New! Computer!

The FedEx man started to get dangerously late. I mean, sure, I didn’t have to go anywhere until much later in the evening, but I also couldn’t possibly take a shower if there were any chance my new computer would arrive. Luckily, it finally showed up, and I was able to bathe. Sigh of relief.

Ooh. I think it fits in rather nicely with the Christmas decor, don’t you? That’s not its permanent home, but I want to gaze at it from the sofa for a few days. Maybe watch a DVD on its ridiculously hi-def screen. It makes those books look rather hodge-podgy and shabby, though, doesn’t it? I’ll have to cover them all in anodized aluminum.
I thought of a ‘quirky thing’ for all you quirky-thing-meme lovers out there. I was going through the desktop image choices that came preloaded on the iMac, and there are a couple shots of Earth from space. I cannot look at those. Totally creeps me out. It makes me feel like I’m falling, or at least teetering at the edge of something very tall. I guess it’s something in my lizard brain. Thanks, space-lizard ancestors, for making me freak out.
Anyway, I’m updating from my MacBook while the iMac happily sorts my music out in iTunes and copies work files over from my external harddrive. Later, I’m going to hold the laptop up to the iMac and make kissy noises. They can have a baby Shuffle.
