Making the best of insomnia.

Know what? I got up to go to the bathroom around 4 a.m. and wound up spending a substantial pile of moolah on Apple.com. I just ordered my brand new Macintosh computer. I’m so damn excited I could poop in my pants.


This is basically the same iMac system I’ve been ogling for the last couple of months — with the high-definition display, Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a wireless mouse and keyboard — although I decided NOT to go with Apple’s biggest and most expensive model because I really don’t need a monitor that’s wider than my car or a 2TB hard drive. (Just between us, I have a lot of trouble conceptualizing the size of a terabyte anyway, which is the same as 1,000 gigabytes. That’s more storage than I’d use in ten lifetimes.) And since I saved some money by choosing a less outrageous system I decided to add on Apple’s three-year protection plan (worth every penny) and asked them to pre-install the latest edition of Microsoft Office.

I think Sam would want me to wake him up with the big news, so I’d better head back to bed now. Thank you for reading this!
