I'm so in love with my gorgeous new MacBook! It's just beautiful. So pretty and stylish! And so little ... so light and portable. And the battery lasts beautifully. And the cute little case I got for it is so handy and small. I love carrying it around with me.
I'm finding my way around it far more quickly than I anticipated too. I knew Macs were user-friendly, so I shouldn't really be surprised. It's just so easy though ... I love it!! Things just work. No hassles. No dramas. Just simple fun.
One of my highlights so far ... a fabulous little widget that finds and displays the lyrics of the song currently playing in iTunes. It's soooo handy! One keystroke, and there on my screen are the lyrics to the song I'm currently listening to. I love it!!
And speaking of music ... I have a new addiction! Jason Mraz ... love him! His music is incredibly addictive. I bought his most recent live album a week or so ago, and have been playing it almost non-stop since. Tonight, I bought another album ... Mr A-Z. So far, loving it easily as much as expected. Looking forward to the new album. New music is such fun!
Hmm, and it's supposed to be inspiring me to continue studying, but instead seems to be distracting me far too easily. Oops! A Saturday night in really must be used productively in order to justify not being out having fun. I better get back to it.

Hehe the widget is a popular one! In the Top 10 at the Mac Widget site at the moment. It's called Sing that iTune!, and the direct link is:

Update on the Lyrics Widget front ... just found another one called Harmonic that updates the iTunes track info as well, and I believe then makes the lyrics available on your iPod after you sync. Very neat!! Comes in pretty colours too. Direct link below:
