Christmas was very good to me. i was granted the opportunity to update both of my computers at minimal cost. for my laptop i went from a 1.6 ghz 17" powerbook to a 2 ghz 12" intel macbook. for my desktop i went from a dual 1.8 powermac G5 to a dual 2.7 powermac G5. i can't wait to see how many instruments i can run at that speed with 4 GB of RAM.
with various other things including an iTunes gift certificate, a Dane Cook HBO concert DVD, also a speaker system dock for my iPod (for the bathroom), i made a good haul. then, as if it couldn't get much better best buy had a one day 50% off sale on all HBO dvd's. so we got all Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Carnivale. wow. so much to watch, so little time. school begins again on the 8th, and now i have to do well. i ended up getting a 4.0 for the first time ever in my life, so why stop now.
christmas at the inlaws. good times. no conventional turkey/ham here. nope. straight up lobster/shrimp/steak. i was ready (if you can't tell.)
we went for quite a few walks, mainly to work off all the garbage i ate, and all the sodas that went down so easily. didn't see any mountain lions, or scorpions, or black widows, or rattle snakes, but i did see a roadrunner (no coyote) and a lifetimes worth of cacti.
Sabino canyon. if it was just a desert i wouldn't like it, but when you add a dash of mountains anything is possible. would i ever move here? only time will tell (and a great offer from the U of A.) i won't say no.
the lefse grilling master. using my black magic to draw the mojo out of the potatos. perhaps one of the most important of the five parts of magic.
then it was time to take a dip in the 52 degree pool. AZ in winter is about as decent as you can get.

"Minimal cost" eh?!! Ok, share...SHARE, DAMN YOU!!!
As soon as I figure out which nut I'm most attached to, I'll tell you which one I'd give up to have that G5!!!
minimal cost in a "how much is this worth?" sense.
don't get me wrong. it cost me. i bought the powerbook a year ago for 2000, now i upgraded to the macbook for a cost of 300, because i sold the powerbook for much less. but now i have an easier-to-carry computer, which is much faster, with more options.
my dad updated his old(my new) G5 with an intel quad core, which left this one open. so i sold my old one and am to give him the money.
but for as much as i spend on peripherals, this shit is so expensive. i'm about ready to sell my body to...whatever.
Ready to sell your body? Well I know some people who know some people, if you know what I mean. Let me know when you are ready for a life style change.
Well I'm glad you had a good time.
NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!!
