Lessons learned on the day
I definitely really need to learn to chill out and not take things so personally and get so angry about random things. Jeremy was definitely right about these things and I shall try harder to be better about that.
Work today was eh. Lifting 75 lb TVs all day isn't my idea of fun, but it's not too difficult, just tiring on the back. But we were working at a compartively fast pace, so we can take long breaks and it's okay apparently. We will be doing the same thing tomorrow and in to Thursday, and so I'm definitely looking forward to Thursday. Only three more days of work, and then I'll be rolling in the dough somewhat.
Macworld announcements were also interesting. The MacBook looks awesome, I wish I had one. I question their naming scheme. I watched the end of the keynote to see Jobs demo the new iMac and MacBook Pro. He says that they're done with Power and want Mac in the names of their products, but I don't know what they'll call the PowerMac. The MacMac? BigMac? (Might be copyrighted) Simply Macintosh Pro? I also guess the iBook will stay the iBook based on the fact that iMac stayed the iMac, but then why go through the trouble of MacBook Pro? Maybe the iBook will change to MacBook Home or something in that vein. I am somewhat confused. Coolest innovation is the magnetic power adapter. That's one thing I wish I had. Though I like the green/amber ring of light on my power adapter and it doesn't seem that the new connecter has this.
Tomorrow's looking pretty chill. Work and then word on the street is George might be going to Jeremy's so I might head over there for a bit. Power Stone 2 is probably a much more exciting game with more than 2 people.
In unrelated news, I got new shoes which are just like my old ones but different colors. They're comfortable. I also got my bio book in the mail today, so I am set for school in terms of textbooks.
Beat Beast's Castle in Kingdom Hearts II, which was exciting. The cooperation attacks are nice, and together with Drive Mode make it seem almost unfair because you can just really beat up on people, but I wasn't the one who designed the game. On to the Land of Dragons, which will be rather simple since the enemies are supposed to be weaker than they were in Beast's Castle (and those enemies were pretty wimpy.)
For now I am out. I keep needing to do things about this website, but I'm sure they'll get figured out at some point. Maybe a podcast would be interesting, but I have no idea what to do it on, and I'm not nearly funny enough to have things to talk about that would interest people. Leave me ideas.

Responding in reverse order:
I think podcasts work better if it's more than one person. You and Ryan could broadcast live from your room or something. And if you update to iLife 06 Garageband'll have all those podcast-y features too.
And those enemies were totally not wimpy. The bouncy ones anyway. The first time.
And better than the MacMac, the McMac.
And you were right about things too. I hope we're good now.

I think you could do a tag-team type podcast. You could showcase music you really like, and you could talk about Japanese and videogames. You could talk in Japanese! I would listen for sure. I also think you should sing for us all to hear.

It doesn't matter what you talk about on your podcast. I know I'm among the many who just like to hear your voice. It's soothing....
errr...
see you soon!
