i m having a *sugarmountain moment ..(dont get it? get edumacated here, and then heredont come back till u do get it..
k
so i ve been debating/desperatley needing a new desktop..its long overdue (prsent:g4 sawtooth AGP circa 2000) ive stuffed memory to the max and its worked soo well for 5yrs..but going from my pb to it ,to do anything other than grab files feels so tedious and slow….Anyway..i m perusing sites looking for ideas….new machine or upgrade hd ?
as i go through my apple seller bookmarks and am pricing options..i hit a site (no names-must protect those still innocent)
with a cute applelovers vibe.and i feel all safe and muse over how nice it is to be macbased and have these lil mom n pop shops who dont sell you bad memory etc they’re just nice creative geeks up in vermont or the like…just like you in their mac loyalty/love….when i suddenly hit the wrong link..and get the exact same page… ‘cept its the PC version..selling youthe same pc based gear written with the same m+p vibe.. then it floods me..
the last 9 mnths of frustration disillusionment and ultimate heartbreak..apple sold out.
my apple..the apple II makers.. who caused me to beg my way 2 computercamp in 1984… ..that i do what i do because of…they who i have invested all my money in….they whom i always fiercely defended and have converted so many non belivers to….
think different?
im starting to
they are betraying us..they are becoming the enemy..the safety net that we are special and different and a small *slightly smarter creative* group..all in this together.. if something bad happens….they will be there.
uh-uh
how about the support site. a fucking joke.
my first hint of dissilluisionment?
when i bought my latest pb i was a little embarrased by the .mac sales drive was just that..a little embarrasing ..like;oooh apple are u really trying to push 100 dollar ‘membership’ for a 15 mb email account and a tiny piece of timeshare on a server that you control?
i just justified it with: ‘well…its a way for the kids to make some money to perfect some more cool stuff …’
nope
the upgrade disasters are one thing..i trully am ok with bugs occuring…i actually used to revel in those first stages of stuff..knowing they loved us and trusted us to shaare our exps so they could be working on fix asap.
nope..not anymore.
they ignore me, persistent crap issues ? ..posts to forums on their PAID support site? .. they just silently ignore
drop 3400 in their store..figure out the printer u got doesnt work?
go back.( the same day)
not our problem.call the maunfacturer.
nice.
did you go to billgates charm school ?
apple is away from their desk right now..
too busy churning out new shit for the ipods
better faster more more more

d mom me drive to van nuys to hit the car dealerships this afternoon.
these guys were wetting their pants
picture this: drive in in a huge expensive gross polluter of an SUV..d and i both in denim miniskirts(planned-Nawt! ;actually only realized this upon reflection right now..)
d and i all focused and syched slinging words and q’s referring to ‘cap costa’ and buy out price’..which we’d leared on the drive over.
..m with waspy bling look in full :linen ‘slouchy-suit’ louis vuitton bag and polite Canadian inquisitiveness…yet disinterested enuff to cause george and his nigerian peers to think they had a mommy ready to write a check for whatever was gonna get her overaged brats out of the big-car-talk mode.(.in vannuys on sept 11 at 5pm of the hottest day of the year.)
who wrote this shit ?the script im living in.if nothing else, as i ve mentioned before..i can be a little existential on here and observe the absurdity…of my life.
to top it all offf we decided to go buy (not a spelling er) billiondollahbabes sale.
i had succeeded in forgetting about this epic clothes expo all weekend( it started thursday eve , i think?
but Nope…all of a sudden we r at the palladium and rifeling thru crazy shit…awesome overwhelming…not prepared at all..
walked around picking out things that were necessary to my grossly unnecessary unfilled consumer side.
Best save of the week: ex boyfriend was there..first person i saw…and it distracted me enough to do without getting manic about clothes fix.
he looked really good..happy relaxed sweet.
it was the nicest feeling to be in that banter of charged familiarness that only ex’s bring up.
he seems trully happy.
right on.
i forgot what i like in life..what im passionate about.
lately,spent time thinking about some boyss and my relationship with them and seeing how it might be effecting my world and who enters…without malintent…but maybe hindering me nonetheless.
i always think im going to end up with booby prize..in the friend dept life dept .not consioscly think it…but its intrinsic i act as if i am not even in the running.
synchronsatic neil appears again..
who the fuck are/were the eels and where r they now and how come i didnt get to see them.
this guy his lyrics voice affect me same way neil did in highschool.meloncholly-ish his slant is the positive thing bright side looker..like me.
love him.
must go online see if he plays anywhere ever
