A month and a half ago, I purchased a brand-new iBook G4.
It’s 1.42ghz powerPC processor, 60gb Hard Drive, 512 Ram, superdrive (it writes DVD’s and CD’s), 14″ screen…
It is the most lovely machine I have ever laid my hands/eyes/brain/etc on.
This computer is my dream come true - you click on ‘mail’, and you just get mail.
I can photoshop with ease and when you open and shut the lid, it just goes on and off.
The fan never spins up quite as loudly as a PC.
… Yes. It is an awesome computer.
I highly recommend buying a mac.
Oh! And hi, I’m Aimee.
I’m a student at University, I am studying for a Bachelor of Arts majoring at Screen and Media Studies.
I was going to graduate at the end of this year, but my plans changed and I am staying next year to do honours.
I flat with Thomas, Alex and Karl, and Chang is also a good friend, who I flatted with last year.
That’s me.
My name is Chang Hyun, but you can call me Chang (”Chung”) for short. Me, Tom, Alex and Aimee are taking a Games Studies paper together this year, but we’ve all been mates (including Karl!) since last year when we flatted together, although Karl was in the other flat. I’m into a whole bunch of things, but to keep it short I’ll just list a few:
Last film watched:
The Machinist - A disturbing film, I had Fight Club flashbacks all over the place. A real psychological thriller, which can be a downpoint for some people, as it does require a bit of thinking. And jeebus, was that guy skinny or WHAT!?
Last game played:
SWAT 4 - Pretty fun, great interface, easy to use. Realistic damage, requires some thought and tactics. A bit of ‘a thinking man’s FPS’. Although I still can’t trust myself with lethal weapons, so I take in a tazer, pepper spray, and a green shotgun that fires beanbags. Hot.
Last book read:
Just finished reading Angela’s Ashes. A great book, really enjoyed this one. Paints a poignant image of poverty and catholicism. I don’t know why but that book makes me feel hungry.
Alex, Aimee, Karl, your turn.
I’ve invited a few people to join me on this blog to get some different perspectives. So without further ado…
