It's finally here. Remember my last post?
http://appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2365
It's everything that I thought would be released. A new nano, widescreen and touch sensitive ipod, and an ipod phone. But its all rolled into one. Even more! Smart phone and internet capabilities!
$499 4GB. $599 8GB. WITH 2 YEAR CONTRACT. Imagine how much it would cost without signing.
wooosh. Comes out in June. They're still in production. CINGULAR ONLY.
+AppleTV. Connect to your TV. It might work like a TiVO eventually. It has a 40GB hard drive. Wirelessly connects to your computer. You can stream videos from PC to TV or upload your movies, music and pictures into it to watch whenever.
I hope I don't sound like an advertiser. I guess something crazy happens to you when you begin to use more and more Apple products. Buy a Mac and you join a cult. It's the Harry Potter effect.
On a more serious note, I began crying a few hours ago when found out about the surge in troops to Iraq (I was sad about something...and THEN...) Not that I feel bad for the soldiers. Most of them chose to join. I want to join as well, but I can't go to basic training with braces. No, what bothered me was when I realized what our national deficit is and how much HE has spent.
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 09 Jan 2007 at 07:47:45 PM EASTERN is $8,680,082,145,638.72
Go to the governments own Public Debt Website yourself. http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/
Imagine all the great things we could have done with those trillions of dollars. Homes for the homeless, better schools, funding for renewable energies. We can stop wasting time and money on silly fuel cells and instead devote it all to technology that is readily available. The ELECTRIC CAR, PEOPLE! Its BEEN HERE. Not to mention OF COURSE, funds for Social Security and, most importantly, help for Third-World countries and their peoples.
His approval rating is at 26% (USA Today.) None of the joint chiefs of staff support the big surge. Not even the man in charge of the situation, who is IN iraq, endorses it.
Why has nothing been done to impeach, or at least control him?? They are feeding us too many insanely processed foods with Who-Knows-What in them. They use chemicals to fatten us up, to get our brains clogged up with cellulite to slow and calm us down. I TELL YOU! I TELL YOU!!!

alright, alright.. since summer began, i've been telling people my ipod predictions. My idea of the next ipod has come from tidbits i've heard online and copies of patents that apple has submitted.
alright, so ..i belive it will be widescreen, like a current ipod laid on its side, with no click wheel. There was a patent that showed that the screen may be touch-sensitive. As your finger gets close to the screen, the ipod will sense it and show an on-screen click wheel. you can move your finger around and choose different options without even touching it. Theres also another patent for a "wireless device". Like, bluetooth? For wireless headphones?
Alright, so it MIGHT not be like that at all. Companies usually file patents for stuff that they'll never use, just to make sure that their competitors dont use those ideas.
When will they be available? Its been almost a year since the last ones came out. Apple has a promotion for free nanos if they get a studentmac. that ends september 16th. The last big refresh of ipods was in october05, before that in september04...so i'd say we're in the season.
so..new ipod + nano, itunes movie store, and ipod phone now in september?
well, i dont expect any comments; i wouldnt think anyone here is an ipod freak or anything...

"What's it all about? The dictionary can't define it all. I must understand. You're no longer here to explain globalization, Free States, G8, Tobin Tax, underdeveloped countries, slavery...but I will learn. I don't know what i will be but i know what I won't be. I won't be anti-globalization, nor march with the masses, nor cry "Kill Them", nor be a cop, nor sell out, nor be a thug, nor neutral, nor reasonable, nor a militant, nor a collaborator. I won't fuck everyone, nor create a family, sell ass, buy ass, have kids, fear the dark, love the dark, be a Christian, a Jew, a Buddhist. Not believe in people, be like everyone, transparent, absent, not look women straight in the eye, fuck men rather than speak with them, fuck everyone to avoid loving anyone. I want to tell stories, my own stories. And no one will know if they are real or fantasy. I don't want to be a stupid boy. I am not a stupid boy." -Garcon Stupide

Does anybody else look back at their entries and regret some things that they wrote?
I deleted everything before the Origin of Love entry, and some stuff between that and now.
I have bad news for Drama: We wont be able to sell orange juice because "the fundraiser will compete with the cafetera." Like bagels dont? "Well, thats a board exception." So, we stick to Dominos Cards, Chocolates and Lollipops. I would like anyone elses suggestions for a short term or year long fundraiser(<-reallly want one of those.) Even though its like.. The enthusiasm I had last year to be treasurer has been squeezed out. Who and what are we going to be fundraising for? Any news on new teacher?
ER!CK
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: You know those Sprite "SubLYMONal Messages" commercials? If you have a TIVO or any other DVR, you can slow it down and see frames with codes in them to use at their website for who-knows-what. So, who-knows-what for?
P.S. I mailed my SEA MONKEY 2 YEAR GUARANTEE coupon along with the dollar for s/h. I hope to get my new family of Sea-Monkeys soon. (My first batch lived for about 5 months)

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, bitch. |
] |
The Origin of Love.
When the earth was still flat and clouds made of fire and mountains stretched up to the sky, sometimes higher, folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs. They had two sets of arms and two sets of legs. They had two faces peering out of one giant head so that they could watch all around them as they talked and while they read.
It’s too bad that they never knew anything of love. All this was before the origin of love.
There were three sexes then...
1) One looked like two men glued up back to back, they were called the children of the sun.
2) Similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth. They looked like two girls rolled up in one.
3) The children of the moon were like a fork shoved on a spoon. They were part sun, part earth. Part daughter, part son.
Now, the gods grew quite scared of our strength and defiance. Thor said, "I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer, like I killed the giants."
But Zeus said, "No, you better let me use my lightening, like scissors, like I cut the legs off the whales and turned dinosaurs into lizards." So, he grabbed up some bolts
and he let out a laugh. He said "I'll split them right down the middle. Gonna cut them right up in half."
Storm clouds gathered above into great balls of fire.
And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts, like the shining blades of a knife. It ripped right through the flesh of the children of the sun, the moon, and the earth. Then some Indian god sewed the wound up into a hole and pulled it round to our belly to remind us of the price we pay. Osiris and the gods of the Nile gathered up a big storm to blow a hurricane and scatter us away in a flood of wind and rain. In the sea of tidal waves they washed us all away.
If we don't behave they'll cut us down again. So that we'll be hopping around on one foot and looking through one eye. : /
It was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures. That's the story of the origin of love.
“It is clear that I must find my other half. But is it a he or a she? What does this person look like? Identical to me? Or somehow complimentary? Does my other half have what I don't? Did he get the looks? The luck? The love? Were we really separated forceably or did he just run off with the good stuff? Or did I? Will this person embarass me? What about sex? Is that how we put ourselves back together again? Or can two people actually become one again?”
-Hedwig
(used a mirror for the bigger image, so its flipped.)
And so, my obsession with Hedwig may have gone too far. Along with my a(queer)ian pride.
