Yes, I was one of those people constantly refreshing Twitter at work so I could find out the name and specs of the Apple tablet.

(On that note: I had a good laugh over the reactions to the name — I think #iTampon was at the top of Twitter trends for a good while today –, but my personal opinion is more along the lines of, really, that’s funny?  Even Feministing got all giggly and weird about it.  No one said anything about the ThinkPad, did they?)

Anyhow.  The iPad hasn’t become my new iWant.  That’s still the iPod Touch, but only because I refuse to sign another three year contract with Fido to get an iPhone.  Imagine!  I could check my email anywhere!  Completely abolish the work/life barrier!

I had an hour to waste between my (wonderful, awesome) internship and tutoring, so I got a hot chocolate and walked around downtown in the snow.  Those were the biggest snow flakes I’ve ever seen, falling slowly but almost vertically.  After awhile, it stopped being pretty and became irritating.  I walked into Picks and had a rather delicious burger with caramelized onions, gouda and aioli on some kind of amazing ciabatta-like bun.

And now I’m home, doing that thing where I put all kinds of expensive cashmere yarns in my Etsy cart and then close the browser before I actually buy all of it.
