Well, I bought a cell phone. A T-Mobile. 60 minutes a month (day), 500 minutes a month (weekend). Won't bore you with the financial details. He told me it was the cheapest I could get for what I wanted, he's probably wrong, but it's a one year contract and I can deal with that. It's more or less for emergencies and getting together with people. Now I just have to figure out the thing. But suffice it to say, I've joined the celluar community now or ie. arrived. Thought you'd want to know. Scary. Next I'll be attempting to do the DSL thing and netflix. Not yet though. One baby step at a time.
Rented the first CD of the L-Word (1st three episodes), because incredibly curious. Half my flist seems to be nuts about it. Want to see why. Well not half, a small fourth, but it is a highly credible and respectable fourth of the list.
And, ahem...bought a nice little package from Amazon.com for myself. Thanks for the comments by the way and the reviews, they helped. I consider it my granny's belated birthday gift to me. And instead of being a purely practical
gift to myself such as the nightstand and cell phone, it's one of those gifts you just sort of squee over when they arrive in the mail, then set aside a few hours one day to indulge in while eating ben and jerry's chocolat fudge core ice cream out of the box. (Actually make that vanilla light - my stomach doesn't like chocolate fudge core ice cream any more.) I basically got all the one's I mentioned except Angel S5. Putting that one off just a bit longer. Will probably get it eventually - since it was my favorite season and so perfectly satirizes life in a major corporation. Also ordered Hammered by Elizabeth Bear. Read the synopsis - and would like to read a female centric sci-fi for a change of pace, particularly one with an older heroine. Most of the ones written by men have women who are 20 years old with big boobs. Heinlein? I'm looking at you. Plus? I like Elizabeth's writing style, been reading her on my flist for a while now.
Lovely, productive day.
Now watch me stress, berate, and second-guess myself over my purchases. Sigh.
