Pour a little sugar on it, honey

We've just finished an assignment in class for Chelsea Sugar- designing a mock set of ads for the NZ Womens Weekly. So, I went down the Kiwiana route... since everyone in NZ knows what Chelsea sugar looks like, I decided to have some fun. Although, I swear the pink wasn't quite so bright before I uploaded it. Sorry if your eyes are burning.

Chelsea Sugar Advertisment

But, in more important news, I got new boots! I've been desperately needing some new boots for the days where it's so cold that you absolutely have to wear a pair of socks or two, unless you want to freeze your toes off. And because I value what little sense of balance I have without losing the added stability my toes provide for me, I went on a mission.

Boots. New ones.

And returned with these. I love a successful shopping mission. I imagine it's similar to the thrill of killing a bison in order to provide for your starving family, except without the blood and guts. And, they're so stable, I probably could hunt a bison in them if I really wanted to. Perfect!

Another thing I find absolutley amazing is the built in iSight camera in my Macbook. It's just so handy for the times you can't be bothered setting up a real camera that actually takes decent photos. Which, if you're like me, is fairly often.

Unfortunately, these two loves of mine don't get along so well. The above photo merely proves that I should take a little pride both in my photography and in myself. But for now, I'm just going to go with sticking my legs in the air and hoping that my parents don't walk in on me trying to photograph my legs with my computer. That could be a fun one to explain.

Hmmm. Next time, I'll get the camera out.

Stumped.

Well, I have been a little sick lately. But, I'm feeling better now, and not as stressed as I was before.

And now that my macbook is up and running, the world is right again.

...Bad News.

I have some terrible news, I'm afraid.

I'm not blogging this from my Macbook.

This is because, a few days ago, I did a silly and foolish thing. After charging my wonderful, shiny new macbook, I left the adaptor plugged in behind the couch, hidden from sight and reach- or so I thought.

Somehow, the dogs managed to bury behind the couch, and my means of charging my macbook has been devoured into 9 separate pieces. My joy has been dashed to pieces by sharp-toothed, heartless monsters.

It is okay, though. A not cheap replacement adaptor is on its way, and I have learned something. The moral of this story is: Terriers are horribly hungry creatures. Do not even attempt to hide a possible source of food from them.

THEY WILL HUNT IT DOWN AND KILL IT

Alive and Kicking

That's right... I have my brand new shiny Macbook.

This could not get any more amazing. It really is shiny.
I was going to take lots of pictures while opening the box, but I decided to keep my semblance of not being super geeky. Instead, I just took one...

I got my mac!

I guess I should just face it. I'm in love with a computer.

Boring Announcement.

Just to let you know, I've been banned from the computer at home indefinitely. So I won't be around much until I get my own... perhaps a couple of weeks?

Oh well. It's about time I got a mac.
