I got the hook up on a discount for both an iPhone and a new iMac. Yes, right now Nic is severely poorer but in nerdy heaven. I've had my faithful G4 PowerMac since 1996 and it has served me very well over the years and I will always hold a fond place for it in my heart but dude... if my iMac was a lesbian I would go to glamorous New Jersey and get civil unioned with it.

20" screen, 2.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 320GB hard drive, and 4 GB RAM.

:::Sigh:::

So pretty, so very very pretty. I also love my iPhone but fear seeing my huge itemized bill. I know my bill won't go up because I've had Cingular/AT&T forever and quite like their service but apparently they itemize everything so even though I get unlimited access to the internets I will have each visit to the free internets itemized with a nifty $0.00 next to it.

Stupidly hilarious, no?

I've downloaded iFuntastic, shhhhhhh illegal mod, which allows me to put custom ringtones onto the iPhone. My favorite ringtone thus far is this one which I call the most dramatic ringtone ever. See if you can guess the the song and artist it comes from before you see it revealed beneath the LJ Cut.

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) by Journey! Or at least the super dramatic delicious end to the song. Yeah, I'm a sad Journey fan. I admit it now. Especially of that song.

Right now I'm working somewhat hard on getting ready for Yurisai and my two panels. For the American Comics panel I'm gathering nifty pictures to share which feature the characters/couples we're talking about to give nice visuals for those who come and have no clue what we're talking about. I'm also working on a somewhat lame looking flyer for that panel which has links for the series and characters. Though good links are hard to find. For the Fanfic panel I'm doing another flyer type thing which is basically going to outline some of the writing concepts we'll be discussing and will have good fanfic/bad fanfic examples on it.

I'm going to start writing that this week. Most likely tomorrow. Hopefully Sean, who is in charge of panels at Yurisai and is on the Fanfic panel with me, will find my dinky writings acceptable. Especially the bad fanfic writing examples which are... well, pretty fucking bad if you ask me.

How fucking bad? My favorite bad fanfic writing example is for plot which focuses on a story where Makoto from Sailor Moon is addicted to drugs and Ami catches her selling her Henshin pen on the street for another hit of Crack Cocaine. lol. Yeah, that's bad. But funny! At least, that's what I hope people who read it think.

The battery life is really good. It can get drained fairly quickly if you're watching a lot of videos but that's really the only downside to it. I find it lasts very long if you're calling, playing on the internet, searching email, using iTunes. It's only constant video use that drains it fast.
