i FINALLY worked out all the speech commands for my mac. oh happy day! i can open up the web and access my bookmarks with just a few spoken commands. KICK. ASS. Of course i now come to the realization that this is in no way a time saver, and it just confirms my belief that I get more lazy with every new piece of technology.
but to make up for it, I took the most wonderful jog at 6 a.m. It was fucking cold, just how i like it. Could not have asked for a more perfect morning. except for the fact that I had to be to work at 8.
in other kick ass news, i'll be recording my demo cd as my final and most important project of my college experience. everyone in their last semester has to create a demo cd that they have either produced or recorded themselves. and almost everyone is recording some band they know. i decided to think outside of the box and record myself! so i'll be working as producer, engineer, AND musician. pretty fucking exciting!! i'll be playing piano, possibly violin as well, and singing of course. i'm going to be recording 2 songs i've written, a classical piece (probably some Chopin, maybe Nocturne in E minor?), and a jazz song called "cry me a river" (no not the justin timberlake shit you call music)
it will be a 10-12 week project, but i will have the songs up on my myspace music page whenever they get completed.

I remember getting my first iMac and fuckin around with the speech commands; they had those even back in system 9.
Good times.
That musical recording of yourself sounds like fun; you should definitely share that when you're done.
Your glasses are hot, btw!
You did Voice commands? Wow.. Lazy butt! lol Just kidding I like it. I would do it too if I had a Mac. Speaking of that I really need to get a laptop. Which I was starting to save for but guess what? Remember back in Sophomore year, I hit my neck and my back was screwed up for a year? I had to go to back therapy for about a year and a half.. remember that? Will guess what happened. About two weeks ago me and my guy were having "fun" and well were doing it all over the place. I hurt my back in one spot and well I was siting in a odd position he rubbed my lower back. Well he hit the Joint and it slipped so slightly. I went to the doctor. He said that my back has been slowly slipping out of place for a few months now... and NOW my Hips are a little fucked up. My right hip is moving forward and my left hip is moving backwards. So yea you could image the pain I have in my back and in my wallet. For my insurance sucks and I have to meet $2,500.00 before they start paying for it. So great! I'm spending all this money on my back that was for my laptop. Its $116.20 a week. It sucks huge balls!!
Sorry I haven't been that active on here. I'm usually resting now. But in other news, I'm talking to two photographers about doing a set. So that is cool.
Oh and I so want a demo of this CD that your creating!!
psh... I guess this should have been a PM... but I'm lazy hehe
