because Santa was very good to me this year! I got pretty much everything on my list that I asked for. Right now, I'm typing this post on my new ASUS eeePC. I absolutely love it! It's so tiny I can take it anywhere. For the first couple of days I didn't even get out of bed until well into the afternoon because I was able to just pick it up and check my email and read the news and do everything online I wanted to right in bed. Although, I am still geting used to the keyboard, and I tend to make more type-o's on this itty bitty keyboard. It seems to follow the rule that if I hit more than one key (accidentally) at once, nothing registers. So I often find words that have letters missing and need to be filled in. Other than that I'm a little disappointed with the battery life and video playback doesn't work with some flash players (like the one on facebook). But I love the simplicity of the linix system.
I also got a new GPS! Totally unexpected... I thought I might get one big thing on my list but the GP too? Awesome! I haven't gotten to really play with it too much, since I haven't gone out of town with it yet. But I think I might be driving to knoxville in a couple weeks, so I'll get to mess with it then. Maybe I'll have it find me a new route to Greensboro tomorrow... It's pretty nice, has a big touch screen. It only has one voice, but that's ok cuz I like it, I just wish I knew her name. I like to refer to GPS's a lady... it's more fun to go 'exploring' with a friend (that's what my mom always called it when we were lost... 'exploring').
AND... I got a tiny little,, cell phone sized HD camcorder! It runs off two AA batts and an SD card. I haven't played with it much either, but it seems like it will be a lot of fun. I have no excuse not to get vids of my dancing now...
I got a few other things as well... lots of gift cards, a new travel case for toiletries, a huge 16 GB flash drive and some other fun stuff too. This Christmas was like I hit the jack-pot! ... I wonder if my family feels bad that I just lost my job, and if they're trying to make p for it with cool stuff... nah, they're just cool!
Then, with some of the cash I got, I bought Guitar Hero World Tour. Its a blast... already gone through with the drums, now I'm working on the bass.
But, I think I'm gonna have to cut this short... it seems that carpel tunnel sets in a lot faster on these tiny little keys...
until next time!
Later that same day...
