Things are happening....

- I got my new laptop! it is so small and cute and light! only 4 pounds and a tiny 12 inch screen - but that's what I wanted - portability is KEY
- new laptop has built-in web cam. I've never used one so it has already provided hours of entertainment, watching myself do funny things.
- I gave my notice at work... gave them about 6 weeks. they took it well except for the fact that my co-worker is ALSO leaving to do his MBA next year (different school) and so they will have to hire a whole new team for our jobs. Oops.
- went to a concert yesterday (Cat Power). She was wonderful - love her voice and sad songs but the audience was filled with silly 19 year old monkeys who were talking (loudly) throughout the whole concert. That, coupled with bad acoustics and my back hurting from standing all night made the concert not very much fun. I think I am getting too old to attend concerts in certain venues. Particularly concerts where there are a lot of 19year olds. You can start calling me "grumpy granny" now.
- went for a fabulous camping trip this past weekend in Algonquin Provincial Park for 3 days with Paul. It rained A LOT. But it was fun regardless. It is such a nice change to escape to nature for a few days. The only sounds we could hear were the loons.
- wow, i went to see Transformers the other week and it was far more fun than I would have ever imagined it would be. Not amazing - but it didn't take itself too seriously, which made me like it more. But that wasn't even the real treat. If you want to go see a great, funny, highly entertaining summer flick - you MUST go see Live Free or Die Hard! It is almost as good as the first one. If you like the first one - you will like this one. The guy from the Apple commercials is like John McClane's sidekick and he is hilarious and fun as well. The only problem I had with it was the scene with the jet. You'll know what I mean when you see it.
