I did it

Finally ordered my geek toy I'd been waiting to get: the highly sought-after new Asus EeePC 4GB.

It's little, not much bigger than a DVD case! At $400 it's perfect for me. Now I won't have to be ashamed of my heavy and archaic laptop with no battery life. And I got a glow-in-the-dark star to stick on the lid, as my own version of the glowing Apple emblem on every MacBook.

Came home from Canada straight to two karaoke gigs, a dead truck battery, and a fridge that has decided to become a heater. The work party wasn't so great, but some co-workers are trying to set me up with a 22-year-old who thought I was cute. A little weird, but charming. Just when I got a date with someone over 25, for next Monday. But I'll go clubbing with those kids some Friday if they invite me.

Lots of parties this weekend and next! Sundays I'm set on swing dancing so I have to learn some stuff pronto.

Off to see a friend play in a band, later kids.
