Well, they finally decided to pull MacWorld out of Boston. I suppose it makes sense, considering the show couldn’t even get Apple to come. I’ve been to two shows in Boston (one at the South Boston Cenvention Center, and the other most recently at the Hynes Convention Center), and also one here in San Francisco. It’s easy to say that the SF show blew the Boston ones out of the water. While I never had the chance to go to one of the MacWorlds when they were in New York, from what I’ve heard it was much more exciting (to nerds like me) than the later shows.

While this makes me a little sad (now I don’t have an excuse for anymore improptu visits to Boston) I can see where they’re coming from. The Boston shows, especially at South Boston, was pathetic at best. The area that MacWorld took up was a paltry 1/4th of the room they were in. It looked… sad. Hynes was laid out a little better, but the gap left by vendors such as Apple, Macromedia, Adobe, etc was very noticable. I couldn’t tell from the article whether or not they’re planning on moving the show back to NYC, or if they’re just going to have the one show in SF. Maybe… two shows in SF? That’d be super.

I’ve been listening to this album for the past two days, and I’m still not positive exactly how I feel bad it. There are definitely a few great tracks (”Lights”, “Blood” and especially “Munich”), however the rest of the album isn’t quite sticking with me yet. This is their first album, so I can give the Birmingham, UK, band some credit for effort. Fans of Interpol and Bloc Party will be psyched, as they have a similar dark, dancey feel to them. I hope they tour soon, I wouldn’t mind seeing their show live.

I thought these pictures are beautiful, albeit a little disturbing. I just love the way they’re shot. See them here.

I’ll probably have bad dreams about those too.
I have to wait another day to move now because they “forgot” to shampoo the carpets, even though I’ve called twice to remind them. I promise, soon I’ll stop complaining about the move, I swear.

The nightmares are getting weirder. Last night I was playing some kind of volleyball game at my high school, and everyone was laughing at me because I couldn’t serve the ball over the net. If you know me, you know that I am an extremely competitive person (especially in the things which I’m halfway decent at; volleyball being one of those things). Then I went into the locker room, and proceeded to GIVE MYSELF A ROOT CANAL. I actually took my teeth out of my head (not individually, as an entire package) and tried to follow Internet intructions. WHAT?! What is going on inside my brain lately? Can these all be stress dreams? Dreams of impending failure? I don’t know, but now that you all think I’m completely psycho, I’ll change the pace a little bit:

Why can’t we buy things on cell phones here the way they can in Japan? I don’t think that’s fair. In fact, I don’t think it’s fair in general that Japan gets all the cool stuff first, and then proceeds to integrate all their fabulous new technology into their lives, while we salivate from across the pond.

Whatever, they’re totally going to have the robot holocaust first. Oh, and that makes me think of something else! Apparently I say “robot” like “row-butt,” and this is not correct. Except now I think it’s hilarious and emphasize it at every opportunity. Ok, time to go to work. Thanks for everyone who has been reading! I hope I don’t scare you away with this post about my creepy dreams.
