Real life were here is his lawyer Paul 1000 million

Monday, August 24th, 2009

No, the title of this post does not make any sense whatsoever. You might be asking: wtf is “Real life were here is his lawyer Paul 1000 million” supposed to mean? The answer is: I have no idea.

Last night I acquired some software (iListen) that supposedly automatically transcribes words that are dictated to it. The reason I did this is so that I can have something to automatically write down lecture notes for me. I know, very unsavory. But actually not, because I have issues and I never ever take notes in class, so if this works, it SHOULD help me immensely.

Emphasis on if.

To be fair, I haven’t really “trained” the voice recognition in the software, but here’s an excerpt of what it picked up from my conversation with my siblings and Noelle last night:

which owns a high averages love than men Mrs. of them up her in the that movement that moment in hot tub he will last year or uses careful life will live and usually here in India and they have let us how we get a calibrated busy time written and the that movement that they got Hello Ms. Sachs sides Newton: “Use the words that way that this, yes they can tell what “, that we want us since he only uses other remove said Ms. Sachs sides noon in those you’ve listened for so those loses his own fears that than those being my we are home: “With the that led a loan will where we is as Indian and then choose the Atlanta all you are on his fans at St. India must be a mother will hold Hi Juan Carlos

:wtf: (And yes, the title of this post is an excerpt also.)

Here’s hoping the transcribing works A LOT better once I’ve calibrated it!

Also I bought new shoes yesterday:

New shoez!

Only $12 at Urban Outfitters. Cute, ですね?

Gotta love Jew-y baseball!

Last night I went to a Phillies game with my stepdad at the brand new, gorgeous Citizens Bank Park:

Pretty The big screen

It was really fun, despite being hot and sticky as baseball games always are. :sweatdrop: I cheated on my diet (I mean it’s a ball game, come on) and ate: a hotdog, a soft pretzel, and cotton candy. It was delicious.

The Phillies creamed the Diamondbacks 12-3, which was pretty sweet, but the best part of the night was that it happened to be Jewish Heritage Night, which made for much more hilarity than I had expected. Below, the Philly Phanatic (and his wife) doing the Horah:

Obvs I’m not particularly interested in sports (understatement!) but I do love the occasional Phillies game. :smile:

And the saga of my healthiness attempt continues…

I’ve been working out every single day (took a break today, though, to give my muscles a rest), which has involved watching one episode of Buffy season 7 while on the bike (~41 min) and then a ton of ab-work. BECAUSE (dun dun dun) when I get a flat stomach, I’m going to get my belly button pierced!! Woo. Promise it won’t be trashy.

Also I’ve been eating well. Yesterday I had the best black bean salad ever, from a Brazilian stand at the local farmer’s market. It was just corn, black beans (the best ever), red peppers, onions, and lime vinaigrette:

YUM

Just thinking about it makes me want to go back and get more… :blah:
