Apple TV and The Beard Is Gone

Ok these were two short blogs combined into one.

Blog numbero one-o: Apple TV

So I’ve been hanging out in my apartment for a few days now and I’ve found that meals really could use some sort of entertainment.  I also have found that if anyone ever wants to come visit I need some kinda of entertainment as well.  So I was looking into many different options.  I thought about getting the whole tv package with Fios but I decided I wanted something a little more with my geeky techy lifestyle.  So then I thought ok I’ll just get Netflix and stream it over the web on my laptop.  Then I was like hmm I need something away from my computer.  I spend ridiculous amounts of time in front of my computer so I need something that’s a break from that.  So then I did research into these Netflix streaming devices.  I was JUST about to go with a Wii when I found the Roku… and then I was just about to go with the Roku when I discovered that Apple TV can stream it as well.

I then discovered that the remote that comes with Apple TV also works with my MacBook pro.  I also discovered that you can stream stuff in your iTunes and iPhone to the apple TV.  I also found it to be very sleek and cool and yea I just liked the whole deal about it.  So I decided to buy one.  And that I did… I stopped off at microcenter today and picked up a little Apple TV device.

Now, I have to hunt around for a TV that I like.  I’ll probably just get something mid sized at Wal-Mart.  Then I’ll sign up for Netflix and away I go!  If anyone wants to go TV shopping with me that’d be fun.  Just lemme know yo.

Oh a side note… my itunes/ipod seem to be psychic:

Yesterday I had a Death Cab for Cutie song stuck in my head “Expo ‘86” when I woke up in the morning… then on the way to work it came up on shuffle.

Today on my way home FROM work I got Thriller randomly stuck in my head…

I then got this Apple TV thing and opened it up even though I don’t have a TV… I tried the remote on my MacBook Pro for the heck of it and BAM…

GUESS WHAT THE FIRST SONG IS THAT COMES UP ON SHUFFLE?!!?!?!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!!??!

Thriller.  Yea.  Freaky.  Seriously what is THAT all about?

 

OK and now for part two:  The Beard Is Gone (the the tune of, the heat is on… do-do do-do doo do-do do-do)

So I broke out my can of Beard Be Gone last night and gave it a whirl.  It worked like a jiffy…. Before you know it my Burns were back in style and the Beard was off to a new owner in some other far away land.

 

I decided to take a horribly candid (but not really candid because I knew I was taking the picture I just tried to make it look like I didn’t know) shot of before and after.

These are bad pictures!  It looks better in real life.  I swear! (by the moon and the stars in the sky)

So bearded before shot:

My nose looks really big in this one… it’s not that big in real life.  It's just that I'm not all that great at graphing photos.
