Entering the high-tech world a little later than never

I'm typing this entry from bed, with Ralph happily laying across my feet. I guess I get it now why people like this whole wireless thing. It's pretty neat.

What's not neat is having to recreate all of my bookmarks, download all of my applications, and burn and port over all of my music/pictures/whatever. Oh well, I guess I have a project for the next century.

But my Jennifer is the bestest ever ever ever for agreeing to pay the extra money so that I could get out of Windows hell! It's so nice.

Yesterday was a trip to the mall followed by an impromptu dinner at Coworker Gina's house. Good times, except that I couldn't stop yawning and they kept offering me coffee and stuff. I dig me some Coworker Gina.

I actually went to IKEA on Thursday, and bought a breakfast tray for the whole sitting in bed with the cats and the computer thang. They have a nice little plastic one in red or white that has really good high legs. Most of the ones I've looked at have short little legs, that will fit over your legs, but not when you have a good comfy comforter on them (and that's of regular people, not people with legs like mine). The IKEA one is much better, and also communicates to the cat 'this is the area you shouldn't walk on', which he didn't seem to get before, when it was just sitting on my lap. *Then*, it was just an extrawarm extension of my lap.

Me, I'm afraid I stuck with windows, an Acer Aspire 3610, with a 15.4" widescreen monitor, which is crisper than autumn leaves. The West Wing wasn't on in this market on Sunday, so I downoaded it on Shareaza, and watched it in bed the other morning while eating honey nut cheerios and having a cat tell me he'd be my best friend if I gave him the sugar milk. Good times.

Sounds cool. Really, I think laying in bed with some cats is quite possibly one of the best things ever. Second only to laying in bed with a girl, of course. :)
