Sex and the City...

Ok... I'm not really llike Aidan. I'm not as boring as him nor as uptight. I'm kinda laid back with a good sense of humor and a sincere, sweet heart like Steve. In addition to being annoying and self-righteous and all that... lol.

Who are they on film?

Who are they?

I was just thinking of the film 9 Songs and how perfectly matched the character of the girl is to my ex. Do you know anyone personally who has been portrayed on film as though they were the writer's real world source for the character? This works especially well for people who have very distinctive characters.

Jackie> "Lisa" from 9 Songs:

Intense. Mysterious. Detatched. Commitment-phobic. Externally carefree. Internally struggling. Just floating, like a lost soul.
Medeleine> "Faith" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Angry. Violent. Vindictive. Reckless. Dangerous. No loyalties. Inner turmoil. Ends up hurting the very people who care about her the most.
Charmaine> "Charlotte" from Sex and the City
Sweet. Honest. A bit material. Picky. Just needs to meet her "Harry" - a guy who is nothing like her expectations - and live happily ever after.
Ben> "Aidan" from Sex and the City
Self-righteous. Sincere. Annoying. Gentle. Judgmental. I hate Aidan!

Loving the 160GB iPod Classic

Wow. Not only can I store more music on my iPod than I can fit on my MacBook (I need to upgrade to that 250GB drive!) I can spend my commute watching Veronica Mars and catching up with ABC Nightly News.

160GB of sonic goodness!

Well I did it. After four years I finally got a new iPod. I had been waiting for more capacity (80GB still wasn't enough to warrant an upgrade) and Apple delivered.

I am now the proud owner of the new 160GB iPod Classic.

It's awesome, but now I'm faced with the dilemma about how to get all of my music on there. My MacBook hard drive is only 120GB (upgraded from the originally measly 40) ant it's filled with photos, applications and about 40GB of music. I'm going to want to rip about 100GB more of my CD collection before I'm happy.

Anyway, I love the thing. It's got a nice, durable aluminum front now with newly hardened screen, bright LED backlit display, video (I already uploaded the "Protege Moi" video) and room for all my photos. Gotta remove the photos of my ex, though... lol.

I also need to search for more album art for my music, organize my playlists, set ratings, organize my photos, my contacts... geez... as though I don't have enough things taking up my time.

Anyway, I've taken a few photos with my point-and-shoot camera, and I'll upload them shortly.

Meanwhile, it's nice to immerse myself back into my music!

BIG step...

Well, it's official. December 1st. Very low-key. low profile, mostly for budgetary concerns.

Appointment for registration is complete. Some friends have been notified. Thinking about having a small banquet for immediate family and a cocktail cruise for friends.
