ooh ooh my turn for pictures

Thanks so much to (e:jenks) for the photo resizing advice! Here are a couple pictures from Kenmore and the way my street looks (as well as pretty much every other street I ran by today). I'm also putting some pics from the housewarming party on the 30th. p.s. Happy birthday (e:lilho) and I hope you're all having a good time at the mansion!

And some housewarming party pictures for your entertainment...

estrip techie question

(e:Paul) ...or anyone else who may know...since the pictures I take on my digital camera are too big to put into my journal, what is a quick way to make them smaller or more compact so that they are the correct size? The only way I've been doing it is taking a picture of the screen and cropping out the picture that I want.

Granted that doesn't take THAT long but I feel like there must be another way. Oh and I have a MacBook, if that helps. Thanks people.

Roller Skates

Does anyone know where one would purchase adultsized roller skates for not a whole lot of money? I looked online today and the cheapest pair I saw was about $60. Considering we will probably wear these skates for one night (and they are doomed from the start because we will most likely get quite inebriated while wearing them)....I'd rather not spend a whole lot of money. So if anyone has any creative ideas....or any skates!!...NOT roller blades...let me know! Thanks :)

hangin in Pittsburgh

I'm currently sitting in the lobby of the Wyndham Garden Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. Well, kind of downtown. The college-y part of town. We are practically in the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon is right down the street. I'm here with a friend of mine who is interested in Carnegie Mellon and is having a voice lesson with one of the professors tomorrow.

Our hotel is not so great. We requested a non-smoking room and the room we got reeked of smoke. So some maid brought in a machine that apparently filitered the room, but once Willy told her he was a singer and didn't want to be in any kind of smoking environment, she got our room switched and now it is much better. p.s. (e:Mike) we are in two separate beds. I think they did initially have us in a King size bed but Willy changed that.

We ate dinner at a place called Joe Mama's. I had spaghetti and a 1/2 lb meatball. It was pretty good. The meatball made all the difference.

Wellllll I guess that's about it. Tomorrow we are going to walk around the University of Pittsburgh. Lots of things are closed on Mondays, let alone the fact that tomorrow is a holiday. Maybe if Willy comes back to audition I can come with him and go to the National Aviary who apparently has a big penguin thing and theres some daily event where you can "meet" an African penguin!!!

I feel a connection with this city because my dad was born here (and so was his dad)...and my parents both went to the University of Pittsburgh, and it's where they met. So I'm drawn to the city but I don't think I would want to go to a school here. But I'm looking forward to taking some pics and getting a couple souvenirs at the gift shop for the school. I really like seeing different college campuses and being in the atmosphere. If only I could figure out which one I want to go to for grad school....

response

So I think there maybe should be a feature that when the person who responds to comments in their own journal, the person that they are responding to gets an email about it. Otherwise, how do people know to check back on the journals that commented on?

Anyway to (e:Jason) , the four hot people I referred to consists of 3 girls ( (e:mk) (e:jill) and (e:diana) )and 1 hot gentlemen, also known as (e:Mike) . We are going to try to get to every Halloween party possible.

yay wireless internet, boo school rules

I am online at school using wireless internet! Hooray JFK!!!! The only really really annoying part is that I still have the stupid restictions that the students do, so I can't open up Gmail, etc. How annoying. But I love wireless internet and my macbook.

p.s. (e:Paul) and (e:Terry) and (e:Matthew) .. are you having a Halloween party this year?? Because I know of four people who would love to go to one...and by that I mean four very hot people who may or may not be on roller skates....!

Question for Mac users

So yay, I got my Macbook and it is super fun and I love it. I've been talking about wanting one as though it was some unattainable dream and now that I have one I'm not sure what to do with myself. It seems that life may be downhill from here.

Anyway I'm a little confused about this whole wireless Internet thing. We don't have DSL at my house yet, so when the time comes to set that up I can probably figure it out. But if I want to go somewhere that has free wireless internet...like the library or something...can I just like say like 'Turn Airport On' and it will set it up when I open Safari? Is there anything special I need to do?

My computer seems sad not being hooked up to the Internet. I still love it though. I'm using Voice Commands like it's my job. I'm so lazy but it's so fun. I also am obsessed with PhotoBooth. How fun is it to stare at yourself? (after asking that question I immediately thought of...

)

I'm even going to post some of the good times with PhotoBooth....

So if someone could let me know about the whole wireless thing that would be great.

GO JFK BEARS at Homecoming today!!!!!
