Sushi and Friends!

We went to the feed store and bought the cats food. The cats are happy.
We went to the market and bought two weeks worth of cow and pig. The freezer and the humans are happy.
Then we met up with D&M (what should I call you guys?) at Buffet Palace on West Gate for lunch. I ate a ton of sushi. I didn’t even look at the rest of the buffet. I was there for the sushi and hanging out with some friends. My stomach and heart are happy.
And D loaned me an Acer Aspire Netbook! I have poked at it just enough to figure out which of my portable data devices best works to move files to it for reading on the couch. I was going to go buy a thumbnail drive today, but seriously, I have all manner of things that hold large amounts of data, so it seemed silly to get something new. The camera ended up being the best “portable hard drive” for the job, so I’ll use that for now. I’ve got some books on the netbook, and tonight, I shall be reading on the couch! Woo hoo!
Yup, I have totally cool friends. Now I can see whether or not being able to read and write away from the massive distraction of the internet (and email and everything else) at my desk means I get any more reading and writing done, as well as how well I like using a portable computer … without going to buy one first and finding out I don’t like it, or it doesn’t really mean I get more reading and writing done. I actually think moving away from the desk is going to mean some serious actual work gets done, because I have SO many distractions at the desktop, and I am SO easily distracted. Why, I might even leave the house and go to the library with the thing to totally get away from household distractions (i.e. cats, barking dogs, and so on) altogether! You never know! It could happen! Why, seeing as Austin has WiFi downtown, I might even post something from out in the world (like that won’t be a distraction)! ![]()
I’ll probably be babbling more later, but right now, the netbook is charging and my stomach is still digesting that ton of sushi, so I believe I’m going to go have a little nap. Stayed up too late last night and got up too early this morning. A little dose of snoozing will be good right about now. ![]()
