Let me entertain you ...

I promise to stop banging on about this soon but the novelty of the new laptop has still not worn off. 

I now have photobooth!  This meant that for about 40 minutes today I entertained myself by snapping pics of me making silly faces at the screen.  Simple things ...

In other news this weekend, my husband finally arrived back from his trip to the States, we spent a weekend of eating, drinking, going to the cinema and shopping.  It was lovely to just spend time with my Valentine after his trip away although sadly he is now off to South Africa :(  Just in time for Valentine's Day ... 1, 2, 3 ... aawwww.  Bah, Valentines Day is such a farce anyway! 

Movies viewed this weekend were Peter Mullen's NEDS and Black Swan.  NEDs is set in Glasgow, depicting the life of a young boy from a deprived background who gets involved in Glasgow's notorious gang culture.  Tongs ya bas, anyone?!  Good film but still think NEDS was the wrong title for it.  Anyone outside of Glasgow going to see it will really need subtitles and anyone going to watch in Glasgow, be prepared for hysterical laughing at the coarse language and and extreme violence... what can I say, we have some sense of humour up here!! ;) 

Black Swan was the ultimate anti climax.  I was promised an erotic violent thriller.  It was an interesting psychological drama but I was expecting to feel traumatised after hearing the reviews.  Not at all.  I wouldn't say it was a bad film at all but it was hyped up way beyond my expectations.

Anyway, weekend is almost over ... time to chill out and enjoy the last few hours of down time :)

Hello Lover ...

Often I have shared a moan or three or four about my laptop woes and how badly I needed a new one.

After researching many laptops including the Dell Inspiron which was a front runner at one point, my heart still leapt everytime I wandered into the Apple store and had a play about on one of their many design led, super functional computers.

Well after many visits to the store and years of dealing with a chanky old laptop, my partner in life and crime came back from the US this week brandishing a spanking new, glossy white, delightfully intriguing and in full working order, Macbook.

I have even attempted to watermark my photo thanks to my new laptop
... miserable fail though.  Advice appreciated! :) 

Literally after minutes playing with my new macbook I knew this was it - my life had changed forever ;)

Sounds extreme but it's a wee bit true.

You see my old laptop would crash 3 or 4 times in an evening.  It took hours to upload photos, save images, check emails, write blogposts ... the list goes on.  Replying to emails was so difficult on the old laptop, many went ignored.  Don't even get me started on how hard it was to view other blogs or comment on them.  A simple blog comment could take up to half an hour to execute.  YouTube wasn't even an option.

Now if I want to blog on an evening, I can come home, fire up the Macbook and I could very easily be done in a half hour or so .... plenty time to pamper myself, read a book, meet friends, watch a movie or dare i say it, tidy my flat!

I am so stupidly excited about the delights of my new laptop I almost don't know what to do with myself or it.  Already I have taken to twitter for advice on the unconventional keyboard and tonight I think I will get my head into the instruction manual.

Geek out!
