My birthday came early today when I received not one, but two Fed/Ex packages at work! One was my new lens for my Canon 40D and the other was my new pink Speck case for the Macbook! So exciting. How perfect is that? Now my Macbook is Melificent approved and I can honestly say that I am ready for San Diego. Just one more week, people!
Just a little over 2 years ago, I lost my iBook forever in an accident involving my husband and a bathroom. I will not disclose these events any further on the Internet, but suffice it to say that I have been miserable technology-wise ever since. I have been using my hubby’s G5, but I have never felt like it was truly mine and I was tied down to always being in our office whenever doing anything Internet-related (AKA: basically all day/night).
Thankfully, the hubs signed up to do some sidework and surprised me with something fabulous! A 13-inch Macbook!!! I am so beyond thrilled!!!! Finally, a computer to call my own! I plan on buying a pink hard case protector from Speck as soon as I can to make it Melificent approved and can’t wait to import all my music, customize my icons & wallpaper and start bookmarking all my favorite spots on the web. It’ll also come in handy while I’m in San Diego for Comic-Con as I’ll be able to dump all my photos daily and possibly (if we have wifi at the hotel & I have any sort of free time) be able to upload and make posts while I’m there!
And while I’m speaking of photos, my hubs decided to upgrade to a Canon 5D, leaving me in possession of his “old” Canon 40D! I am so excited! I had wanted my own SLR for some time now but we couldn’t justify spending the extra money. Now I’ll be able to score some quality shots while on vacation and possibly become a second shooter for the hubs eventually. All I need is to get some lenses, but those can wait considering they can be pretty costly. If any of you have recommendations as to where I could find some for reduced prices, I’m all ears 🙂
So it looks like my birthday came a little early this year! Two pretties for the price of one!
Squee!
Since I am feeling a little under the weather due to my allergies deciding to mutate and become the most annoying cold overnight and just generally feel a little less than inspired, today’s post will lack focus. So sit back and enjoy some of the random items that have caught my eye on the grand old Internets:
Images from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland have surfaced and oh my holy God does it look amazing. Do I seriously have to wait until 2010?
My fear has subsided! My precious ZQ has appeared on the set of Heroes! And looking mighty fine while doing so if I may add!
Have you seen the site, Geeky Tattoos? It is an excellent mid-workday time-waster and will make you chuckle repeatedly.
John & Kate (plus hate) have officially filed for divorce. Does this mean we never have to see or hear from them again? Because that would be super.
Nothing made me laugh harder than seeing vampire, Bill Compton, shopping in Forever 21 during Sunday’s episode of True Blood. I wonder if he picked up some fabulous finds?
Tomorrow we will be back to our regularly scheduled program – no worries, ladies – I have not forgotten that it is hump day and already have a hottie lined up to make the work week more bearable, promise. No sickness could keep me away from delivering the hotness!
Anyone want to bring me soup? Or antihistamines?
I don’t think I need to describe what Comic-Con is anymore or the fact that I am going next month, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so. This week, some of the heavy hitters of the television world announced their presence at Comic-Con. Interested into who will be in attendance and holding panels? Check out this link for the schedule complete with date and times, but you can expect to see Big Bang Theory, Dexter, LOST, True Blood, Fringe, Eureka and the much-anticipated Flash Forward. The biggest disappointment and definitely not something to love this Friday is that Heroes will officially not be holding a panel this year. They will have “a presence” (whatever the hell that means) and with this presence apparently comes a sneak peek at Season 4. I’m super bummed because Heroes panels are known as being the best of the entire convention – I was really looking forward to participating in one. Oh well, let’s hope this presence is a damn powerful one, right Heroes fans? 😉
Next week the hubs and I will be heading to the west coast to join in the festivities for his cousin’s high school graduation in Folsom, CA. Although we will only have one day to enjoy the amazing-ness that is San Francisco, I will take it! The hubs grew up in the Bay Area so no doubt his heart strings will be pulled hard and tight – can’t make any promises that we will want to come back! 😉 This also means that Melificent will be devoid of any posts next week, so try not to miss me too much! Hopefully I’ll return with some great posts about my trip. On an aside, I have no idea what to pack for our day in SF! This Miami girl does not know how to handle drastically changing day-to-night weather! Yipes!
