Catching Up

Well I've been a little busy with my favorite part of college, group projects. I still have a couple of more this semester but eh, what can you do? So there were a lot of things I wanted to write about so I'll try and do a little catch-up. I've been taking random pictures with my cell phone so hopefully some of them will be interesting.



??? So I don't know if any of you remember the incident with Nair for Men and my nipples but I saw this aptly named product while searching though my local pharmacy for some wax strips. No, I don't want to explain. I was laughing in the middle of the isle when I saw this though. Julie thought I was weird.




Congratulations Your Premium Just Went Up!


I was shopping at Best Buy on 45th and State and couldn't help but notice the biggest bow I have ever seen in my life. Must have been some grand opening party. I can understand the desire to celebrate and let everyone know that the new hospital is opening but isn't this a little much. How many people had to okay this monstrosity and the cost of putting it up? Trying to find affordable health care for the self employed I wish they would have just given me a discount or something instead of throwing a big party for themselves. Thank you IHC.





I'm noticing lately that I like new music less and less. Every time I turn on the radio I usually switch to a station that is playing songs I listened to in high school. Is this a common occurrence? I'm actually listening to a little Primus at work right know and wishing that I was sailing the seas of cheese with Tommy the cat. I should be studying for my chemistry test on Monday... So I guess I'd better get going.

Apple: One PC: Zero

I'm still a mac... I just wanted to say how much more I like using my macbook than my ridiculously fast pc. I just like everything about my mac more. I really like the keyboard, the software is much easier to install and remove (once you figure out how simple it really is). What else? Software is just easier to use all around. I don't really play that many games so not having a whole lot of those isn't a bad thing. I just get addicted to games anyway. I might have spent way too much time last week playing Heroes of Might and Magic V. I was reminded why I shouldn't play games, especially in the middle of the semester.

Anyways... back to the mac. I was a little disillusioned the other week when I went in to the Apple store to try and get the power cord replaced for my macbook. The cord was coming out of the power adapter and it's still under warranty so I figured I could run in during the afternoon on my only day off and grab one. Bad idea. The store was crazy crowded and no one would help me. After sitting at the help bar for about 10 minutes getting frustrated, I asked the guy next to me if it always took this long. I was informed that if you don't have an appointment you are pretty much screwed. Yeah. So I gave up and left wasting about 2 hours of my day and accomplishing nothing besides getting aggravated. So I made an appointment the next week and my service was astounding. I was let into the store before it opened and handed a new power cord without even giving my name. The whole experience left me a little bewildered. I'm just not used to getting to totally different levels of service in such a short amount of time. But in the end I still haven't used my pc in quite a while. So I guess the moral of my rambling is: Make an appointment for Apple help unless you are buying something new and you will have a lot less stress.
