not sure I like this new fangled technology
I've been reading through the Hugo award entries on my computer, so I can vote intelligently - or at least not based on whose name sounds coolest. I'm finding I'd much prefer to be lying on a bed with a paperback in front of my nose. Its more comfy and less hard on my eyes. Perhaps if I tech'd up and got a ipad I would be able to at least lie down and read, but I still prefer the ability to stick my finger in a page and randomly flick through, knowing I can get back to my page at will & immediately.

Arrr me hearties
In a continuation of my frivolous spending of yesterday, I bought boots on sale from rivers. I put them on and they made me laugh out loud, possibly not the best reason to buy accessories.
They have a flap at the top that makes them look exactly like pirate boots! I shall take a photo when I have something to wear them with. I should have dragged myself round the shops when Jeggings were in - I probably can't get them now and these will need something tight and not thick to go over. Bare knees won't cut the mustard. If I do make an outfit, I'm so wearing them to work on international talk like a pirate day on September 19. I'll even go to the chemist and buy an eye-patch.
On other news, I have the GPS working, so tomorrow I'm going to try "turning right in 300 meters"

frivolous shopping
This morning I went to buy my mother a mouse for her computer and didn't like any of the ones under $70. So instead, I gave her my cordless mouse and keyboard and bought myself a gaming keyboard that was on sale - microsoft sidewinder X6. So far so nice - glowy keys. I'll have to spend some time working on the macro keys though. The big plus is I can put the number pad on the left side. I also bought myself a car sat nav....haven't pulled it out of the box yet - but I have a long weekend and a new Wii game - ditto. I'm torn between playing with all that and playing with my new keyboard on LOTRO (since its a free travel weekend).
Did I mention that there were a lot of sales on today?
