Goddammit....I love and hate financial aid day. I realize I shouldn't complain about having money, but shit...I do have to pay it back, someday.

I still can't decide between a MacBook Pro and a PC.

MacBook Pro because it's more geared towards what I want to do, probably better quality, and doesn't have fucking Vista. It's also $1700 for refurbished, without Photoshop, word processing, a mouse, and possibly an extended warranty. I could easily drop $2600 if not more.

OR, get a decent PC laptop, force it to swallow XP, buy PS with my educational discount. Clearly this sounds more intelligent...but MacBook pretty.

Crap.

Also, I just bought a lovely black gas mask on eBay...for ARTS <---thanks Jen. That's all I can call it now.

I've been thrown into another task...possibly two. Curating a show in February with the theme of "Exes". It's a Valentine's Day event. Also, I've been nudged into applying for a position on the Lawrence Arts Commission.

Busy, school hasn't even started yet.
TOO MUCH. But good, I think.

Meeting with potential wedding photography client tomorrow.
Must finish two paintings by 25th. Have to re-do screenprint for Darfur benefit. Put together a plan of attack for V-Day show. School starts Thurs. Dinner with Sara on Friday. Kim's staff party on Sunday.
Balls. BALLS I SAY!

I'm now looking at a used G4 Powerbook on eBay. Have a friend in the newspaper biz who says theirs has been running strong for years and years.

I think I've decided on Mac finally.
It's time to start investing in quality.

I'd be weary of getting a super old machine, only because if anything ever happens to it, they stop making parts for machines. that said, as long as you have enough memory and harddrive space in the thing, you could be okay. I'm not sure how old of a machine Leopard will run on. (I have a legal copy of that too)
