Austin's Lesbo BBQ

Top three things I've found out about my new computer:

1. Its a "laptop".

B. This means I have to pay extra close attention to my cats. They like to focus their attention on whatever my attention is focused on...whether it be a crossword puzzle or a large technological investment...whatever it may be, they like to lay on it.

III. Wires get in the way. With my old computer, the wires were behind the desk. So what if the cable modem, stereo and mouse are plugged in? The only thing I had to deal with were the peripheral mouse and keyboard...not so much with this "all in one" miralce. Sure...everything is compact and portable..but, what happens when I want my non-portable stuff to be connected? Pure chaos, I tell you.

This leads me to...

Top three things I've found out about myself since aquiring the "new computer"* on Wednesday morning:

A. I'm not nearly as hip as I thought I was.

Two: I have a laptop. Where do I have to go with this "laptop"? Nowhere, apparently...my modem, printer, mouse and speakers still seem to be reluctently attached to the wall or other static fictures...future posts may or may not reflect this. One thing I know for sure, these things don't fit on my lap. "Check me out...I'm all over the place! No one can stop me...My technology and I are TOTALLY portable!" But...this is not the case. It may be that my computer has the ability to up and rouse itself to various locations, but as for myself, it apparently takes more than a sleek outer-casing and a fast processor to get myself moving.

And finally: I really prefer my baggy pants to my appropriate size-fitting pants. Which do I value more, comfort or apperance? This year, apperance seems to have taken a lead...but still, I hate the idea of sacraficing comfort. And I don't give a fuck what Old Navy, Cosmo, Oprah or The View says...there is no compromise.
