Anyway, I've been lusting after a Mac for a few years now. A friend of ours has a couple out west, and I've always heard such good things about them that I am naturally drawn to play with one whenever we go to Best Buy. This year, at last, I had the opportunity to buy one.
So I did. An iMac that just barely fit within the overhang of my desk. I won't bore you with technical, geeky details, but allow me just a moment or two to effuse about how sleek and modern it looks.
It is beauty within a square. It has some killer curves and it's.... slim!
And the things it does....omg. I have never seen my photos this clear!
I have a new obsession.
Podcasts.
I thought the Yarn Harlot had a podcast, so I went looking last night. No luck, but I did find Cast On, and instantly fell for Brenda Dayne's voice. Listening to her is like sitting down with an old friend and visiting while you knit. I listened to four of her podcast installments, and the only reason I stopped was the fact that I was tired!
You should really check it out. Seriously.
I haven't gotten a whole lot of knitting done lately. It's all been about work. 10-12 hours a day. There's a lot of pressure to get the store and my books up to snuff, and this is the only way I know how to do it... for now. Oh, I want to knit. I have the baby blanket I'm still working on, and the little hat I mentioned before is for a friend of Tammy's. I'd be tickled if I could knit at work, but I can't see that happening. someone would piss me off and I'd run them through with a knitting needle.
I wonder if that would constitute a charge of assault with a deadly weapon?
