Krystian says "Love it" about Apple - 8GB iPod Nano Chromatics

Krystian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:58:44 GMT

I've been with iPods ever since they first came out. From the Mini to all of the other Nano generations, I own them all. ;)
This has been by far my favorite of them all and is the most aethestically pleasing to my eye (I'd recommend a case to protect it.)

Pros +
Sleek, stylish, comfortable in my hand.. The aluminum casing looks and feels great. The back click wheel really brings out the beauty in it.
To top it off, the screen? Clear, crisp, rich in color.
All that memory!
Not really in the way at the gym. It's small, very light, and because of its shape.. It's fairly comfortable in my pocket.
All the things in the previous Nanos, just more advanced.. And more colors to choose from.

Cons -
Apple changed the inner workings.. What used to charge your iPods now do not for the new generations and your iPod is always more than happy to tell you that on the screen. For someone who has been with them for years now, it's quite the hassle for all your accessories to suddenly be unable to charge...

Krystian says "Great place to get your education!" about Georgia State University

Krystian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:54:36 GMT

Academics- When I attended GSU, I thought it was easier than high school, now I look back and realize just how much work I did and am surprised I did so well. while exams are pretty much what you expect them to be, the papers and projects were challenging at times and really opened my eyes on a variety of topics. Whether it was writing a one page response on the differences between Martin Luther and Calvin, a 20 page research paper on blacks in Reconstruction era South Carolina, or just studying for an international politics final, there was a need to get one's work done and to study. Georgia State University definitely prepared me when it came to public speaking, international affairs, state and national politics, writing editorials and reviews and law.

The faculty was top par for the most part. The political science department and foreign language department are both very good. The professors were very helpful and rarely did I have to confront a professor with...

Krystian says ""As Hollywood agents worry about the demise of the town's lowing" about Arrested Development

Krystian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:49:01 GMT

Arrested Development truly is one of the best shows, new or otherwise, of the year: a laugh-out-loud, deeply quirky, and audacious series that has its own wacky agenda and dares to be delightfully different. There are few shows on network television right now that come close to matching Arrested's absurdist satire or twisted view of family crises. That the show mines its laughs by taking potshots at the filthy rich makes it so much more delicious.

Created and written by TV vet Mitchell Hurwitz (The Golden Girls, The Ellen Show) and executive-produced by Ron Howard and Brian Glazer (Howard's soothing voice-over narration gives this acid-laced comedy a folksy center), Arrested Development introduces us to the Bluth family, the type of upper crust, ultra-privileged family with flaws of Shakespearean proportions. Perhaps unfairly compared to Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums, whose children were failed prodigies seething with bitterness and disappointment, the Bluths share none of the Tenenbaums'...

Krystian says "Captivating show filled with witty conversations" about californication

Krystian — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:43:08 GMT

This comedy centers on novelist Hank Moody who struggles to raise his 13-year-old daughter, while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend Karen. His obsession with truth-telling and self-destructive behavior — drinks, drugs and relationships — are both destroying and enriching his career

Being on Showtime, Californication has plenty of adult language, adult situations (drinking, etc) and LOTS of sex and nudity. The characters are interesting, but to me, the story-line is fairly cliche. The ex (boyfriend in this case) who loves to have sex with anything that moves, the ex-wife that threatens to take away his custody and the daughter that has seen and knows too much about her parents and their private lives.

Krystian says "Portable and easy to use!" about Apple - iPod Nano (2 GB)

Krystian — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:30:50 GMT

I love my ipod nano! It's easy to use and import music onto. The small size makes it easy to take on the go. Although it's a wee bit expensive, it is worth it! I have found that it is difficult to import pictures onto my ipod nano. Perhaps it is Itunes that needs the fixing not the ipod. Aside from that, I would definetly recommend this product to any person who loves music!...
