Open Heart Surgery
Becca and I watched the MTV Europe Music Awards last night. Borat was brilliant as host—genuinely one of the best I’d seen. But something nagged at me: 99% of the performances and nominations were American. It’s the Europe Music Awards. Where were the European artists? Robbie Williams, Rammstein—they were basically the only ones that actually registered.
I went to Gravis in Munich with Becca that day. We’d been spending all our time together lately, which felt good. Picked up a 1GB storage block for my Mac mini. The staff there is genuinely nice; the technician was friendly until I mentioned what I wanted to do. Then he told me it would be like open heart surgery
—the Mac mini wasn’t designed to be opened, and upgrading the memory meant voiding the warranty.
But I wanted more RAM, so I took the risk. If I disappear from here over the next few days, you’ll know what happened. I killed the machine. Wish me luck. It’s Friday, at least.
