saturday was a red letter day

it was the day that i joined the digital age and bought my very first computer. it was actually a much harder decision to make than buying a house because i can easily justify having a place to live, but it is much harder to justify what is potentially a big time sucker. but i did it. he is white and smooth and shiny and sleek and oh, so handsome. i'm thinking of calling him manuel, mostly because he will be hooked up to my ipod quite often and his name is juan carlos. it makes sense. anyway, so i was kind of nervous about this purchase, but i charged ahead. and just as i was signing my name on that giant credit card receipt, i received a sign from above (the loudspeaker) letting me know that the gods approved of my purchase (luckily, so did the credit card company):

AND THEN, when i went back the next day to pick it up, i heard another song from my main man that only solidified my feeling that manuel and i are destined to be together forever...until i drop him.
