hmc’s new macbook pro arrived yesterday. straight from shanghai. (how many times to i need to tell them that taiwan is better!?)
i tried not to waste too much time futzing with it last night (between that and reflashing my phone, and messing with the decks, and cleaning and and and…), but you can’t help yourself — it’s beautiful! 15” widescreen with the faster cpu and hard drive, and 1gb of memory on a single dimm (i’ll add more later if she needs it). to answer the burning question, she opted for matte and not glossy (i would have gone for glossy, but i’m more willing to put up with inconvenience for aesthetics, i think).
the next exciting(?) step is to try and migrate all of the stuff off of her ibook using the migration assistant, which we’ll try when i go down to lost angels this weekend.
oh, did i mention that she started a new film gig this week? she’s working on a film called mimzy, directed by the former head of new line. so far it sounds like they’re working out of a cardboard box in some alley in west hollywood, but maybe i’m just being overly dramatic. maybe.
i’m sure a new computer will help, right? it seems to help the homeless, at least.

Posted by: Ohbejuan at June 23, 2006 5:30 PMit’s running hot. don’t put it on your lap. i guess i could do the thermal paste thing, but that seems like a lot of work. but otherwise it’s fantastic. don’t be a mbph8r.
