Tomorrow's entry about tonight

Sep 03, 2012 03:49

I fucking hate this Mac laptop. I accidently clicked and slid something and lost my entire entry. I don't even want to retype it. Zero desire. All I want to talk about is my girlcrush on Mary McDonnell and how much I loved her on the lastest Major Crimes episode. My new apartment is a pretty sweet crib on the 12th floor of a brand new high rise in pretty much the heart of the Big Ten campus University of Michigan. I have a flat screen tv at the end of my bed. Perfect set up for drinking beer and squeeling over Mary Mcdonnell Major Crimes.

This is the part were I talk about my turntable. again. The system is SICK. The new transciever/amp/whatever is working perfectly with the attic salvaged speakers. The sound quality is very good considering the speakers have lost their covers, have been accidently painted and have spliced and stripped (by yours truely) speaker wire shiftily connecting them to the transcriver/amp/whatever box. Which is precariously balanced on the peach crate full of old records (the nails are starting to fall out) on top of the whole mess is the turntable who doesn't like when I physically move the needle - it likes to do it itself. Everyone who has seen the whole retro mess so far is very impressed and leds me to wonder when did I turn into such a cool kid? The wall above the record player system and around the tv is covered in vintage posters (recovered from the record albums themselves) a few recent purchases of mine along with other art works, magazine cut outs, canvases, postcards, and other eccentric things I decided would make a cool collage on my wall. Here's an idea: 


It's still a work in progress. But I am very happy at how my room is turning out. I just bought a wire today that hooks my ipod up to the speakers. But so far I've fallen asleep listening to a record. My favs are my two Bob Dylan records and the one Jefferson Starship a close third.
