After all this, I had to return it. Too big.

Get a MacBook. It's small, cute and a Mac. ;)

PS. If anything you got an awesome story out of it!

I really debated with myself during Thanksgiving about the MacBook Pro. I got to play around with it, and it is very cool. Lightweight, but solid. Fast as hell. But I kind of resent the sentiment out there that Mac = Cool. It's all marketing. The bottom line is that there is some core software I use which I'd have to re-purchase, and some other software that isn't even available on Mac. Altogether, I'd probably wind up spending an extra two grand getting a MBP as opposed to an equivalent PC laptop. It's just not worth the extra cost, time, hassle to switch right now. And I'm kind of curious about Vista. But I will still use our little iBook to write! :-)

With the new intels you can have dual boot.

And I dont buy in to the marketing, either. As good as it actually is. I buy in to the stability, the interface and the intuitiveness.

My guess is that Vista will pretty much be like OSX, but less stable. Just a hunch. ;)

What's even better than the dual boot is running the virtual machine (Parallels) where you can run WinXP while still being in OS X. Slick!

So I want to make clear, first of all, that my fear of drawers is NOT this kind of fear. They don't cause me to jump in fright. And I lose very little in the way of bejeezus when I see them. However, like Honey's fear, the root cause of my drawer phobia may indeed have something to do with a general uneasiness when it comes to magic and all things supernatural.

Just to be clear, when C says 'quality time,' she means she will watch anime while I go to the beach to catch up on the latest bikini fashions.

In all the places C and I have lived before New Jersey, I've always been aware that our neighbors could potentially hear us. And I'm not just referring to during the, you know ... play times. I'm talking about during casual conversations. Fully clothed. Just talking about things like tea. Or grits. Or the Tao of JD in Scrubs.

I've got a Tumblr blog and a few new content feeds, which I wanted to tell you about. But first, if you've been reading this blog for a while, I have to take a moment to ask: Are you okay?

One way to relax after a Sunday afternoon herding leaves is to have a couple of beers and sit on the couch with your hand under your belt and watch some football and feel good and fine and strong--and downright brawny, damnit, like the guy on the paper towel rolls--for having worked hard and for having cuts on your hands and dirt under your nails and an easy sort of pain in your muscles.
