I missed this way back when, but was happily caught up when I checked out the special features on my “Sense & Sensibility” DVD today. Emma Thompson’s acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was genius – she imagined Jane Austen’s take on the evening…
To read the speech, check out Wikiquote.
Once it’s all set up just the way I like, I’ll no longer be blogging from an HP Compaq Presario, but a brand-new Dell Inspiron 15! A few photos below, though what a challenge to get great shots with such a shiny case! Playing shy, it is. 
(And the colour of the case, Pacific Blue, looks a bit darker when it doesn’t have a light shining directly on it.)
Hopefully I’ll be posting soon about my thoughts on the new computer and Windows 7 as well. I’ll also need to test the webcam ’cause I’ve never had one, so I’ll want to check out its capabilities!
From me (yes, I wrote something!):
There are still 318 days until Christmas 2010, but lyrics from my favourite Xmas movie popped into my head this morning:
“When I’m worried and I can’t sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings”
Check out the full post here.

Wearing: Light blue t-shirt (with Nelson Pilots’ Association logo), size 14 (petite ’cause I’m short) jeans, off-white sweater.
Wondering: Why jeans are size 14 and pants are size 12 (or less, since one pair keeps sliding down).
On TV tonight: Dragons’ Den. Bones is a repeat again?! 
Sure, I need to write an actual post with interesting things to say, but in the meantime, I’ll let the photos speak for me: http://beccacarter.com/gallery
