This time of year, I’m usually doing at least one Mall run to pick up more stuff in the sales. I had another objective tonight, my new laptop is a bit wider than the last one, so I need to get a new bag to put it in.
This is where the ickle flaw becomes apparent …
The cunning plan has worked beautifully, the new lappy is letting me stream music in pretty high quality to my decent speakers. All without yet another wire stretched across the room that I will trip up on. The ickle flaw is finding a decent bag, large enough to put it in. Eva Green’s character in Casino Royale says “There are dinner jackets and there are dinner jackets.” Well – there’s laptop bags and then there’s laptop bags.
My requirement in a laptop bag isn’t too onerous … I just want one that has decent strengthening in the sides to protect the laptop from crushing, plus a place to put the power supply that won’t cause the plug to create scoring on the laptop lid. Having trouble finding one at the moment but I’m sure I’ll figure something out 🙂
Oh – I have more cds to feed the iTunes monster 🙂 I’ll be listening later to :
Goldfraap – Seventh Dream
The Hoosiers & The Trick To Life
Paramore – Riot!
I like sales 🙂
PS I may be doing something constructive with the Stories blog. When I first started working in Bristol, I made a bit of a name for myself as a PC hardware/software guru … by carefully picking the questions on the forums to give an answer to. In other words, keeping quiet when I didn’t have a clue but otherwise helping out where I could. I miss that now, the forums got killed a couple of years ago due to the forum supervisor wanting to have less work to do. So an extremely useful resource got lost to the site. But I may well be doing something with the Stories blog which resurrects that … By putting the odd techie post on there 🙂
PPS It’s darn cold here ! The weather widget I picked up from the UK Metoffice (linked) is saying it’s -5.7 degrees C. Think I may be playing pooter games later, not as something to do but so I can put my tootsies near where the hot air comes out 🙂
