Welcome to the Year of the Ox, everybody! (Yes, I know those are dragons in the picture above.) Now, being born in the Year of the Monkey, what does the wise interweb say my fortune will be for 2009? You can actually find long, detailed horoscopes for every animal year here, but I’ve found a couple others that give the general gist of it. MONKEY - 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944, 1932 “The lion may be called the King of The Jungle, but in 2009 Monkeys are set to knock Leo from his throne with a blockbuster of a year. Relationships and friendships are set to blossom and your efforts at work will be well rewarded. In fact, with so many opportunities you may feel a little overwhelmed; don’t be, swing into each one while you can. If primates can steer clear of monkey business then this could be one their best years in memory.” (Via here.) “Luck is with you this year, which could mean good news in your work and your love life. You could become more powerful, especially if you’re involved in politics, the military or the law. Whatever you do in business, act courageously. The signs are good for you financially, especially in the stock market and foreign exchange. If you are single, consider marriage. If you are married, pregnancy may be imminent. Your overall health appears favourable, but watch your kidneys and bladder, and try to keep your weight down.” (Via here.) Looks like good times ahead, people! Woot! Excellent news, especially since last year was so crap-tastic. Here’s hoping your horoscope has good news too. Kung Hei Fat Choy, everybody!!
Okay, so you know how I’m always saying that I’m broke? Well, here’s why!  Yup, that’s right. Last weekend I bought a Macbook! Surprise! (‘Cause I know some of you are.) Up till now I’ve been slogging along using my old 2005 Dell Craptop. (No offense, Dell.) But ‘Crappy’ was dying fast. On the dimmest screen setting the battery would only last half an hour, and just being on meant that Crappy was blowing and ticking as loudly as any ’90s desktop tower. Things would crash. Things wouldn’t open. Things would freeze. My brain was exploding daily. But what, do you ask, was the final straw that made Dave and I get up last Sunday morning and say, “today’s the day”? Crappy started asking me to connect to the internet. Incessantly. Using a dial-up connection. When I was already connected wirelessly to my high-speed cable modem. Yeah. The end, right? So here the two of us are. Dave decided to document the unveiling because I was that excited. If you look closely you can see a) the computer and I having a moment and; b) the ‘crazy eyes’ of joy and excitement in more than one picture. This little guy is awesome. So silent and battery life like you wouldn’t believe! Sigh, this is the start of a beautiful friendship, I can just feel it. |
