- My previous Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad T60p laptop. You served me well and took those bread crumbs that inevitably got stuck between the "N" and "M" keys like a champ. Sure, it may seem like I replaced you with a younger, newer you, but think about it more in terms of you being a trailblazer. I loved you as much as a woman could love her laptop, which was pretty much an unhealthy dependency on technology and the occasional bouts of anthropomorphism. I.e., true love. Clearly. Goodbye, dear friend. You served me well.
- My 3-on-3 list has come to its end. I wanted to use it as a vehicle to keep me blogging consistently. A month of blog silence later, clearly, it had failed. Plus, I was tired of the theme anyway. So, this is the last 3-on-3 and it's posted on a Monday!
- Finally, goodbye, Netflix. I know I used your instant streaming about 50 times more frequently than I watched DVDs. Hell, I held onto The A-Team DVD FOR TWO WEEKS. Even though I was actually really, really excited to watch it (Bradley Cooper, anyone?). But the thought of sacrificing the thrilling excitement of receiving a disc in the mail was a bummer. And, let's face it, I don't want to pay 60% more than I already currently do. Honestly, though, I think the true undoing of it all for me was the fact that there was so much hubbub about the price increase that I made the FATAL MISTAKE of actually checking my account to see how much I've paid over the years. You never want to do this with any subscription-based service because the realization always goes, "I SPENT HOW MUCH ON DVDS AND STREAMING WHOSE WEDDING IS IT ANYWAY??? ZOMG!" Yeah.... It's a temporary goodbye, but a goodbye nonetheless. I think when I get more settled, I'll give it another go. And hopefully the streaming library will be better and I won't feel like I'm missing out by not getting DVDs in the mail. OK, who am I kidding? DVDs in the mail rock!
Au revoir.
