing around with it. Well, I had better clean up the basement… I have USB cables running the length of the basement and my grandma is not going to be happy stepping over the cable spaghetti when they come back from ShopRite.

Yesterday Apple unveiled new iMacs. I saw this picture on Digg… it kind of made me smile.

I see cable spaghetti…
