Okay, so this is probably the worst possible time for us to have bought a computer and got connected to the internet. Seriously, since I only have about 1499 pages of reading to do over the next 8 weeks or so, giving myself yet another way to screw the pooch seemed like a great idea. So here I am spinning my words into cyberspace instead of cramming “Major Considerations for the Implementation of Registered Pension Plans in Canada,” or some other such crap.
For those of you who have been coaching me on purchasing a computer, hu*cough*ey, I thought I would throw in some of the impressive details of our recent big purchase. Mark and I are now the proud owners of an adorable 17 inch iMac computer which has the following impressive features: 1.83 GHz intel core duo processor, 1.5 GB of RAM (expanded from the standard 512 MB), 160 GB hard drive, handy-dandy iSight camera and many other great features. And the truly impressive thing? I almost totally understood all the things I just wrote - I didn't just read it off the box. :)
In truth I must confess that I have had this computer for about two weeks and been hooked up with Shaw for about 10 days, and yet haven't gotten off my butt and started this blog, which will be a sacrilege to my "Blog Buddy" foursome out there. You know who you are. I find my style of procrastinating really interesting. Suppose I have something that would be worthwhile to get done - housework, go for a run, start a blog, call a friend or relative - I will often decide," no, I have to study," and opt not to do something. But...I still won't study. I will stare into space, pick up a novel I've read 10 times, wander around the house, open the fridge (thinking to myself that the fridge needs a good cleaning, but insisting that I can't because I have to study)...etc. So NEITHER studying, nor one of my useful tasks get done. Strange, eh?
Anyhow, now I have a blog. A place to share my a ruminations with friends, family and whoever should stumble across this page. Thank you to those who are taking the time to read, and lots of love to those I miss far away. Cheers.
P.S. Why does the spell checker not recognize the word "blog"?
