LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Pretty things...

I am currently a little lost. My wonderful Macbook has gone in for repairs (the plug on the charger broke) and I don't know what to do with myself. With over two and a half years of faithful service I am hoping that this 'servicing' will extend it's life by a few more (I say servicing because they are also replacing the casing where it has cracked. Hopefully they will clean the inside too).

With the Mac absent, all my bookmarks and pictures and programs that get my emails for me and gets my blog posts for me to read are gone.

I also suddenly have the writing ability of a sulky 10 year old girl.

So I will resort to re-posting pretty pictures from around the internets. Behold...

From My Favorite And My Best:

I like the wall lamps and the dark paint in the alcove. Sophisticated and classy.

Pretty sofa. I like tufting. Maybe a little too much. *drool*

From Desire To Inspire:

This was meant to be an example of good television placement. Personally, I disagree, but that isn't the point. LOOK AT THE PRETTY SOFA AND CUSHIONS! I love the contrast of the grey and yellow.

That's all the pretty stuff I saw today. I saw some not pretty stuff too but whatever. I might make a post on it later.

I also saw this on Post Secret and it made me sad:

:(

Soapbox time

This is were I get back on my soap box and have a rant....

So after much drama involving many calls to my internet provider and Chorus (the phone line people), I finally have working internet.

Normally I would be thrilled, and I am. Or was.

I just can't get over how SLOOOOW my internet connection is. Seriously, it is barely faster than dial-up (I have a ADSL2 connection so should get max of 24mb/s). Realistically, I only expect a connection speed of 3-4Mb/s, downloading something at 300kb/s or somewhere around that. But 64kb/s is a little pathetic. My parents get faster, and they live out in the Wop Wops (lol, the Boondocks). I live in the CBD of our capital city and it took over 15 minutes to download a 40MB file (Yes, it was legal).

I find it sad that some third world countries have better internet than us.

Yes, I know I should be happy that I have internet and be grateful I am so fortunate blah blah blah, but I am paying near $100 a month for something that is barely usable!
