Meet Lucie...

Gracie's little sister. Isn't she precious?

That's right. I've finally given in to that coy seductress, Apple and bought myself a shiny new Macbook. Since I'm out and about at Willamette more than I ever was at Whitworth and I"m considering moving off campus next year, I decided that a laptop was a good investment. I knew I wanted an Apple because they have a great reputation for durability and not having scary error messages and stuff. Also, I figured if I had a PC and a Mac, it'd be like being bilingual, except with computers.

My new friend is named for Lucie Manette, the main female protagonist from my favorite book (Get it? It's a Macbook) A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens. I only realized after I picked the name Lucie that it went so well with Gracie. Lucie is set to arrive by the end of next week. Yay! I'll post pictures after she's gotten here and we've spent a little quality time.

So I'm really poor now, but at least I'm an excited poor person.
