Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow American bloggers and viewers. It's a lovely November 22nd, here in Southern California. Sunny, slight breeze, comfortable 70 degrees. My family and I are spending our Thanksgiving being lazy, unproductive in front of our respective LCD screens (my brother in law is playing Rock Band, my husband is playing WoW, and I am here). But that's not how we started our day.

Thanksgiving started in the wee hours of this morning, shortly after 12. We got a phone call from our room mates date; they had been in an accident. They had been there for a few hours, I think - we drove half an hour away to another part of the county; we saw his car on the way to the hospital by coincidence, and that he been hit driver-side into a shallow ditch on the side of the road; it took us half an hour to find the ER once we were on the hospital grounds.

We didn't get home until shortly before 2 AM, but my room mate is fine, which is the most important thing. We spent the remainder of the day sleeping, playing Rock Band, and having dinner with my parents and grandparents. It was a nice ending to a good, but strange, day. My wrist hurts - it's rough being a rock star.

I know there are so many people who will shake their heads, and maybe, vomit at the idea of it - I am officially obsessed with Apple products. Not too long ago, I told an online friend that I distinctly would never buy a computer from Apple, and then, that I was by no means a switcher (I just find the Macbook line the most visually pleasing AND compact of any laptops out there, with the Macbook Pro being exactly what I need and more from a computer, period). But I admit defeat, people. I have been sucked in.

I am no longer content with owning a 2 year old iPod Mini, or a effin' fabulous Macbook Pro. I must have more! Firstly, I want an iPhone. I've made my wishes known to my awesomely Mac-hatin' hubby, to which he shakes his head. We don't have a plan with Cingular/AT&T/whatever their name this month, so the possibility of me even getting one is pretty slim. Secondly, I want a new iPod. I don't need one, not even close. I only ever use my iPod in the car, of all places, plugged into the FM transmitter. Thirdly... I think I am retail-deprived at this point, so I pretty much want anything and everything we can neither afford nor need.

Sadly, though, I'm afraid that I've gotten sucked into the "cool" factor of being an Apple user. *ducks* Honestly, how retarded is this? But every time I sit down to my laptop, I'm like, "sweet". Ugh, will it ever end? What suck even more is how I can't find anything without it either being a demo or a demo labeled as shareware. Lose.

In other, more personal, news. Mocha's kitten sleeping patterns are driving me nuts. It's sleep for an hour, play for 2, and she attacks all my stuff! I'm bitter now, because she was so inclined to attack my hands, while I was using my laptop. Her pretty blue eyes melt me, but my goodness I wish she understood just how exacerbating she is! ...that is all.
