The last four weeks in books
Dec. 11th, 2016 09:07 amBut first: I've been lurking around DW and LJ less than usual, because my trusty early-2011 MacBook Pro died, and doing anything on an iPad is a pain, even with a Bluetooth keyboard.
(I was casting about re how to replace it -- buy a cheap Windows laptop to tide me over while I save for a new MacBook? That was the plan, but then I actually looked at cheap Windows laptops. Yikes.
So, no, I'm just going to (a) pay off my vacuum cleaner faster than planned -- said vacuum having been purchased on an interest-free card, because it was a VACUUM EMERGENCY -- and save enough of a lump sum that I can pay off the future MacBook within its interest-free period. I've saved $100 so far! AND I have a jar that's full of coins, there might be another $20 in there.
But rest assured that I'll be whinging about my iPad in the meantime, especially because it's unreasonably hard to borrow and read ebooks from the library via the app, and my TV and movie watching is limited to Australian streaming services and the DVDs I already own.)
Now, I actually haven't been reading a whole lot lately, because ... I dunno, I start things and have trouble getting into them, maybe I'm in a slump.
