Hung out a little with [info]doombuggie this evening. It's really fun hanging out w/ someone IRL, I think I'd forgotten what it's like! I introduced him to the wonders of Jason's Deli. Baked potatoes of frickin' Paradise, people! And we found out that the Hancock Plaza Petco takes really good care of their hermit crabs. I was very pleased to learn this. Especially since they are fairly convenient for me to get to. Most of the crab stuff I get will be mailorder but it will be nice to have local options.

I'm about halfway through Kage Baker's THE HOUSE OF THE STAG and I am enjoying it deeply. Why is she not a more popular author? I have no one to squee with, and she is squeeworthy!

After discussion with [info]doombuggie, I have decided to save up for an Acer Aspire One. Does anyone have any experience with it, or with similar netbooks? I'm open to suggestion about what type to get it if is cheaper or the same price but better. Also, I'm not necessarily getting it from Amazon, it just has a nice pretty pic and info on the stats. The important part is, an inexpensive system that can get me online and plays movies and music that is easily portable. That way, I can get out of the house and go places with free wifi, and netsurf and chat and stuff while still getting out of the house.

So, gonna skip getting the microdermal and/or tattoo I was considering in favor of saving my Chanukah gelt towards a netbook. Maybe I'll even sell off some BPAL. And I'll be looking up where in Austin has free wireless internet.
