I really shouldn’t be doing this, because summer in Montreal is too damn short, but I really want it to be mid-July already so I can know, or feel that I should know, or at least hope, that Google Play has shipped out my lovely, my beloved Nexus 7. Okay, so we haven’t met yet. Big deal, arranged marriages are always the best. You learn to love one another. Someone smarter and wiser has matched you up, and there are good reasons for it, so you might as well make the most of it.
Why do I want this thing so badly?
I’m not a tech-y, a gadget hoarder, a gamer or early adopter. I just want to snuggle up in bed with my new 7-inch darling, reading whatever book I impulsively decide to buy and feel a pressing need to consume! Is that so wrong? Please come to me soon, Google Nexus 7. I promise to take good care of you.
What if it’s hard on the eyes (looks, sometimes, are everything), what if the e-ink runs, worse, what if it has nooooo e-ink, will you still remain loyal? Hope you have a swell time with your new gadget and, yes, if you must know, I am envious, indeed, jealous.
It’s gonna be great. (And I will never back down from that position!) Ever, ever, until the next thingy that’s really cool from Google…
I had one similar gadget once. It died on my in the middle of a crucial turning point in my novel. I have never, not to this day, gotten over it. ;).
Sorry for the typos in my comment above. This says it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEBPzD3MPWE
Kraftwerk. Computer love. Sigh…
