I did some mostly-impulse shopping and I blame my brother for some of it  :)

I managed to take some pictures of my Ultrabook,  though it comes with so many names and it doesn’t help that I always try and call it a netbook,  so it actually comes out of my mouth as net-note-laptop-ultra-zenbook or a variant of that.

It’s so shiny and thin!!!! The first thing I did when I walked into JB Hi-fi (because I am old fashioned and need to hold it and take it home) was head straight to it and feel the temperature. I must have looked like a nerd! Or not. On the adapter it had felt pretty hot,  so I was a little worried about whether it’d cook and burn everything. After fiddling with it for a few days now,  the only time it got me worried was playing Skyrim on low quality for about 10 minutes. Other than that,  I love the SSD and sleekness. Do I believe in love at first sight? Only for random luxury items!

There was also a Logitech sale that my brother pointed out to me. I had been considering buying a spare mouse for a while,  but never bothered. But since I was on a spending spree,  I figured a good mouse for $19 was too good to pass up. Just in case my current mouse dies. You never know! While I was at it,  I was also in the market for new earphones with a mic. Mic compulsory. So there were some Ultimate Ears 400vi,  so I bought them. I originally had my eye on some Audio Technica CKS55i cause THEY ARE RED,  but these came up and my brother says the UEs are really good. So I ended up with that too,  and they were shipped super fast!

Now these new earphones are funny because they don’t yet fit my ears. I hope I got the bud size right,  since I tend to fail at a lot of these things. They are a lot warmer and bass-ier than my old cheapo $20 ATs,  so I’m sure I’ll grow to love these too. They also isolate noise moreso than my old ones,  so currently I’m half deaf and yelling at everyone. Probably means I can’t walk around with these in my ears either;  my psychicness is only so good at warning me of oncoming invisible trucks and the like. Ugh.
