What I found out yesterday

[altogetherisi]

 Ryan Gosling is insanely hot.

I went to see Crazy, Stupid, Love and among other things I left with a lot of appreciation for him. Jesus CHRIST there should be some kind of warning.

Also, everybody should see this film. It has Emma Stone being awesome. I don't actually care if she's a natural blonde I think she looks amazing as a redhead. It has

My first laptop was a school-issued tablet; it was an ornery, piece of crap Gateway and I always had to bring it in for repairs, but I miss the tablet part immensely. The ability to draw and take notes notwithstanding, because that was awesome, I enjoyed just being able to read fic in tablet mode, like some early edition Kindle or something :D:D

This was, like, five years ago, though, so I have no idea what the quality of today's tablets are :/

I'm not huge on the drawing, because I'm basically terrible at all fine art forms, but essentially I just want something I can write on, and look at the internet on, and maybe read ebooks and listen to music and watch videos on, that I can fit in a handbag and comfortably carry around. I think iPads are too big and overpriced and kinda stupid though. So not one of those. But maybe a knock off version IDK. Kindles look neat, but I don't really get why they only do one thing, lol. But essentially I'm wondering about getting a small tablet PC instead of bothering with a smartphone, which was the original plan.

I want a tablet purely so I can have some form of entertainment/email checking/etc during the gaps between lectures. Either that or to use on the sofa when I get a place of my own and inevitably replace the laptop with a desktop :P

And while it's true that it's good that some of the minor Glee characters are getting plot... Why does Mercedes have to be such a bitch in her parts? :/

I basically want a tablet just because I now think my 10" eee netbook is too big. Which I say to people and they think I'm crazy. Particularly my brother, who has now done the laptop --> mega amazing desktop switch over you speak of, and finds the concept that I want something smaller absolutely baffling. But I want something with internet and typing capabilities that is smaller and lighter that I can carry around in my handbag. So I'm considering getting a small tablet instead of a smartphone, basically. But I'm not completely sold. IDK. Maybe I should just get a new netbook battery and get stronger.
(I also feel the pressure to ask for a reasonably expensive tech piece present for my birthday, but clearly I can't actually choose what I want. There's still Christmas to come of course, but in my family that's more a chance for a range of small gifts ie a stack of books.)

They've never really known what to do with Mercedes. I'm hoping it will get better. But yeah, honestly, getting her a plotline at all is totally progress.

I'm totally with you on the not-knowing-what-to-ask-for-for-presents thing, though. Mum keeps asking me what I want for my birthday, and to be perfectly honest, the only thing I want, aside from the usual list of books the length of my arm, is kind of out of her price range :P A new car would be amazing, though. One with power steering!

Have you not seen The Notebook? I knew Ryan Gosling was amazingly attractive from the second I saw it, which was probably a few years ago now :P

Glee is getting better in terms of plotlines. You'll be pleased to hear Mike Chang actually gets one a few eps in! :D

[altogetherisi]

I haven't, but I totally want to now. Oh my god though. He is actually amazing. I want to watch CSL again right now. So so gorgeous.

Yeah, I'm up to date on Glee - Asian F was the ep I meant was problematic and kinda stupid, but a better standard of bad than the bad of previous seasons.

[jasmine_rosalee]

I definitely recommend it, it's absolutely gorgeous!

Haha yeah, at least it wasn't as bad as Grilled Cheesus!

[altogetherisi]

I expect there have been wars that weren't as bad as Grilled Cheesus...
