Boo...

Weather Conditions: Some sun but now spooky clouds.

Happy Halloween! Instead of going out dressing up as the Michelin Man to go trick or treating, I decided to stay in tonight. Besides, I don't need anymore sugar in my system. It's kind of nice sitting on my bed with my notebook on my lap listening to some retro-karaoke on the new Mini.

Okay, clarification time:

1. I am using an iLap by Rain Designs Inc. The last thing I need is second degree burns on my lower body. Not to mention I really wouldn't appreciate saying "that's going straight to my thighs."
2. Mini refers to my new Mac Mini. It works very well as my personal entertainment PC. I am putting it through the paces, seeing how well the Apple Remote works with the DVD.
3. The DVD is a PolyGram Chinese Karaoke, featuring mostly late 80s and 90s music. Apparently that's considered retro nowadays. Man, it certainly makes one feel old.

Speaking of retro music, it was playing 一切很美只因有你 (Everything is Beautiful Because of You) by 陳慧琳 (Kelly Chen). It invoked a memory as a first year university student. Someone placed a bunch of posters around the campus with what I assumed was a confession of love. The funny thing was that the creator misspelled the English translation. So the poster had 一切很美只因有你 - The World is Wondarful Because of You. Yup, how Wondarful?

How's the Mac Mini? So far so good. The Core 2 Duo chip is nice -- the machine doesn't get too hot. Now I just need to get my copy of OS X Leopard; it's still in the mail somewhere...
