I have a new netbook! It's wee and tiny and I can just stick it in my backpack and take it anywhere! It's also black, and I'm nearly positive that the one I ordered was blue, but it also comes with Windows 7 installed, while the one I ordered came with a form to send in to get Windows 7, so I'm not complaining about the color.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hil, congrats.
Merry Nothingness, javachik!
I love this.
I interupt this mockery of Christmas to announce, they finally fixed the elevator at work. Woot. And rumor has it, I will have a phone by noon tomorrow! Progress!
Carry on with the Christmas discussions. Have we mentioned Jesus was a Jew? So, what's the harm in one Jew celebrating anothers "birthday"? What? Just an observation. I'm surprised Hils office mate didn't mention it.
w00t for Hil's netbook (does it have a name yet?) and o_a's elevator (does it have a name yet?)
For now, it's named Scops. That might change later, but I seem to have an owl theme going with my computer names, and Scops seems to fit.
The guy I was having this discussion with wasn't my officemate, it was someone else.
Skipping to the end to share the funniest wedding email ever. Billytea, of course, upon realizing that we did not yet own BSG and requesting our registry info.
It is done! Congratulations to the both of you. Please accept this gift of deceit, mistrust and betrayal, the only way to start married life.
forgive my ignorance. what is BSG?
Battlestar Galactica. Hey, it's sort of like giving the newlyweds a toaster. A lot of toasters, even.
Pix, that is too funny! I had to put it in COMM.
See, he needs to get over himself, acknowledge that Christmas is Christian, but admit that he likes it anyway. Trust me, it will be ok.
As a mixed-faith couple, that is exactly what we do. We can enjoy each other's traditions knowing that they aren't our own. It's fine. (But I wouldn't choose to celebrate Hindu festivals unless I happened to be celebrating them with a Hindu. And neither would The Girl do Christmas if I weren't dragging her to my parents' for turkey and presents. And neither would I do Hanukkah if she weren't inviting all our friends over to hear stories about oil and elephants.)
Pix (and billytea), that's the best wedding gift message ever.
Little grammar edit. There was a missing conditional tense. Nothing to see here. Move along.
