bryiarrosei meant to post friday night, i would have if ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zennerthanyou hadn't told me to go to sleep. oh well.
at any rate, it's been a mostly good weekend. i decided on friday that i really needed my hair cut. so i called and got the last appointment my girl had for the day and then rushed up to the cities after i got out of the scic. she's moving to connecticut right after christmas, which means i'll have to find someone new again. i really like nikki--she's never given me a bad cut. in fact, she's never given me a cut i haven't loved. which is why i made sure i got her on friday. because i wanted to go a little shorter again, and a little different. for those of you who want to see, and have a mac you should be able to view these. i can't get them to load in any program i have, but they'll open in the finder. i don't know what a pc would do with them. i took them with my pretty shiny new toy. which brings us to the rest of my night.
went to the panther release event at the apple store with my dad and brother (who's 11 and is obsessed with computers in general and macs in particular). the line to get in was crazy; there was a blonde girl named jane working there who knew me, but i can't remember from where; we entered to win a mac (which we didn't) and got free promo dogtags. and then there was the checkout. i kind of treated myself. i bought an imic, in the hopes that this will be an easier solution to getting things off minidisc, and an isight. the second is really the treat. and how i took the pictures. i didn't buy panther because i should be getting it with my next adc mailing (the final version of ichat av which comes with that should make it all much easier).
when i told the guy at the register this he tried to recruit me. he asked if i was a developer, and i honestly said that i'm taking my first cs classes now and have been interested in getting into it for awhile. he asked if i was looking for a part time job. which i may be in about a month. apparently they desperately need women and will be hiring for seasonal, etc in a couple of weeks. he's an assistant manager and gave me his card and said if i was interested to email some info to him. and i'm tempted to. but there's these two things: 1) i'd have to drive up to edina to go to work. in winter. not as tempting. but it's still working at an apple store. 2) i don't know if i really would stand a chance at getting hired. i mean, yes. i'm a woman. yes i know a fair amount about computers. but i know a lot of practical stuff, not necessarily hardware and software specs and things like that which i would need to know. but it's a job. and it's at an apple store. shiny pretty things. i don't know. anyhow.
it was good to play last night. it's been too long. and it was a really nice event. lots of good eclectic music and heartfelt remembrances. madeline gave me a button to wear that says "folk you!" on it. i'm not sure if she was giving it to me to wear or keep or what, but it's very cool and she had disappeared when i got off stage so i couldn't find out after.
i didn't play spectacularly, partially because my hands were frozen and wouldn't obey me and partially because i was playing my third-string guitar. (my baby was being finicky and it's twin has a broken string.) but i did well enough and got lots of nice compliments. the mini-set was:
not quite sure (note to self: why do i start with this one? the picking is harder than most things.)
blackbird queen
baby
only up to me
i did try to record, got a full disc's worth of the evening. but i haven't listened to see how it turned out yet. came home exhausted after, and slept more than i needed to.
now i'm facing huge amounts of work and am actually kind of scared at the thought that i might not be able to get it all done by when i'm supposed to. but i should probably go try. so many things i want to read and do that i'm not allowed to right now. and so many things i don't want to read and do that i'm supposed to. don't we love college?
yep. i'm boring.
p.s. if anyone on aim or yahoo wants to chat and help me test the new camera, that would be cool.
