*Sigh* No Powerbook for Me

I had an awesome day today, I woke up, talked to the Tizz, and went to class, even though I wasn’t supposed to have class today. BUT, it was really nice to have a smaller group. I went to Hard Knocks with Bijan, and had a BBQ Bacon cheese burger…very very good. Then went skating at the “new spot” as the locals call it, at Indiana and Army. I got up on the ledges there, and I was so stoked! It was all about aligning my shoulders properly to pop at the takeoff. Anywho, I cam home and have come to the realization that I can’t afford the Ti powerbook 🙁

So I spent much of the day looking for reasonably priced laptops, and I have found an HP one for about 1600…It seems to have a bunch of good things, the only problem is I was hoping to have a 64mb video card and it doesn’t If I want that I need to spend about 1900…

So who knows, but I think it would help with work flow. I talked to Mikey last night for a while and he’s settling down…Ethan is still looking for a formal date, Jill is doing well in the B-Low, and her mom had a week of to go to Disney. Tizz made it home safely, and Kev and I got to skate this spot on Golden gate where I did a little wall riding (granted it was a bit sloped) and ollied over a bar, and I”m trying to ollie and land off a ledge, but kept chickening out on the landing. I still need to finish this writing for the Javits thing, as well as catch up for Tony’s class…I have a lot of writing to do.
