This blog entry comes straight from my brand new 15 -inch MacBook Pro. Yes, "pro". As in "professional." Professional laptop-breaker? Perhaps.
I am a "computer person's" worst nightmare. I know nothing about technology. That seems insane to say in 2007 when computers are no longer dorky and we rely on them to live and function, but really. I understand precious little. My sole requirements for a new computer were the following:
1. Not heavy, or, at the very least, not heavy enough to break my nose
2. Pretty
And that's it, so this new one really fits the bill (I can't believe I just used that cliche-just because I'm reluctant to join the 21st century technology-wise doesn't mean I should talk like I live in a speak-easy). I'm basically terrified of breaking it, and I don't really know what I'm doing, but dammit, it LOOKS really cool. And that's what counts. I'm nervous of it getting scratched or something, so I've finally found a use for those dust-bags from purses and shoes that I have lying around (I'm rotating between Coach and Seychelles-I've found that the Juicy Couture ones are too thick and cumbersome. Maybe I should post this observation on some kind of Mac forum so I can get pelted with e-fury and cyber insults).
But I'm loving this Photo Booth thing. Is someone at Apple as OCD as I am about having something stuck in your teeth or on your face? Because I will use this constantly.
Apparently it counts down before it takes the picture. I wasn't aware of this despite the big red flashing numbers, so I now have a default picture that looks like I fell asleep while setting up the laptop. I plan on keeping it like this for two reasons. One, it makes me appear completely aloof and unfazed by this fancy technology. And two, because my eyelashes look fabulous in MacBook Land.
