but my complete lack of a computer at home has started to get frustrating. both for this blog, where i often find my greatest inspirations when keys are scarce, and for practicality. you know, law school applications, crossword puzzle help, finding the right restaurant for sunday brunch. the stuff the web is really for.

this weekend? forget boys. i’ll be curled up in bed with fourteen inches of smooth white digital brilliance.
