Back in the Saddle, kinda

Well I made it. After a strange day of sitting around they put the funny hat on me as a signal that it was my turn to spin the wheel and in I went.

They gave me the usual prep of asking me the same 4 questions over and over
while I am getting ready and then when you least expect it pop your out. No, “Count down from 10″ no, “here we go” just waking up in a different room with a cast going “What the?”

The rest of the day was easy, cause for the next 18hours I just slept and rolled my
eyes around at home. The trouble started about 1am on Friday morning when things I guess caught up with me.

Friday was bad time of throwing up my shoes so many times I wasn’t sure if they were really mine. My world was reduced to the distance between the bathroom and the bed. Me and prescriptions drugs don’t really get along and my kidneys were fighting back. Alanna, bless every inch of that green eyed soul, went and got me some sort of strange anti-nausea medication that seemed to keep my shoes or whatever was left of my stomach in its place. The rest felt like a highschool football game in the rain: “Inch by fucking inch”.

Water – sleep – crackers – sleep – juice – sleep – broth – sleep – 2 bites of toast – sleep – water – couch – tea – sleep

The next thing you know you can eat half a meal and make your way by yourself to the coffee shop for tea and five minutes in the panhandle looking at the sun like its your very own personal invention.

As of today I am back at work and kinda pulling myself together. Inch by MFin inch.

Ain’t that the way..

Under the Knife

Tomorrow morning I go under the knife to fix my right arm that was broken in a motorcycle accident over a year ago. Normally this would be no big deal, but this time its a little different because I have never been put under while someone is picking apart my appendages. Every other thing that has been done to my body I have been awake for.

The nervousness about this is mainly due to the fact that if something gets screwed up it could affect not only my livelyhood but also my artistic outlet. One wrong move and bam your fingers don’t work right anymore.

Science has come a long way. They are giving people new faces, robotic limbs and new hearts, but I swear if they *&# up my arm I am going to do some serious ass kicking.

Apple Ho Hum

Once again I am left with great expectations and little results from Apples much touted releases.

Apple TV…
Well its not really a TV or even a TiVo like device. It is a bridge to play content from your MAC that you purchase through iTunes. It is not even a DVD player.
So what exactly did they accomplish? You now have a way to play the movies and TV shows that you buy through iTunes on a regular TV…. Thats it…

Apple Phone or iPhone
OK, you got me here. This thing is beautiful. The touch screen movement and scrolling is super cool and the way you can zoom into things using touch is so
hot. The thing that really got me was the way it moves from portrait to landscape. They really kicked ass on that one.

You know what might killed this for me? The price and the provider. This is a very expensive iPod nano that locks you into Cingular wireless and you don’t even know how Cingular will lock you up with ringtones, images, wifi and the like. I reserve my judgment on this until I see how it works out with Cingular but I am skeptical. It could be great or it could suck… One thing is for sure. It looks hot and it will change how cell phones work.

I am much more interested in OS-X, lets hope they don’t fuck that one up by turning it into a toaster or refrigerator….
