Yay! As of today, I have officially ordered an Alpha Smart. I'd better get it before Thanksgiving, damn it. I've got an eight-hour bus ride to look forward to that Sunday.

Oh, and the plans for Thanksgiving are now --

Wednesday -- Dad shows up in Alexandria and does the tourist thing in Washington all day while I work. Then when I'm done, he picks me up and it's a five hour long drive home.

Thursday -- I stuff my face at Thanksgiving. And as an added bonus, this year, no washing dishes. Yay!

Friday -- Shopping, hopefully with my brother. This way, he can just pick out his present and get it all in the same day. (We never wait to give each other our Christmas presents, we just buy them and hand 'em over. It's nice to have someone buy you something and refrain from taunting you with it for the next month.)

Saturday -- Family time. May be bad day to do family time, as after two days with my parents, "family time" might involve the repeated artful dodging of innuendos, accusations, guilt trips, pointy objects, and any sort of restaurant bill that might be put before any of us.

Sunday -- Eight-hour bus trip. Sounds like Hell right now, will probably sound like a bucketful of chocolate and beer after "family time".

O.o

What exactly is an Alpha Smart for?

It's kind of like a cheap laptop for people who just need something to write on. You can type up stories and papers and things (you've got room for four hundred pages) and then upload them onto a computer. It's only two hundred bucks, it's tough, it's lightweight, and it's got great battery usage.

And now that I've said all that, I think I should get mine for free just for the advertising. ;)

I get it now. Alpha Smart is actually a good idea then. Yes, you should get it free for pimping out their product.
