Apple Joy, Art Ecstasy

March 22, 2008 at 11:18 pm (blogging) (, )

Readers . . . I’m back! And I missed you all so much. What a week it’s been. I thought I was merely taking a quick hiatus to tweak the blog and plan out my new ideas. But in the midst of all that, my computer went kaput ( a moment of silence, please, for my dear departed old Mac. It served me well for a long time).

So on Monday morning, after sitting for standby at SVA, I walked into the Apple Store in SoHo, and and let out a sigh of relief. The black T-shirted Mac geeks were there to greet me, and I thought, “Save me, boys! Save me, my darlings!”. And they did, my fellow cult members. So for those of you who care, I am now equipped with the brand new MacBook and, more importantly, the smooth, gorgeous, brilliant Leopard 10.5. Wow, what an operating system. I’m a little obssessed. My head is spinning with wild dreams and possibilities! It’s pretty fun.

On top of all this, I am also hooked up to what is apparently a very new high speed connection known as FIOS, courtesy of Verizon. Something to do with fiber optics, which basically means I have no understanding of how it works. But I can tell you categorically that it is fast!!  

Even though I’m still setting up and organizing, I wanted to say hello and post for my regular readers. And I’ll offer you a little something more than just my “I got a new computer!” boasting: a reminder of what Museworthy is all about. Here, without backstory or commentary (for a change) is the perfect work of art to reflect my current mood, my hip new upgrades, and the overall pizzazz and excitement of my new start. And best of all, it’s a work by one of my very favorite artists. You all know it well. This is Jazz by Matisse:
