Since having sold my laptop the other day, I haven't had much time (or a machine) to keep up with my regular posting.

Sooo, I thought I'd say hey from the Apple Store at the Eaton's Center in Toronto.

I'm posting today on a very shiny 17" MBP. I think I fell in love haha. This would be the perfect machine for my audio work.

That being said, I also tried out some Beats by Dre on my iPhone. These are the most amazing headphones I've ever used. They are the perfect headphone. They are very comfortable and you can't hear anything from the world around you.

In terms of reality, I've finalized my apartment and put the deposit down, so my gf and I move in on the 1st of September. On top of that, she won a 40" Sharp Aquos LCD from her work for making the most sales.

Everything's starting to fall in place. Now I just need to get a replacement hard drive for the good 'ol Powerbook, and things will be golden!

/idle chatter

Have a good day every one! :D

Thanks everyone!!

I've been using my iPhone for Internet access lately so that's how I can repy!

That said, I just left the Apple store with a brand new replacement iPhone because my other one was having issues, which I'm sure most of you read about in my thread last week.

The guy at the genius bar even said how slow my phone was acting and replaced it free of charge on the spot, no questions asked.

So needless to say, that made me happier about the while situation.

You guys don't even know haha!!

I got her addicted to Unreal Tourny 3 after picking it up brand new for $10... Well that, and Gears of War are her faves.

She always tells me how sweet the Unreal Engine looks combined with a good physics engine hehe..

Man you are really lucky, I have only found one girl that's into gaming and well, animal crossing isn't really gaming to me.

Yeah, I hear that. Funny, I have that game too haha..

She's a HUGE Final Fantasy/rpg buff.. But I'm slowly turning her into a FPS addict..

She said the sexiest thing the other night. We were playing UT3 and I opted for capture the flag.. She got frustrated with it and said "I hate this, I'm just in the mood for some fast-paced bloodshed."

I almost asked her to marry me. ;)
