When Mac's Attack

I had quite a scare yesterday in one of my classes. I walk in and see brand spanking new computers in the room. Then .23 seconds later it hits me. They are Macs! MACS!

My mind paralyzed over the notion of having to use a Mac. Are you kidding me? I'm a PC-er! I remember once by accident sitting down at a Mac in a computer lab my sophomore year and didn't want to look like an idiot by getting up and moving to a Dell. Oh what a mistake. Once I'm in and using it it's fine, except the mouse. WHY IS THERE ONLY A SINGLE BUTTON?! And it took me five minutes to sign off. I tried channeling my middle school days when all there was was Macs. I faintly remembered something about an apple at the top of the screen or something crazy. I've gotten better with Mac's since that's what was used at the DU. But still. I avoid them like the plague. I really should learn how to use them though. It's the computer of choice in the media industry.

Thankfully the Mac's in the lab can either be ran as a PC or a Mac. That makes things a little easier. It felt like something out of Zoolander. I haven't seen the whole movie but I know the part when the models are hitting the computers like monkeys trying to get a file out of it and that's exactly how I felt. I don't even know how to turn them on. I was looking for a switch or a button to push and couldn't find one. Luckily mine was on but some kid next to me asked me if I knew how to turn it on and I didn't. I spent most of the class copping a feel of the monitor trying to figure anything out. Never felt a button but I think I found where you'd put a jump drive.

The keyboard was pretty sweet though. The buttons are really flat and reminds me of the keyboard Abs uses on NCIS. ... wow does that speak volumes to my lame ass-ness. I like the keyboard. I don't like that I can't do the standard keyboard functions that I'm used to. And I really hate the lack of the two button mouse. How am I supposed to copy and paste with my mouse? HMM? HOW? I'm sure there is a way but I don't know it.

Tomorrow I actually have to start weight training. You just wait. In eight weeks my biceps are gonna be so huge I'm gonna bust the sleeves of my shirts when I flex. Then four weeks after that, they'll be back to flab since I don't have a gym membership.

CSI:NY was alright tonight. It's the only CSI I watch in real time. Just started to do that in, like, November maybe. But I gotta say. That Det. Angell better keep her hands of my Det. Flack. I don't like that chick. And I don't like the idea that she's banging Flack. They need to stop seeing each other. Pronto. I never really liked NY. I was brought over on a week long marathon. DAMN YOU Spike! Damn you straight to hell! I still adore CSI Miami. Just the first two seasons though. The first two seasons of Miami have to be my favorite CSI. Then regular CSI then NY. I guess that begs the question why don't I watch just plain CSI in real time? And I don't have an answer for it. Just don't. So used to watching it on repeats. Don't like Miami past season two cause of Speed being killed off. Can't stand that Ryan Wolfe. And Natalia Boa Vista. Annoying. And well Horatio seems to have gotten more annoying as the seasons progressed.

Wow. Maybe I should get a gym membership so I'd get off my ass and stop watching TV. Good lawd. Though I do write a lot. It's not all CSI watching. And tonight my roommate said I should write a Lifetime movie about her stalking abilities, which was good for a laugh for ten minutes. I think any movie that involves a woman murdering someone in a crazy way/for a crazy reason, a baby being stolen or someone is gay can be turned into a Lifetime movie.

Ok I'm gonna go...I don't know, do something.

Hasta elbow macaroni!
