No, not my birthday – that’s tomorrow.
No, I’m being much more materialistic today: I’ve got my huge, lovely, big, fast, super-specially brilliant new Mac Pro sitting on my desk in the study just begging me to get creative (and, in a little voice, to play Championship Manager, too).
It feels like it’s been an age since I ordered it but yesterday it finally got here and I’ eventually found it amongst all its packaging. Mind you, I think it speaks volumes about a product when even the boxes it comes in are cool.
It’s only taken 24-hours of head-banging, shop-tripping, telephone-helplining to get the whole thing off the ground and doing what it’s suppose to, but now it’s flying at full mast, there’s no stopping me.
Well, I say that, but I suppose if you’re going to make the most of a state-of-the-art editing system, you really need some projects to edit. Which, I suppose, means I’ve got to get to work making some projects. But of course, I can’t talk about those, because we all know what happens when I discuss my future plans on here.
I could instead go into incredible detail about how I’ve spent my day since 6am this morning (yes, I was up at 6, no, I have no idea why) trying to puzzle my way around the various internet-connection problems I came across, or I could regale you with tales of the unbelievably complex and cool software I spent the afternoon installing. I could even slide in a witty anecdote about my trip to Maplins at lunchtime.
But I’m not going to. Because a) you really don’t care that much and b) neither do I. The point is, I’ve got it, it’s here, it’s ready to go and now the fun can really begin.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to play Championship Manager until K gets home from college…
