Shiny Things

I HAVE A NEW LAPTOP!

It's a Macbook Pro, and it's so pretty, and shiny, and wonderful!

Err... not that I've actually turned it on yet. It's currently busy getting the battery charged.
But I drove home last night with it in a big cardboard box next to me, patting it affectionately whenever we stopped at the lights. I'm so excited!

Now I can actually chuck out my old dumb computer that keeps doing things wrong, and use this new one instead.

And it's so little! And sleek! And funky! Woo!


*sighs a happy sigh of happy*

Random Point

It really is quite jarring (now that I'm reading the Discworld novels in order) to read a paragraph which identifies a woman as an "Ankh-Morpork seamstress", and then suddenly realising that she actually makes a living by sewing things...


(Does anyone remember which one of the novels actually started the trend of using "seamstress" to refer to... um... seamstresses?)
