Rough Draft

Another Sunny Day in California

Christy, Mary, and I went to the Valley Fair Mall this afternoon. Erik and I went there back in June, but we didn't stop in the Apple Store there. I checked that out, and of course checked to see if they had Soundtrack in yet, but they didn't. They lady I asked was all, you can preorder it though. I just smiled and said no thanks.

Then I went to Sam Goody in hopes of getting Ocean Avenue. They were sold out and said they'd have some in on Monday. Bah. I did pick up Brand New's previous album Your Favorite Weapon and Motion City Soundtrack's I Am The Movie. Motion City Soundtrack's single The Future Freaks Me Out is quite catcy, so since their album was on sale, I figured I'd pick it up. I'm listening to the third song now, and so far its quite good. I also very nearly bought The Ataris Live DVD and The Used Maybe Memories CD/DVD, but convinced myself not to.

After that I was wondering around for a bit and passed a Hot Topic. I thought, I guess there's a chance they'll have Ocean Ave, so I go in, past all the goth workers, and sure enough they had about 10 copies of it. Of course they were selling it for $15, even though it's $12 or less most other places. It's so good though, I'm just glad I finally have it.

The only other place of interest I went to was a book store. They had Snow Crash which Jeff recommended to me, and someone that went to the Ben Folds concert also said it was good. I thought about buying it, but I'm sure I can get it cheaper online somewhere, even with shipping.

Oh yeah, and we ate at Panda Express for lunch. It had been a while since I had Chinese food, and you can't complain about chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, and beef with broccoli for just $5.

Time to listen to some new music and continue work on Recent Tunes. I hope to have all the file creation stuff done today, so after that I'll just have to write the code for uploading files, which should be pretty easy. I also want to add Global Hot Key support like in Synergy. There's some sample code for using the Carbon Hot Key API on Apple's developer sample code page, so that should be pretty easy as well.
