The in-between and an attention span of a gnat…
I thought that it was time I send another “I exist, but…” post.
I’m still in the in-between and looking for an apartment, which has been demoralising so far but I am remaining optimistic. However, as the post title says I do seem to have the attention span of a gnat, so those of you who see me on Facebook while my feed is silent, that is why. Facebook and gnats go well together. 
Actually, I am being mentally bombarded with ideas of what to write about, but I just can’t seem to sit still. Or I can, but only while doing mindless things, like playing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on my new Wii.
Yup, with my newfound lack of poverty I have invested in an entirely luxurious useless piece of technology. And to be honest, I mostly got it so I could use Wii Fit. Mum bought one when she was here and, as limited as it is, it turned out to be exercise I actually do.
And I never exercise.
I have also invested in a fab new camera. This one…
…which absolutely rocks. Caspar picked the colour, but Lightening, if you’re reading, there is definitely one that makes me think of you.
I also bought that Eee PC that I wanted for my birthday. Well, not exactly the same one. I got the new 10″, Pearl White, instead of the 7″…
Because every inch makes a difference.
Unfortunately, I can’t make the most of it until I’ve relocated and set up a wireless account. The ISP I’m considering doesn’t service this hellhole locality. Even more unfortunately, I stupidly left it within reach of the boy. Who promptly broke 7 keys off the keyboard. (I wonder if that will be covered under the warranty?)
In other indulgent news, I have been out TWICE since selling the house.
AT NIGHT.
WITHOUT CHILD.
On those outings I discovered that I no longer have the alcohol tolerance I built up in my years of working in bars.
But more about that another day.
Love to all, from your absent friend.

Wonderful to hear from you as always. Good luck on your apartment search.

You went out? With out child?
No fair.
And girl, you have to get the Wii Fit! It is awesome and Cas will love it too.

@ Musing. Thank you. Sorry I haven’t been “visiting” much of late.
@ Kelley: I got the Wii Fit on the same day. I really like it. Even if I look like a crazy doing the hula without a hoop.
And yesterday I bought a 120gb iPod Classic, an iPod dock, a 32″ LCD HDTV and an HD DVD player. So now I just need to upgrade my desktop computer and buy 2 single beds and Cas and I will be set for life. Once I find somewhere to live, of course.
And shoes. Maybe I deserve a pair of new shoes, because I’m currently wearing $5 sneakers every day. But is it just me or is this the year for the ugliest shoes on the planet?
