What do you think about netbooks? Useful, wasteful, the perfect size for a little on-the-go computing or too damn small to be worth anything?

Grabbing a cute little computer so soon after getting my desktop resurrected seems to exceed my undefined budget for how many computers I can buy in any given 6-week span, but those little netbooks just seem... useful.

Or is this just a fad that I shouldn't waste money on?

I spend my time wondering about this rather than doing schoolwork )

Thoughts? Observations? Opinions? If you have a netbook, how do you use it? Do you like it? Should I be scared of buying anything from Acer again (my current laptop is Acer) or would HP do me fine (my workhorse of a desktop was HP and lasted 7ish years)?

*goes back to schoolwork, no really*


EDIT: I asked Hunch.com if I should get one and it said 78% yes (I should).

After inhaling all episodes of Dresden Files over the weekend, I decided to check out the novels. The first two weren't all that impressive, but the third one wasn't that bad. (They're really quick reads.) I think I like the tv series better; for one, Dresden is cooler on tv and is less of a weedy nerd who thinks he's really really cool.

About six weeks left before I go to England, woo! England with a side trip to Cardiff, that is. On the list of Places To See is that Canadian-themed bar in London. I've been to enough fakey British "pubs" here, so it's only fair I see the other side. We'll have three shots to get same-day tickets for Hamlet. Oh, how my fingers are crossed. :D

Next on the list of tv to watch/get caught up on is the end of Moonlight, followed by s4 of House. I haven't seen much (any) of s3, but I've heard good things about the end of this season. Then it's Ashes to Ashes. Man, there's a lot of television produced. It's, like, overwhelming.

Iron Man is at the Bloor Cinema this month. Luckily, I've seen it three times in theatres and won't be tempted to another screening. However, this weekend's got a few showings of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I've been meaning to see. Tomorrow I might see Mister Lonely, now that it's in Toronto. It was a scary few weeks movie-wise, but now there's interesting stuff in theatres again.

Working full-time means spending a lot of time at work. What's the deal with that!?

I've fallen in love with the Guillemots. Upbeat, interesting, catchy music ftw.
