Brivisit # something, and my dad forgets I go to college

First of all, the 2wire people gave up and told me to call verizon. Nothing else has happened yet on that.

Now to get into things. So Brian came over this weekend a little last notice. I was extremely happy to say the least. Shortly after he came, my family decided we'd go to the mall. So we did, and being the mac people we are, ended up being in the Apple store. and being the insane person my dad is, He got a Powermac G5. dual 2 GHz processors, 1.5 gigs of ram, and I don't know about you but isn't a 160 GB hard drive massive? and that was the smallest one! Also, being the insane person he is, he also got the 20 inch cinema display. Actually, I should specify--I got the computer and display and ipod mini and extra ram, et cetera, because I am the student and get a discount on everything. Of course I got it with his money and it's his. :D Strangely enough, I saved him over 400 dollars, not counting the free ipod my sister got out of the deal (I'm perfectly happy with my ipod and 4 gigs isn't enough for all my music) So all in all it's insane, but at least we planned ahead? I dunno. What I do know is that the machine and display are fucking beautiful and it's so blazingly fast, omg. Halo looks pretty good on it!!! Anyway, Brian and I were more excited about it than my dad was, I think. And dont think he's completely splurging--he wants to get back into music composition (he likeses protools) and his titanium powerbook is starting to give him major problems. I'm happy for him, but I have to say it--the price of that computer would have paid for one quarter of my housing costs! Heh.
So today brian and I went swimming and that was very nice since it was about 100 F here.
Oh, right. I started my job at Mervyn's yesterday. I spent seven hours straightening clothes all over the store. It's a soothing process though. My actual job will be a cash register position, they just had us fold clothes and straighten pillows to get acquainted with the store. Good idea if you ask me.
Anyway, i guess that'll be it for now. I think I'm gonna have to go download terragen and see how fast it renders on the G5 *squee!*
