Just a funny day...




Today after pre-school, we had to go to the Mac store "Genius bar" to speak with a "genius" about how to make a movie on my MacBook. I have over a year of stored video on my camera, which Best Buy said was compatible with my Mac...and of course it wasn't. Now that I have a new program on my MacBook, I thought I would give it a try. I was very proud of myself that I was finally able to download to iMovie the 4 1/2 hours of video from my camera. I was not, however, able to burn it to a DVD.... Apparently, there are so many kinds of DVDs that some are compatible with computers, some are compatible with TVs,... etc ad nauseum. Two doctorates and I cannot figure out how to do this. They ended up saying that it has to do with "technical ability".... ha, ha , ha... so funny.... I have NONE. and that I must take a class to make the movie. Not going to happen!! (probably).
So... right at this moment, I am "making movie" according to my computer. We will see what happens.
Of course, when you go into a Mac store, you will never get out without buying some overpriced thing a ma gig. So, I eneded up buying an iSkin.... which is a thin, skin like cover for your keyboard. Very nice... cannot even tell it is there and now I don't have to worry about getting cookie crumbs and potatoe chips in my computer. Very overpriced though.

Jazzy and I were hungry after our MacStore ordeal, so we went to the Thai Cafe. Very funny that the Thai Cafe was really an Asian sports bar!!! It was pretty crowded with many Asian people - as well as some Caucasians... eating Thai food and watching FOOTBALL!!!- of all the things. Never seen anything like it.
