Sexy Goodness

Beyond being thankful for all my friends, family, and that the turkey came out well, I had one more thing to be thankful for yesterday: my new MacBook finally arrived! I couldn't have been more excited as I had been waiting ages for it to arrive. I ordered it on the 6th of November, just before Apple came out with a new MacBook, and being the kind people that they are, they replaced my order of their suddenly out-of-date computer with their new model. I would have been angry otherwise, but it did mean a horrible delay however when it came time to finally getting my computer. I mean, three weeks, what'd they do, put it on the slow boat from Malaysia (or wherever they manufacture)?!

But now it's here, and it's sooooooo sexy. I love it, love it, love it. It's sleek, compact, has a built-in video camera (with which you can play photo booth, my roommates and I quickly discovered), and the battery lasts like three hours.

Now I need to come up with a good name for it. Usually my computers have male names, but perhaps this one should break that trend? We've had such fun names before as Balthasar and Micarême, but now what? Both of those names were reminiscent of French, as that was the language I was involved with at that time. But now we're getting into Arabic, so I think I should try an Arabic name.

And yet, I can't decide on one so let's try a new fangled approach to this process: an online poll! I've selected ten names and given you their meanings below (Note: the first six are feminine names, the last four are masculine). You have till December 1st to place your vote.

What should I name my computer?
