i need you!! I'll be selling my macbook shortly if anyone is interested

backlog

2008-09-29T21:49:00.000-07:00

being that i no longer reside in the godforsaken town of tallahassee, i find myself with much less time spent on the computer and more with actual people. while this is a good thing, i have been severely out of touch with my inner mac/internet!

every time i use photobooth i always find myself saying "why wont it just keep taking pictures?" and apparently since leopard came out it does and i just haven't noticed. (open mouth insert foot)

so tonight, instead of studying i discovered this feature and the video!! although i cant get the audio to work when i record a video if anyone has any suggestions for that. it takes the pictures pretty quickly, they probably couldve thrown in an extra second or so. but you get the hang of it after a few.

needless to say im pretty excited about it and a little pissed it took me so long to realize! things are gonna get werid real fast jenny! haha

rumor has it...

the air and sea show will be returning in '09!!! pleaseee!

Mcdonalds backed out last year because they didn't want to put up the cash to fund the pricey show and without another sponsor...no air and sea show. i came across a pretty funny entry on miaminights.com regarding the cancellation that made me lol

Air and Sea Show canceled for 2008
BY B.A.C., 12/14/2007
Hello Ft. Lauderdale. How are you? Last time I was there you showed me exactly why I hate you so. In fact I needed a hazardous material scrubbing when I got home to remove the stench of suck that clinged to my body. Sort of like BO, only on a monumental scale. Apparently McDonalds finally realized the stench was from your county and not their trans fat injected french fries. So naturally they did not renew their sponsorship for the air show. I think the press release said something like "We will now be holding the show in Iraq. Less overhead, all the supplies are already in place and we can include dead Iraqi children in the show."

I might be behind on this one but i just found out the candy store in town center sells kidrobot AND ugly dolls?!?!? wtf

They have every size ugly doll, series 5 dunnys and munnys as well. I was enthralled when i walked into the store just to see if they had anything cool and i stumbled onto a gold mine!

im really glad i didnt drive all the way to pinkghost to pick up a new dunny. i got one of the mystery dunnys, but not the ninja! :)

Teddybears

2008-09-23T19:44:00.000-07:00

The teddybears are a swedish band and have been around since 1991. I just recently found out about them and well im slightly obsessed

!@#$%!

Tickets went on sale yesterday for the faint at Culture room on october 25th!!!! i hope you got yours, i bought 4, better safe than sorry....

i want everyone and their mother to come to this show. its basically going to be the best night of my life. i've never seen the faint live and the stories I've heard keep adding to my growing anticipation. BE THERE BE THERE BE THERE!!!!!!!

Everyone is raving about Fasciinatiion, rightfully so, its a sick album. i cant wait to see whats next from blank.wav. i hope they do big things. i have some pretty high expectations for their new label and i dont think ill be let down.

Fulcrum and lever- the faint

I just had to throw in our mutual fav painting. :) love you booger!!!

aorta

2008-09-10T16:59:00.000-07:00

This painting is hanging in one of my best friends room and everytime i see it i remember how much i love it. I finally remembered to take a picture this time. i think her sister did it as a school project years ago? but something about it just really gets me every time and i just find myself staring at it finding something new each time i see it.

this is a more detailed shot of one of the sections

and of course Audrey always makes me smile, this painting is about 4 foot tall and gorgeous

2008-09-09T22:44:00.000-07:00

slightly obsessed with accounting right now, maybe its just the beginning stages that have me so intrigued, but i cant get enough. debits = credits, credits=debits, it just makes sense

grande ice coffee black 2 times/day - $5.00
karate cookie by design basket - $75.00
ice cream cone cookie by design- $7.95
Jennys smile- PRICELESS

so unoriginal but nothing is more fitting to describe that face <3

The pandora app on my iphone is def my fav right now. My cigarette lighter broke in my car and i am rarely home so i find myself with a dead ipod quite often. i hate cds and haven't had time to load music onto my iphone soooo pandora is basically my lifesaver right now.

tape deck to headphones, repeat. im so happy they fixed the headphone jack on the 3G.

im a week into my free trail of mobile me and will definitely be purchasing it when its up. between my imac, macbook and iphone there is no way i could keep them all synced without it. highly reccomend using mobileme for OCD/ anal people, or anyone who is just plain awesome

and its free for 60 days so what do you have to loose?

obesity kills

2008-09-09T22:09:00.001-07:00

My second day back at FAU i was walking down the breeze way and noticed a microwave next to a vending machine filled with disgusting microwavable food. My first urge was to grab a nonexistent spray can out of my purse and tag "OBESITY KILLS" across the entire structure.

The level of disgust i experienced was hardly explainable. The selection of fast food on campus is not limited in any way, is a faster, less healthy method of eating really necessary??? i think not. Not to mention that the microwave strips this already shitty food of any nutritional value it might have contained in the first place.

Put what you wish into your body but dont complain to me that your fat...thats alli ask

google is my boyfriend

2008-09-09T21:55:00.000-07:00

Google is slowly going to take over the world and we re not even going to know what hit us, but im ok with that! lol google is my gmail, google is my blogger, google is my boyfriend. it only seems natural it should be my internet browser as well.

I've been expecting this for a while now and am a bit disappointed that the beta is only available for windows so far!! get with it google!! Anyways, i hope the browser lives up to the hype and being that google has yet to let me down i'm assuming it will.

to make things super comprehensible (as always) google has even created a comic strip, yes a comic!! to show us exactly what its about, click here to check it out

you can sign up to recieve an email when the beta is available for mac here

Also, the chrome logo strangely resembles the old game "simon says", it was the first thing i thought of when i saw it

Are google and simon says planning a coup to take over the world???

We can only hope so!

shake it!

2008-09-09T21:27:00.000-07:00

The new nano is the first mini i would actually buy since the original mini came out forever ago. I've had such distaste for the nano series that i've lugged around my 60GB everywhere. the genius feature is basically the same thing as listening to my pandora app on my iphone, but there is a time and place for everything.

As much as i'd love to have my 3G superglued to my hand at all times, there are just certain places it doesn't belong- gym, skating, etc. the aluminum is a nice touch as well, i was getting tired of the plastic casing they've been leaning towards so much

soooo new ipod for me!! GREEN fo sho, check out the quick tour here

Every week tuesdays manage to brighten me up. New music during the day & the fixx at night, what more could i ask for?!?!

Its been a while since anyones put out an album worth listening to but this past tuesday def impressed me. The black ghosts released their self-titled album, which ive been anticipating for almost a year.

The black Ghosts- I want nothing (zshare)

Ratatat's 3rd album, Lp3, was released on tuesday as well, I was hoping for some vocals on this one, but looks like they are keeping it classic with the instrumentals

Ratatat- Shempi (zshare)

This is me, on a saturday night, not watching my most highly anticipated movie of the year. !@#$%! MK hit the big screen 2 days ago and ive yet to convince anyone to fly to NYC to see it soooo life sucks.

On the bright side, new iphone on friday and a frigity fresh soundtrack:

please stop

2008-05-15T17:26:00.000-07:00

dont get me wrong, i love justice, but if i hear D.A.N.C.E played one more time at a bar/club im going to tear my head off. at first it was fun and i would get excited to hear a remix of it or what not, but now, when i see 15 wasted sorority sluts screaming the words to it on the dance floor i just want to cry. it must be retired, srsly please stop. Cross is such a good album with numerous danceable songs, cant they get some love?? :(

muxtape+stumbleupon

2008-05-13T12:45:00.000-07:00

This is the most exciting collaboration ive seen in a really long time. Stumble-upon is the ultimate guide to randomness! I have a love/hate relationship with muxtape, i like the idea of it but there are so many playlist to go through its hard to find stuff you actually like.

Muxtape Stumbler lets you type in a band and brings up muxtape playlists that include the band you searched and similar bands. im slightly obsessed. thanks rocky! i <3 you lover!

Some of my favorites on muxtape:
let's fucking rage

2008-04-23T17:40:00.000-07:00

hello kitty barbie! yay! I picked up this little gem at goodwill for a whopping 4 dollars! Great addition to my collection, i think ill put her next to Dorothy, which reminds me i still need to get my hands on the wicked witch!

why TNT why?!?!

2008-04-23T17:14:00.000-07:00

Every year around this time my world comes crashing down. As basketball begins to consume my favorite network, TNT, i find myself flicking through channels and realizing how much i love TNT!! Bravo and A&E help me preserve a little bit of sanity with CSI and Law & Order: CI. but nothing compares to the original episodes with McCoy and of course Elliot and Olivia in SVU (my fav)

So i ask why TNT? why must you torture me so? Basketball belongs on ESPN or w.e other sports channels there are out there. anywhere other than my TNT . does anyone know when basketball is over so i can begin my countdown.?? :(

kudos for AA

2008-04-22T14:04:00.000-07:00

AA is doing a good job at keeping chemicals (pesticides in particular) off my body and in test tubes where they belong!

im hoping that within 2 years it wont be such a pain/costly to live 100% organic!

My wifey Miss Dani Rosenberg, made me this, ummm shall we call it Lennon's box of love? in art class and i almost didnt believe her when she brought it home. she cut every piece of wood and calculated every measurement. now, if you know dani, then you know that her using a saw is about the equivalent to hiking mount everest!

My favorite part are the floating Gene Kelly figures. Thanks munchkin, I LOVE YOU, even tho you blew up the internet! lol

priceless

2008-04-20T13:42:00.001-07:00

how bout we create a utopian society on an island far far away (not the radioactive one) and live it up Lost style?!?! who's coming with me?

gimme gimme gimme

2008-04-20T13:26:00.001-07:00

finally! im pretty sure we all had these growing up but why cant we still wear them?!?! srsly how comfy. id expect American Apparel to put something like this out but the closest thing they carry is def going for style rather than comfort.

i'm a little disappointed that there aren't any BOOTIES (the best part of onezie pjs) but considering i haven't found them anywhere else ill take what i can get. these would have done me well my last 2 years in tally but im MOVING now !! YAY for going home! :)

buy them here!!

The wackness has been screened at a couple diff film festivals

also, if mac ends up making this patent, i may just shed a tear, it would be amazing.

death pop

2008-04-17T18:22:00.000-07:00

Lately i've been really into music that sounds really happy but is also very angry at the same time. kind of the same way the gloomy bear makes me feel.

This photo of Nellie Mckay sums up her music perfectly. at first you'd think she's cute and lovable from the tutu and pink, but as you listen to her music you realize she might be plotting to kill you while distracting you with her pretty melodies.

won't U please B nice- Nellie Mckay

i'll kill her- soko

and sneakers are in.....vending machines apparently. onitsuka tiger put this vending machine on the streets from monday until today. offering up to 6 different sizes, the vending machine is off to london than manchester. this is crazy! i wish there were cigarette vending machines but i guess that wont happen until there are actually robot vending machines capable of checking ids, dammit!

satin love

2008-04-16T22:59:00.001-07:00

i thought this was a dress at first, but its actually 2 separate pieces, both of which i'm equally in love with. both pieces are from Christian Wijnants SS08 collection, available at seven new york.

after admiring the outfit i noticed the price tag and realized theres no chance im getting EITHER piece. the skirts $495 and the top is $395! jeez. a girl can dream......

project runway death sentence

2008-04-16T16:55:00.000-07:00

wtf are they thinking? Project runway is leaving pro-gay network bravo for Lifetime EWWW. Lifetime is known for their stupid stalker movies and golden girl reruns, hardly the audience that PR pulls.

what a hot tranny mess!! as long as they still have biweekly marathons ill be happy.

these are dropping holiday 08' which is perfect timing for my 21st bday (dec 20th) and christmas. someone, please, hook it up :) or i will buy them myself!

reebok custom=gloriousness

2008-04-16T13:05:00.000-07:00

so nikeid is great and all, but considering that freestyle's aren't offered in as much variety as nikes, rbk custom is a great way to get what you want.

if the 25th anniversary editions, neon colors that yelle loves so much, and the soon to come city series just dont seem to satisfy you then go make your own!

pearl i'm sure your closet has at least 10 pairs in it by now, what else is there to do all day in CO?!?!?

i cant wait for the rest of the cirty series to drop!

fuck candy bar

2008-04-16T03:25:00.000-07:00

mom jeans.......NOT

2008-04-16T00:37:00.000-07:00

American Apparel has finally released a solid pair of high-waisted jeans. everyone's been showing high-waisted jeans for a while now and i've been expecting them from AA. $70 is a bit steep for AA but compared to what they're going for at urban, its a steal.

the reviews are mixed, some say they look like mom jeans or that they come up too high. im assuming these people are fat and stumpy. everyone knows only skinny and decently tall people can pull them off. get over it.

the rest are all good things, tho people do recommend getting a couple sizes smaller than normal to avoid saggy ass. eww.

thanks dov! you rock rock.

yes im blogging, yes you hate me. i can thank my ear/sinus infection for forcing me to finally get to it (i feel like im 8 yrs old again with an ear infection wtf). i truly never thought id succumb to the grips of the blasting my life on the internet. oh well, what's a girl to do when she's stuck in frat-central i.e tallahassee with the most superficial, alcohol consuming, greek zombies, srsly. thankfully i have tweedle dee and tweedle dumb to help me conserve my sanity. idc if you read my blog, idc care if you like me, i clearly just like to hear myself talk, isn't that why people blog? or is it just another way for people to hate? hmph....

whats a girl to do- bat for lashes
