Avenue C & Eagle Drive

I have written the script for my TV spot for RTVF class last night. It took all of twenty minutes to create an ad for the Special Golden Special Commemorative Edition Barack Obama Swiffer Sweeper. It’s mostly just silliness, but the technical aspects required are all there, so it serves the purpose.

I also bought my first mac this week. No, it’s not one of the new ones, but I got the previous-gen mac mini at the UNT Bookstore for a steal. The sale discount plus my Apple student discount made the final price of the entry-level machine $459. With the money I saved, I bought iWork and a new printer. Everything worked perfectly out of the box, and I’ve been pretty satisfied so far, but it could definitely use some more memory, since the base model only came with 1GB.

I’m also gonna give NaNoWriMo another shot this year. I hardly even got started last year, but now I’m trying to  build on a completely new story, kind of like a Kinky Friedman novel, so hopefully it works out.  They’ve also raised the word requirement to 50,000 words. It’s gonna be a hell of a challenge.
