I’ve been working at Music Nation for nearly a year now… but, it wasn’t until a few months ago they hooked me up with a new MacBook Pro. Mainly, because, I overworked the MacBook… it died after I was running crazy amounts of print work on it. Duh. Graphics people need power, horsepower, space, RAM and cool mugs.
As some of you who know me, know, I work… a lot. I work on the weekends, and I freelance when I’m not working. This puts my computer through a true usability test. I’ve had the new laptop for maybe 4-5 months, and I’ve already noticed 2 things.
I can get this sucker super hot. I have it run high resolution print work, listen to music, email, Intel and PPC applications… geeked out, I know.
Then, this is funny, I use two keys… a lot. So much so, they’ve nearly become invisible. The Apple key, and the N key, are worn the fuck out.
This photo shows it, but, it’s even more impressive close up. And, yes, this makes me a more of a nerd for just sharing this, but, screw it. It’s who I am, and I’m damn cute!

Seriously… last night. It was like watching a really, REALLY bad installation performance, by people… who read an article about it, and thought they could it. But, they’ve been ‘perfecting’ their craft for over 2 years. I saw the following… a ‘light show‘, this consisted of a woman with glow sticks spinning them around like ravers did say 10 years ago. She thinks its a new found art form. Even though she’s been doing it for years, you’d think she’d wear something other than a damn tube top. No joke, the bitch stopped, more than once, to hank the sucker up. Classy, lady, classy.
I heard a guy play on a keyboard… song inspired by Spiderman and thoughts on what the Revenge of Little Red Riding Hood would be like!
I saw some lady (below) who looked like a man in drag, sing/say some weird ass poem about her dead husband’s skull and all this and that about material items. I was confused. She might be as well.
I saw some band, who’s guitarist didn’t show up. Ok, they basically played a jam band routine… with more feedback than I care to recall. My ears still haven’t recovered. Oh, and the singer (and I use that term quite loosely), kept revealing his stomach in a way that made even the straight men present uncomfortable.
It was the evening of train wrecks, I swear. There were so many damn southern-esque style divas in the house, you could smell it. Seriously. I haven’t felt out of my element in quite some time. What’s even more worthy to note is that I was here for 5 hours. Yes, to watch my friend Erin play. She rocked, but, once she was done, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
I’m still amazed there are people with the lack of intelligence (could it be ignorance?) and do not realize their lack of ability. Hey, I have to give them respect for trying, but, damn, don’t make use watch it!

Stella and I saw this on the way to Relish last night… …it was probably about 3-4 inches off the ground.

Thank you for making my day by sending me a text message!

Not for the faint hearted…
… well, technically, it’s not for the faint of hearing.
