Laptops, potluck details, a cool signature that sounds like a curse, glasses, and being girly

Laptop arm dealies.
More information.

[20:56:22] Corey: I want a free laptop
[21:00:31] Flami: ROIMU time!: it's all spam... do not give in to the spam!
[21:02:34] Corey: I want a laptop for every room :P semi-mounted to stands with bendable arm things so I can put it wherever I want without it falling or whatever (for doing stuff while laying down or sitting without using the floor or table space near a couch or something :P
[21:03:59] Flami: are those things even a possibility right now?
[21:04:36] Corey: I don't see why not
[21:05:01] Corey: it'd have a pretty limited range, of course.. near wherever the arm is mounted :P
[21:05:44] Corey: you know those flexible metal things? I don't know how to describe it.. the reading lights on my lamps are on those.. they bend pretty much whichever way you put them
[21:06:37] Corey: get a flat piece that you can attach the laptop to somehow.. maybe even just some Velcro or something... have it on an arm like that.... only problem might be weight. maybe having two of those arm things would work
[21:06:57] Corey: I could probably get some of that stuff from Home Depot or something... throw something together and see if it works
[21:07:56] Corey: I wouldn't want it to be permanently mounted, though... if it's a laptop, it'd be nice to easily take it off and go wherever with it
[21:13:10] Corey: I end up reading comics or watching movies on mine before I go to bed, while I'm lying down... It'd be nice if I had a way to basically suspend it in midair wherever I need it tilted whichever way I want :P
[21:16:42] Flami: yeah, those flexible metal things are cool... that would be really useful, but suspending it in midair?
[21:37:31] Corey: well... it wouldn't be in midair, obviously... it'd be on that arm :P positioned where I want it in front of me, angled to the side (if I'm lying down) or whatever :P
[21:44:56] Flami: ROIMU time!: yeah, that would be cool... why am I thinking of things suspended in midair?

Jen emailed us details of the potluck: "Potluck will be served at around 7 PM. Please expect to arrive around 6:30 PM. As far as food is concerned, we still need one vegetable dish, one appetizer, and one (non-alcoholic) beverage. Those who are still undecided, please email me what you decide by Saturday; that way, we will not have 'doubles.' So far, there are twelve people attending." Twelve?! Let's see... from this email, I count Jen / her mom / Dawn / Vania / me and my siblings / Eric M. / Nathan / Dylan / Vivian. That's 11, unless the 12th is Karen... guess I'll find out later! I'm like my sister: we don't RSVP and then back out of it since we're COMMITTED! :P

I like this signature I saw at a message board: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day, and may their arms be too short to scratch!

I was going to either delete all my one-use tags or append them to pre-existing entries. But then I figured that would take way too long. :P

I'll have to pick up my glasses myself at the factory outlet tomorrow... good thing I have a free day so I can go to the mall / bank later if needed! (or Milestones to see if they still have that special on, haha) According to my sister, "It's exactly at 7th and Ash. Take the 98 to Broadway, then the 99 to Cambie. Walk to 7th (towards downtown) and head west (left) one block. OR Walk to the Cactus Club (on Broadway and Ash) and walk to 7th from there." I hope I don't get TOO lost, heh.
