it's not easy being green tea.

greetings from starbux. here's my wishlist:
1. netbook computer
2. complete set of septimus heap books
3. new bag

the netbook's really a necessity. we have a laptop which is what i am using right now but my image of cooliosity is tarnished by this ginormous machine. i bout as well be holding a wax tablet and stylus. no, wait. that would be way cooler than this.

i am drinking a green drink with a green straw. it's wicked. (get?? it??) it's a nonfat green tea latte, an appropriately pretensious drink. green tea tastes vaguely of freshly mown lawn. i like green tea. i am not sure if or how these last 2 facts are related.

septimus heap boxed set. now, let me be perfectly honest here. when mini-me gave me the entire harry potter series, i was impressed at the lavishness of her gift and (sorry to say) somewhat (selfishly) disappointed because i wanted the septimus heap books instead. well, okay. let's just revisit how ace throws a fit about gifts and how that turns out in the end.

go read the assignment.

go do it.

I SAID GO READ THE ASSIGNMENT.

jeez.

did you read it?

really?

i don't believe you.

go read it NOW.

thank you.

okay ace is a wacked out gift getter. the gift of harry potter turns out to be just as - if not more so - gooderly than the gift of the other story (which you would know what that gift was if you had read the story).

i am not sure that all came out right.

oh, well.

at any rate, i also want a new bag because the tote i was using broke. it's a broke tote. if you make a security pool of them, it's a broke tote moat. if you elect the security pool, broke tote moat vote. if a guy breaked it, bloke broke tote moat vote.

the handle just gave out. looking at it after it came apart, i'm amazed it stayed together as long as it did because it wasn't sewn or stapled or riveted. it was glued. glued? yes, glued like a 3rd grade macaroni-on-corrugate art project. i was recently looking at it, axting myself, "ace, are you tired of this bag?" and answering myself, "undecided. need more data." well, sorry there ace, you ain't getting no more data. game over. the closer starring the inimitable kyra sedgewick has started a new season, and on the show she carries a tote like a pro, so i really need a new one soon.

i was going to link you to a story about my current tote because i thought i blogged about it when it was new, but i couldn't find that story, but i found this one and it is pretty funny so i linked it up. you're welcome.
