Check me out! My tax refund was EXACTLY enough to pay for the new MacBook that I’ve been literally pinching pennies for. (Turns out not much happens when you pinch a penny. It heats up a little, but that’s it.) I have had the same ibook G3 since 2001, and while it was a good little machine that served me very well, it couldn’t play dvds. Or avi files, really. And it couldn’t burn CDs or do stuff fast. And it was full of memories and didn’t have any more memory to spare. I decided about two years ago to get new one, but it just wasn’t financially possible until now. BUT NOW I HAVE A MACBOOK AND I LOVE IT AND IT IS CUTE AND IT IS FAST AND IT TAKES PICTURES OF ME IN THE STYLE OF ANDY WARHOL LIKE SO:
Mike is jealous that I have better technology than him. He likes to use the photobooth feature too, but prefers to make himself look more creepy than glamourous:
It is so fun!!
Also in “welcome to the future willow mcc” news, I will turn 27 on Friday. If you are in Portland and you know me and are not a creep you are welcome to join me in festivities at Vendetta on my birthday night. 27 is going to be fun!!!

speaking of creepy and glamorous, hello from los angeles! we are doing fine and found *decent* coffee even. (not awesome, but not bad. and the barista asked us if solveig wanted anything, after we had already sat down. awww, caring l.a. barista!)
happy birthday (almost). now you will be only 10 years younger than me!
Ooo, I’m jealous! Nice pics, too!
Enjoy 27 because 28 feels really old for some reason.
