so i guess the first news of the day is the fact that i got a new macbook pro! pretty excited for this new investment (despite the fact that i got the new comp because of the fact that my house got broken into and took my old computer). but nevertheless... we look at the positive. we look on the bright side and the bright side is a beautiful new computer with a newly bought orange cover :o) you know i had to go there... although we have macs at work and dont use pc's often, its still a little weird and maybe surreal to have a mac at home. ive had a toshiba for the past 10 years or so. not only am i used to having the toshiba, but because my computer got stolen, ive had to reset all my settings on my computer, some which have come so naturally to me over the years that i probably didnt even know that they existed.
had a super long day at work today. we're working on this new project... the history of hockey in nashville. a look back at the past 50 years of hockey in the music city. my supervisor has been the main guy that's been working on it, but he's slowly started to need our assistance. and today was one of those days. we had a full day of interviews. our first interview was scheduled at 9.30am and because we couldnt set up the studio last night because of the britney concert at the arena (yes. i did go. yes. it was amazing. yes. she wasn't singing) we had to get to the arena early to set up all the equipment. as soon as we got everything set up, we started the interviews. didnt get home till about 7.30pm and was TIRED aka still am tired.
although it was an exhausting day, it was still kind of nice to hear all those stories about past teams that have gone through nashville. nashville has had quite a few teams come through the city. there was the dixie flyers, the knights, the nightflyers, the south stars, and i think that may be it. maybe another team, cant remember off the top of my head, but that's still quite a few teams in the past 50 years. so we interviewed past players, fans, people who now work for the preds, and people who are avid fans of the preds because of the hockey that they saw early on in their lives. it was cool to hear about people who have played, what the leagues were like, how it operated, how fans were, etc. it was cool to hear, but, towards the end of the night, i just wanted people to give one word answers. the last interview was especially long. felt like he was the best storyteller, but was telling really long stories. it was one of those... womp womp situations. yaddadamean??
i'm hoping that this new computer will bring more posts and more projects. i'm hoping to purchase a canon t2i soon... i really want to work on some at home projects. get to know the technology and the operating system of a camera. i feel as though by getting to know a camera, i get to know the mechanics of digital photography aka digital cameras aka videos. that's my hope. i had diddy (roommie) download some adobe software for me and i now have final cut. photoshop. illustrator. and after effects on my computer. i'm really hoping that i can utilize these new programs and really hone in on my editing/graphics skills.
lastly. on the topic of new places in nashville. courtney (other roommie) introduced me and diddy to THE BEST TACO/MEXICAN place in nashville. theres a place couple blocks from our place that is a little hole in the wall that is DE-LISH. they have maybe.... 5 options for tacos, a corn on the cob side options, couple of soup options, and some yummy fresh agua drinks. we went last friday night for din. the line was long. it was hot. dont think there was any AC. but it was amazing. i highly highly highly recommend it. me and diddy are going to go get it for lunch tomorrow and i am excited.
the end.
i am. le tired.
