in a really mellow mood today, isn't that funny? I don't have anything to bitch about, so today's entry is just going to be sort of a stream of thought style.
I got iTunes working on my laptop, so I'm now able to actually listen to music! Yeeha!
Wanna know why it wouldn't work before? Okay!
This used to be my brother's laptop. He installed a program called QuickTime alternative. I don't know why (pfft!) You know how iTunes needs QuickTime to run? Well, when I got to installing iTunes, it stopped working right where it was meant to install QuckTime. Why? Because the creators of QuickTime alternative chose to have their programs use the same registry files as apple QuickTime, causing an error when installing.
I got rid of QuickTime Alternative and now everything works! I'm so glad, I've been listening to music non-stop since I installed it.
In slightly less interesting news, I've plugged an external monitor into the back of my laptop. It's a considerably better screen, so the colours are brighter and everything is more crisp. Right now, my little computer set-up looks like this...
This means that my laptop is always at about 45 degrees open. I'm looking into an external keyboard + mouse, but this is fine for now.
You know what's great about no homework? The absolute laziness that it brings with it. I mean, of course I haven't turned into some desk-potato (I don't even have a desk) but it's nice to be able to relax and kick back.
Does anyone else feel that the whole Mac community is a bit creepy? That whole "I'm a Mac" thing seems a bit like the mantra of some cult...
Or I'm just paranoid.
I think a little bit of paranoia is healthy, don't you? You've always got to be a little suspicious of your surroundings. Be aware!
Catching up with friends means new things in today's world. It could be meeting up for a movie or it could be finding each other on Facebook. With technology, socialising looks very different from the outside.
"Hey Andrew," you ask "What music are you listening to right now?"
Well, I'm listening to a little playlist I've made up on iTunes. It's a mix of my favourite songs, just ones that put me in a pretty good mood. Here are the first 10 songs:
1|Take a Chance on Me-ABBA
2|Dos Gardenias-Buena Vista Social Club
3|You're So Vain-Carly Simons
4|1,2,3,4-Feist
5|Paper Planes-M.I.A
6|My Rollercoaster-Kimya Dawson
7|Broken Dreams-Basement Jaxx
8|Ma Baker-Boney M
9|Suddenly I See- KT Tunstall
10|Ring of Fire-Johnny Cash.
So there's a little peek into my musical taste for those of you who were interested :D
It's bye for now!
Here's the Link of the Week:
(I should probably re-name Link of the Week, seeing as I post more than once a week. Hmm..)
Fine then, here's the
Link of the Day!
This is a Japanese kid's show called Jagainu Kun. When you translate it, it's pretty much "Dogtato" It's a show about a dog-potato called Jagainu, and his girlfriend Haripotato (a hedge-hog potato" They live in Veggietown, and they have many firends, like Croconion, Strawbatty and Cucumbird. It's a really random show. Like, so random, that at one point, there's a character called Cox (a corn-dog) who yells out "COOOORN!" everytime he jumps in the air. Yes, this is a kids show. And yes, it is really random.
Bye for now! See you next time!
EDIT: 4th of August:
Thankyou to Pierce who pointed out my atrocious spelling and grammar in this blog post. It's all gone now! (I think!)
