Too Much Gift?

Published on 6 years, 10 months ago in Day-To-Day. 7 Comments

Pardon the Engrish.

Rabia Recently gave me a couple of birthday presents for my upcoming 20th birthday. Included is a beautiful cashmere black scarf (I’d been talking about wanting a black scarf to go with my wool/cashmere coat), as well as a $150 gift certificate for Express. I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do with the gift certificate; it’s clearly way too much for my birthday, especially coming from her. I’m taking suggestions on what to do with it – please post a comment and let me know how you think I should get back at Rabia.

As expected, I sent out my PowerBook for repairs today. The service guys told me that they expect it back within three, maybe four days. No loaners available (not that I’d really use one anyhow). Meanwhile I’m starting to get used to KDE, Thunderbird and Enigmail on a friend’s linux-x86 box — every few minutes I joyfully remember why I loved linux, and every few seconds I painfully remember why I jumped on board with Apple’s Mac OS X. It’s going to be a long week.

Charlie’s PowerBook down for the count…

Looks like my powerbook is dead at least until a service technician can take a look at it. I’ll be sending it in on Monday 2005.02.07, and expect it back around Thursday 2005.02.10. One week without a laptop.
