twenty-something

Check out this parody site (thanks, joevelocity!) for the brand-new Apple "iProduct." I got excited for a minute, but then I realized it was fake.

At least we Mac folks can laugh at ourselves...

Yelli, my favorite gal pal, the Will to my Grace, had finally joined the rest of us in the 21st Century and gotten herself a home computer. And not just any computer -- a shiny new iBook.

She's now a Mac person. I am so proud.

In her honor, here's a short list of must-have accessories for the hip Apple girl that she will become. I would buy these for her if I won the lottery -- and, let's face it, I'd probably buy them all for myself, too.

• Timbuk2 Marina Handbag (right) : for your inner Carrie Bradsaw (it fits a computer!)

• iPod mini -- Silver with Incase Handcrafted Leather Sleeve : for the gym and the walk to work

• iBook Fan Book and The Cult of Mac : for true appreciation of your new "lifestyle"

• Motorola iTunes Phone : for shits and giggles

Now get yourself a blog, girl. Or maybe guest-blog for me while I'm in Minnesota?

Never Miss A Beat
Like no other, iPod Ashlee Simpson Karaoke Edition stands out. Virgin white, it features the new Apple Fast-Forward Click Button and, on the flip side, complete how to use instructions. Available for just $349, it comes with enough money to use a pay phone for calling your daddy, your agent or both, when you get caught lip syncing live on national television. We have also included some Kleenex for those special times when your entire fan base realizes you're nothing but a talentless hack.

More at Airbag.

I got a call from the campus computer folks today. After months of struggling with it, my PowerBook back from Apple and it has a brand-new hard drive. So why can't I have it back yet? Apparently, the tech guy is afraid of turning it on today because of the cold. Or something. So tomorrow, it should be back in my hot little hands.

I also read today that the PowerBook line got an upgrade. And I'm very, very jealous. I want to dump my pain-in-the-arse machine (and I will, if this HD replacement didn't do the trick) and get one of these hot new mamas.

I do miss my computer...
