What's warm, shiny, and awesome all over?

Oh happy day!

I write this post on my new MacBook Pro! It finally came and now I have it. I got it this afternoon at like 4:45. Talk about last minute before the weekend. I am so thrilled. It’s been a long time coming. Of course, I get the MacBook Pro like right before the new and awesome MacBooks come out, but that’s ok. I’d like to think that I have a system that will most definitely work well, unlike a newly released model with new technology.

So tonight I’m doing what any nerdy computer lover would do with a new toy. I’m playing, customizing, patching, installing, and experimenting. I also spent some time today organizing my Days of Our Lives files onto an external hard drive so that I no longer have to do my silly EJami work while at work. I no longer have to go in on the weekend, I can do it all here! I’m so thrilled about that!

Besides the great technology acquisition, I also acquired some new yarn at Shuttles today. I believe it’s my first yarn purchase of 2008. Crazy huh? I’m pretty proud of sticking to my stash, but also realistically I haven’t been knitting enough.

I’m currently in the process of making a pumpkin hat for my halloween costume. Needless to say, I’m going as a pumpkin. I actually think it’s going to turn out pretty cute.

Last night I went to dinner with some college friends in Denver at Racine’s. We had a nice time as always and it was good to see them. Sometimes though I have these doubts that they like me. I think I’m too distant and that makes them angry. I can sort of understand. I just feel so far away from them because I’m here in Boulder and most of them live in South Denver and Parker. Plus I’m not the best at talking on the phone.

This weekend I have quite a bit going on. Besides all my computer play and knitting, I need to continue making a logo for my friend Jason’s aquarium business. I’ll be going to an Obama rally tomorrow on campus, where there will first be a march to the Rec Center for early voting. I’ll be cheering people on as they go vote. Then after the vote, we’ll head over to the outdoor theater for a performance by Ben Harper and an appearance by Zach Braff. It should be pretty fun. Sunday night I’m going to a birthday dinner for my friend Tina, so all-in-all pretty fun times ahead. I’ll be sure to report.
