Calderone's Return
Dec. 25th, 2009 06:18 pmSo, as planned, I hosted Christmas dinner today. Right now, holy cow, the leftovers.
The Niece got two phones. A TracFone from her mom and stepdad, and a LG Xenon from Matt. Combine those with the netbook Mom&Dad and I got her (and the upcoming accessories for it), and she was a very happy and technologically-connected kid.
Dinner itself was a good thing. Short on crazy and stupid for the first time in a long while.
The Niece's netbook is pretty nifty. We were able to get one in purple (her favorite color), and it's a Win7 machine. I'm going to get her an external DVD-RW drive for it soon and get the necessary OS upgrade. It is a tiny little machine. Keyboard's way too small for me to use (the Macbook has spoiled me, too), but her hands are much smaller than my octave-and-a-half paws, so she should be just fine.
Hoping to get in a late showing of Avatar tonight, and maybe an early one of Sherlock Holmes tomorrow.
