This week? Work, snow, some epically bad dates, dog walks, drag shows and a lot of dancing:

Halvers and I went to the townhouse for classafrass earlier in the week:

And the snow quickly gave way to real spring temperatures. The lake was packed today.

Gateway no longer supports my FX laptop (or even acknowledges that the model exists). I can’t find any new drivers for it and it’s slowly dying. So I went to Mall of America on Saturday to hunt for a new computer. The mall usually has some random event on the weekends, and this week it was all about fancy cars:

Bestbuy had mostly low-end laptops ($300-$400) and the uber expensive Macs. The 17-inch Mac started at $2,500 – which wasn’t happening.

I then went to the Apple store to see if they had anything better but I was immediately turned off by the lack of customer service. The greeter was preoccupied with his watch and no one came to help me in the five minutes I was in the store. I quickly balked at the prices and fled across the hallway to the Microsoft store.

The salespeople at the Microsoft store were super patient with my 3o-minutes worth of questions. I eventually bought a HP Envy Beats edition, which is 17-inch beast with 3D capabilities and a professional sound card. It’s fancy, and I named it Herman.

My laptop only got used for homework this weekend because Ableton has to manually approve my license for the new laptop.  It’s a German company, so you know they aren’t open for Easter.

Being productive isn’t the worst way to spend a Sunday. Maybe this can be a regular thing.
