Everyone’s favorite person – only backwards
I’ve just discovered the band Good Charlotte and have bought an album of theirs, “The Young and the Hopeless” in addition to their song “I Just Wanna Live” which is my new favorite song.
They’re pretty good – they’re like green day, but a little less hard-rock-ish. Guess how I found them – that’s right – Pandora. There’s some good stuff on there.
Today is September the 24th, one month from now it will be October the 24th, my 14th birthday. Yay!
Aaron was able to get a review copy of the brand new iPod Nano 2nd generation (2g) from Tekserve for the podcast, and was kind enough to give it to me, so I put it side by side with my iPod Nano 1st generation (1g) and took a couple of pictures…
The 2g (right) is a little bit thinner than the original nano. (Is that possible?) It’s also much less prone to scratching because of the aluminum case-outside-thing. (But then again, how could anything scratch worse than the original?)
The 2g’s screen (right) is obviously 40% (I think) brighter. And sharper, though I still wouldn’t want to touch it for fear of mushing it up.
It’s cool. A decent improvement, especially with 8 gigs, longer battery life, cheaper price, no scratching, thinner, and colors. Though there are still no GAMES AND VIDEOS! I understand videos on the small screen probably wouldn’t work well, but why can’t the games from the iTunes store work on the nano???
And finally, you may have noticed that my sidebar has (yet again) decided to create an error somewhere in the code, and just for that little error, it stopped the entire sidebar from showing. But I’ll reinstall the theme and it should be back in a day or two when I have the time, and I feel like doing it.
While in Maine, LITERALLY half of my photos (151:158 ratio) weren’t of the Maine landscape, but were taken at night of lights. Not just normal lights, blurred and beautiful lights that make some AWESOME wallpapers. Enjoy them, because there are 151 of them. Here are some of the best ones:
While Lost may be the best in TV in mystery, and 24 in drama and suspense – The Office (that’s the US version) is by FAAAR the best in Comedy.
It’s funny, awkward, hilarious, awkward, sad, amazing, and at the end of Season 2 – Jim kissed Pam! So now Season 3 is officially starting next thursday – oh, did I mention Pam is engaged? – anyway, it starts next thursday and anyone who likes good comedy should tune to NBC at 8 (or 9, I’m not sure) next thursday night and check out what happens.
Words cannot describe this T.V. show. I just recieved and watched the last disc of the 24 season one dvd set from netfilx, so I’ve now watched the entire season. I’ve seen some of the other 4 seasons, and they’re great, but none of them are as good as the first season.
It’s just so…. fast-paced, action-packed, good, great, amazing – you have to see it.
And the ending is SOOOOO sad for season 1 – it’s supposed to be happy but the worst thing in the world happens, that’s just so horrible I’m not going to spoil it for you.
Get a free weekend, get 24, watch 24, love 24. Once Lost starts again I might have a 24 vs. Lost post.
