So yesterday and today, I've been trying to come up with a little tune to serve as the intro for my video diaries. I've made the channel icon and banner 80s-themed/vapourwave, in addition to my website's new logo, which is 80s-inspired, so I wanted it to sound 80s-esque. However, so far, though I've watched videos and dug through Garageband, I can't seem to find anything that sounds how I want it to. I've come up with a short draft, but even that seems a bit too simple, and the only 80s-style bits about it are that the drum loop I used was labelled "80s" and I used synthesizers for it that some guy on YouTube recommended. But alas, I had to resort to royalty-free music, though I think it's pretty cool royalty-free music.

I've also been watching some Sarah Millican clips on YouTube recently. She's a British comedian who has posted a lot of her clips as well as three of her standup shows to YouTube and they're hilarious! If I'm just having a so-so day, then I can pop one of her shows on and be laughing a ton and it'll just brighten my day!

Also, today, I (begrudgingly) went out for dinner for the first time since COVID, with my parents there as well. I had myself some toasted ravioli and french fries, which were both amazing, and my parents chatted with the owner for a bit before we made our way home. I also, of course, watched more Facts of Life this morning, which (other than two taped episodes I watched yesterday) were the first Facts of Life that I've watched this week, as yesterday, when Facts of Life normally airs, there was a marathon of Married with Children on. I don't know how long it was on for before I checked, but I looked at the TV guide feature thing on the TV at about 11 AM, and it was on until ELEVEN PM! How can you watch one show for so long?

Anyways, that's pretty much all that I have to talk about, so I'll talk to you all later. Bye!

Long time no see! Sorry the updates have been rather lacking lately, but school has been sucking up my time like a vacuum. First of all, my school just had our annual celebration of Rome's birthday that the Latin department puts on, which involved quite a bit of preparation. Today has honestly just been a terribly strange day, what with the celebration, and it really feels like it should be Friday already. Speaking of Friday, I have an essay on Beowulf due Friday, but I am way too exhausted to write that right now.

Also, the Apple event was yesterday! Those of you who know me well know that I'm a pretty devoted Apple user (except for my phone because of reasons), but I was in school during the Apple event yesterday, so I found out about all the new stuff afterwards. The M1 coming to the iPad Pro was probably pretty inevitable because of the whole "iPad-as-a-laptop" thing (even though I find that kinda infeasible for most people), but the new iMac was kinda unexpected for me! But I'll get into that in a moment.

The AirTags commercial they showed was super cool, especially the mini-cameo that an iPod nano makes in the couch world scene, which made this iPod fan quite happy. The iMac commercial also reminded me of another commercial for the iMac G3, which I'll embed below.



Anyways, the new iMac seems super cool! I have a 2017 21 inch iMac as my desktop computer at the moment, so I'm super excited for the new iMac when I need to upgrade! The only thing that bums me out is that there's less USB-A ports (which you have ot pay extra to get) and no SD card slot, but I suppose that was to be expected. I do have a USB-C hub with those ports that I bought for my 2019 MacBook Air when I got it though, if I can find that. Anyway, the new iMac's design is super cool! I'll embed a picture below, but honestly it's really pretty and I'm glad that they're returning the iMac to its colourful roots. I want a purple one! I especially love the pastels (I'm a sucker for pastels), and I think that the white bezel actually goes pretty well, even if some people might like it to be thinner.
 



Also, I've decided to start doing video blogs. I'm in the filming/editing stage of the first few episodes right now, but when the first few are done I plan to post them on YouTube, Vidlii and Bitview. I'll let you all know when I publish them!

Anyways, that's all for now, so I'll talk to you all later. Bye!
