Was out of commission for the last several days thanks to the death of the laptop Edy brought me in February...I was sort of going out of my mind by hour 2 of not having a computer. My mom said it was like I was grounded. It was kind of true.
Today was the first day I had time to go and buy my third laptop in 6 years...I bit the bullet this time and bought a MacBook. Mostly because it's white and pretty, and white won't show Currie hair as much as a black one. I kid, I kid. Actually not really. But seriously, since my first laptop purchase I've always eyed IBooks and Macbooks enviously and then talked myself into a PC as I really needed it for school: writing papers, etc. Now that I've been out of school a few years and am chained to my PC at work, I really only use my home compy for playing: reading gossip blogs, downloading music, watching movies, blogging...which is what that cute guy in the Mac commercials will tell you Macs are all about. And there I had it: my justification for finally buying the toy I really wanted instead of the sensible option.
So far, so good. Now if I could just load Soulseek onto the damn thing, I'd be in business.
Under siege due to fireworks craziness. Must go hide with Currie under the bed until it's all over...
