insert *i could have had a v8 * sound- really loud

Remember how when I got a new computer I was too impatient to save for the MacBookPro and instead figured a regular MacBook would do the trick?

Remember how I was a little peeved at Apple for not mentioning that the regular MacBook did not have a firewire?

Remember how I was disappointed that my new computer did not recognize my dv video recorder?

A series of events (which included Mr. Sophanne getting lucky at his favorite casino and the acquisition of a compatible video camera) sent me to the applestore to find video editing software. Seeing that the software I was looking at was $400 (and slightly out of my price range) I clicked on "education store." There I found my school and discovered that I could get the same software at a 60% discount. I also found a MacBookPro for the same price as the lesser machine I am using now.

Aargh.

At any rate, August may very well bring some "amateur high tech" video editing. Something that I was not able to do with last summer's vacation video plans. I really don't know what I'm doing but I think it's all so cool.

In knitting news- Matilda has her third pattern repeat. I am on sock number 10.2.

That stuff happens to me all the time. It sounds like you'll be having fun with the new software, though!!!

Oh, I hate it when that happens! I compulsively check eBay auctions for things I've just bought, trying to see if someone else got the same thing for a better price. Why? I have no idea. If someone does, I'm upset. If no one does, I keep checking. Twisted, I tell ya!
