Simon Says - "Together Again"

I have done most of my (few) entries on this here laptop that I am sitting with and typing on right now. It's a Sony VAIO, and if anyone out there is thinking of getting a new laptop, please allow me to attest to the virtues of this sweet little thing. VAIO is like black men - once you go VAIO, you never go back. Anyway...

Sweet Leah is sitting here on my couch with me. We just finished watching the very mediocre movie Velvet Goldmine. My old co-worker went to high school with the director. The best thing about the film was Ewan McGregor's weenie. Anyway...

This is the first time I've done one of these entries with the sweet Leah at my side. It's kind of fun. To prove that she is here with me, I'll let her say a word or two now: "Weenie." Looks like she limited herself to one, and even that was a pathetic copycat word. Christ, I used it in the last paragraph! Anyway...

So this is nice. The neighbor has un-password protected his wireless, and now I can do this at home instead of at work. It sucks that it's taken this long. I even offered my landlord/neighbor ten bucks a month to give me his password so that I didn't have to get my own. I don't want to get my own since I have no phone line or cable, and have no desire for either. But now his wireless is available, and there you have it. Anyway...

So it's late, and time for bed, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make an entry with sweet Leah at my side. I know, this is so meta, but whatever. It is what it is.

PS - Sister Mel is now a reader. Hello, Mel. (talk about meta)

Say what you will about Velvet Goldmine, but I think the soundtrack and ewan mcgregor/jonathan rhys-meyers boy-on-boy love are hot.

I'm totally in the market for a new laptop...I was thinking of an Apple so it matches my iPod. Thoughts? I hear that VAIO's are pretty swell also...I just need one that can hook up to the internet and has Word. Perhaps an Apple is too expensive for that.

Weenie...great word. :)

I have a VAIO too. I love it to pieces.

Hi Leah-by-his-side!

so i take it the whole "gay thing" didn't work out for you. free wireless rules the world, and i believe that all wireless should be free. eventually, so many people will have it, there is no point in pass protecting it. we can share in the love. the 60s all over again.

Sam – I prefer Apple laptops, but if you don't need something super-fast, super-cool, graphicky, etc., the VAIO is the next-best thing. Just my 2 cents.

If I had a wireless network (which I'm thinking about), I would share it with my neighbors no strings attached. Except for maybe the guy who mows his lawn shirtless.
