did you have a Happy Christmas?
29/12/2008
This year instead of whining about KF not getting me a present, I got myself one, and put it on his tab.
Lest other wives attribute this fabulous idea to me, I’d just like to point out I got KF involved in the process – had him do the comparisons after I came up with an initial list, and let him make the final decision (all the while maintaining executive power to veto anything I wasn’t happy with).
And so, last night I ordered my netbook. Nothing crazy – it is going to be a netbook, not a Macbook (which I still maintain is the most hideous product Apple has come up with, ever). The difference in those two consonants and lone vowel works out to about $1k, so the choice was pretty easy for me. And even though Mr C so generously ok-ed the Macbook, I just couldn’t get past the black border and keyboard against the aluminium rest-of-it. That’s so 70s, even the stuff in the 70s would blush at it.
Anyway. My MSi Wind U100 something-something should be here next week. I should be all set for my trip home. Yay!
In other news, if your brother starts telling you to think about having kids, does that mean the family thinks you’re getting old?
In any case. I’m going to the corner to sulk. Later.
