Well ok, I guess I just really like to write about nothing. This is in no small part t the new laptop I got. Wow is this thing tiny. And I’ll guess I’ll lead off my 2008 Holiday Loot List with my new Asus EEE PC 1000HA. Off of Amazon (don’t buy shit off Newegg, they’re garbage), this thing was dirt cheap. I don’t think I paid tax or shipping. Did I mention it’s tiny? Asus led a revolution in laptops. This is actually classified as a netbook, a weak but extremely portable laptop. Testament to this is the 10 inch screen, feather light weight, and seven hour battery. It rocks socks… and awesome socks at that. Plus it’s white. This is my first white laptop, my others being various combinations of silver, black, and shades of blue.
As long as we’re on computers, I also got a new mouse. When I say new, I mean I just got it. The mouse itself is actually old. It first came out in 2002. Not exactly cutting edge. But it’s award-winning shape and feel along with razor sharp accuracy keep it in the running as one of the best mice you can buy. Here’s how awesome it is. I love it. It is also Ash’s favorite mouse. My brother uses one. Ash’s grandparents use one. It’s simply a bad ass mouse.
I got some shoes! Yea I know that sounds a little lame, but they’re… special? They’re Piloti Spyder SV’s in… black and white. Yes, I’m predictable. Anyway, they’re my first pair of driving shoes. But not only do they look cool and feel good while driving, but they’re also comfy and have THE most bad ass laces in the world, hands down bar none.
I got some snowboarding gear. A jacket, pants, and gloves… and I got the lot for under $90. Awesome sauce. Top it off with a beanie and simply stunning set of goggles care of Sam and I’m all set to sit freezing my ass of in front of my computer. The guy we were gonna go with ended up having work and we never rescheduled a day to go. Did I mention I also picked up as a jacket and pair of pants? She got her own gloves. We still haven’t gone. Just as well, the weekend we were gonna go I was sick as a dog… whatever that means.
Did I mention my new iPod Touch? Probably, but in a entry I never posted. I’ll go over it a little now then. It’s a 16 gig iPod Touch. It's the first gen one (which means it doesn't have a dedicated volume button or an integrated speaker, but it does have a brighter, whiter screen than the newer ones). In addition to being an mp3 player (it does that bit quite well), I can watch movies (read: Top Gear), and I got a ton of apps on it. This means not only can I play games, but I can also tap out quick journal entries and make notes about stuff to download or addresses to enter into my gps later. Handy bit of kit that is.
Ok, now to presents! I got money. Mary got me PJs. Ash got me a Moogle! And a Shinra business card holder (now I need to get business cards made), and a Cyclo DS, which means I have a little homebrewed DS thingy. Pretty awesome.
I should sleep.
