my new mbox 2 mini won't install on my laptop, not b/c i'm missing anything, but because i don't have enough RAM. minimum needed is 768 according to the box, but during the install, i got some number like 384. i currently have 256 i think, 1 slot is free, and the max i think i can go with each slot is 512. now, do i get another 256, or get a 512?
*sigh* frustrating.
i'll just have to figure this out tomorrow or monday and buy some generic memory.
honestly, who knew having serious fun with music recording was going to take this much of a hassle(with money)

until celtics can win one against the big teams in the nba(and i might debately say it must be a close game near the end), i can't really say they even are considered an elite team yet; they have the potential to be though. but all of their losses have come from one the elite teams in the nba, and not even from the west; all of them have been against an eastern conference team(woot, go pistons and magic!)

i hate when ppl talk out loud to themselves when they are trying to think. it's annoying. really, really, annoying. why? well, i start wondering if they lack the brain power and mental ability to think only within their head.

going to be fooling around with the mbox for most of tomorrow. i haven't bought the condenser mic stuff, and the looper pedal hasn't arrived yet, so it'll just be a lot of fooling around with the guitar and pro tools software; gonna try installing it on my cpu today and see how it works. i need to level up my guitar skills a lot before i consider writing anything(need to learn how to do sweeps, tapping, eh, there's probably a lot more, but those two stick out on my head). or at least, before anything i churn out can really be considered good on my part.
i've got a lot to think about and do even before i can start taking classes again(next main step to going to pharmacy school i think), but hopefully i'll get a part-time job and volunteer at some hospital while studying for gre's in the meantime(and cross my fingers that some nearby college will let me do a post-bachelor's type thing in order to take the classes i didn't take). the part-time job might be good both for beefing up the resume, and getting some other guitar pedals i'd like, but don't have cash for(ls-2 boss pedal and ge-7 boss pedal would both be great).
i still can't believe registering for the general gres took 140 out of my checking account. yipes. (but then again, when you don't have a job, you start becoming stingy about any large purchase). but it was good to finally do it, b/c then i would've procrastinated my studying even further. now i kinda have forced myself to have to do it(even if i cancel, i only get 50% back, so it's only worthwhile to take it once and do well).

i've been sincerely meaning to ask, why is it that most of the friends i know of only seem to want to play and talk about basketball when there's free time? are they that single-minded? or maybe i'm just unique in that regard?

tony romo's newest girlfriend is jessica simpson(previous one was supposedly carrie underwood).
-i sense newlyweds 2 occurring.
lions just falling apart. although it mightve had something to do with roy williams.
jessica alba is pregnant apparently; you know you're from the bay area and keep up with hoops when the 1st response outta your mind hearing that is "way to go boom dizzle!"
my attitude with the spurs is... strange. they border on the list of teams that i like in the nba, but don't crack the list. there's both times that i really like them, admire them(i still really like tim duncan, and tony parker), admire their coach, their discipline, etc. but there's a number of things keeping me from fully embracing them, including how spurs fans magically turn a blind eye to bruce bowen's dirty play; look, i'm not trying to say he always plays dirty, or that he's a useless defensive player if he doesn't use his tricks(similar to my attitude with karl malone; malone w/o tricks = still good player; malone w/tricks = deluded HOF player). but he has a track record; like that jump kick against wally; how do you explain that one in the realm of just physical, hard defense? ginobili should not be flopping that much. i'm sure i could go on and on. but then, i see or read somebody comment on the internet about how boring the spurs are, etc, and all i want to do is deride them, asking what they consider winning basketball to be, and that if they had the exact same personal as the spurs on their team, they wouldn't be complaining; i don't buy the fact that certain teams need certain markets(although kobe in la and the vaunted 4 in detroit seems to sometimes support this). most nba franchises would KILL to have the spurs' lineup. it's similar to how people say all this about the patriots, but you know all that talk would've died if the exact same lineup was in the sf niners.

got an email today, and good thing i am able to return the mbox 2 mini and get a new one(they're even giving me the labels and stuff to ship at back too, making it free shipping). too bad they won't let me return it for a refund though. but they will get me a replacement, so a completely new mbox as opposed to a refurbished one, while still saving about 35 dollars sounds pretty good. i'll still have to buy all the other gear though; condenser mic, stand, cable, pop filter, etc. it's just that that other bundle offered on musician's friend sounded a lot nicer; i essentially would've been getting 2 monitors on top of the mbox and condenser mic and stand and cable, for just throwing in around 40 dollars more.
point is, i would've avoided this and gotten the bundle in the 1st place if 1)i just looked around a bit more instead of instinctively buying the mbox immediately and 2)looked carefully at the package after opening it instead of opening the factory sealed package, and then realizing the cd wasn't there. i basically need to learn how to evaluate stuff after buying it a lot better.
