dear santa.

So I’ve finally decided that my 3-year-old Sony Vaio laptop is officially on its deathbed. It sounds like a motorboat when it runs and the only way that I am able to use it without driving myself crazy is by blasting music or using it to watch a loud movie. Thank god for my netbook.

my dissected laptop (don't worry, i successfully put it back together again)


Because I do still need a high-powered computer to run programs to make my music, edit photos, and eventually video… I’m seriously considering purchasing a Mac for the first time ever. And so… here is my geeky electronics wishlist just in time for Christmas (even though the only one who will be buying this stuff for me is my credit card within the next year… hah).

  1. Mac Mini

    2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM in a tiny package would be so cute and the 2 apps I’ve always wanted to use (that are unavailable on Windows) are Final Cut and Logic!
  2. 23″ or 24″ Dell Full HD Monitor
    It’s cheaper than Apple and just as good or better… not as chunky.
  3. Canon t1i
    Still on my wishlist.

Every time I wait at this subway station for the D train I can’t help but wonder whether or not I could clear this leap. Yeah, I know I’m weird.

Yes, just wanted to say that that is Jay-Z in his newest music video sitting in front of MY train stop and referring to MY McDonald’s, thank you very much! Love that song, by the way.

Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’m on twitter now, teehee! Follow me!

the future is now.


the very-near future:

  • I finally ordered a netbook. Mr. Dell Mini 10v should be here by this Wednesday, if FedEx is telling the truth! Yay! I am such an electronics nerd.
  • DaniFaints is coming next week! Welcome back to NYC!
  • Halloween? I still don’t have a costume. Any ideas for me?
  • MUSIC. I’ve been up in the (makeshift) studio with my friend JoMaxx, hoping to help in the release of his first mixtape! I’ll stick a link to some of his stuff whenever it’s finally up!
  • Bought my plane tix for XMAS/NYE 2009 …back to the bay in December for me, I really do miss it sometimes.
