Cats: Head Noise, School, Tech|So it’s been almost a week since I’ve powered up either my HP Laptop or my main Desktop PC. Initially, I’d turned them off to allow me to clean without distraction. Then I picked up the Aspire One and haven’t had a reason to fire either up since. It is a strange feeling to say the least. The quiet is downright eerie, as I’ve lived with the omnipresent drone of fans, power-supplies and hard-disks for half my lifetime in some form or another.
Amidst this new found quiet I’ve come to a realization: I’m not nearly as dependent on my power-hungry, noisy machines as I assumed I was. The Blackberry Bold helps, and the Aspire One puts me over the top as far as my technology needs are concerned.
Freeing and strange.
Now it is almost like a personal competition within me to see how long I can last without the two monsters that I would normally call home. To give you an idea, I just logged in to check my work email, not even realizing that I already get all that email on my Berry so there was no need to check it on the One. I have a mountain of other email addresses that I should probably check, but they can wait. Almost nothing but spam comes through on those accounts, as some of them are approaching a decade old, and almost everyone either contacts me via gmail or through my work email.
It is an absolutely bizarre feeling. . .I just can’t state that enough.
We’re off to a housewarming party for a couple of our friends tonight, so there will be, I’m sure plenty of intoxication and picture taking to go ‘round.
A day to recover, then on to my last semester without a degree, which as mentioned previously, is also very strange to me.
Will the strange feelings ever cease? Right now I don’t know, and couldn’t care less.
