Happy 35th Birthday to my husband!  This is a very special birthday since this time next year, you'll be a new father.  :-)
To celebrate his birthday we went to see Spamalot at the Ahmanson Theater in Downtown LA.  Before the show we had a wonderful dinner at Roy's, it was our first time dining at Roy's and the experience was simply wonderful.  We highly recommend the butterfish if you get a chance to visit Roy's.  It is one of the best fish dishes we've ever tried.  The chocolate souffle was also quite amazing.  Though it's not true French souffle, it's more like a motlen lava cake, it's still pretty amazing when paired with their vanilla bean ice cream.  
The best part of the whole evening is that after dinner, Roy's offered complimentary limousine service to the theaters.  So we got to ride in style to the show through Downtown.  After the show, the limo was waiting for us and two other couples to drive us all back to Roy's where we parked our car.  Spamalot was a lot of fun to watch.  Mr. BAW thoroughly enjoyed it since he is a huge fan of Monte Python.  Happy 35th Superman!

I must apologize for disappearing for almost a month!  But once again I was plagued with laptop angsts.  My two-year old HP laptop died.  Thankfully I had enough warning signs that I was able to back up all of my files before it completely died.  

So I spent weeks soul searching and tooka good audit of my computing habits.  I determined that I spend the majority of my home computing time blogging (reading or posting), researching on the web, and checking email.  I do spend a small amount of time doing photo editing, but nothing major.  So having a heavy laptop with a dvd drive and intense processing power isn't really what I need.  In fact, with my last laptop, the hard drive always get so hot that I can't leave it on my lap really.  Especially these days with my belly getting bigger, I worry about the heat and the electromagnetic radiation effects on the baby.  So what I'm really looking for is a light weight, portable, and simple little computer for me to web browse and store photos.  Netbooks became my ideal.  These are small laptops with a 10" screen weighing in at about 2lbs max.  They lack an optical (CD/DVD drives) and typically have less processing capabilities.  But at 160GB of memory, 1GB RAM (2GB with upgrade) it meets all of my needs, they can even fit into my purse!  The best part is the price, these little netbooks typically cost less than $400!  

After deciding that I wanted a netbook I did some more reading and finally decided on the Asus.  These guys are based in Taiwan and are one of the first people to develop the netbooks.  The model I went for is the top of the line with an impressive 10-hour battery life.  Afterall, what's the point of being so portable if you always have to be tied to a power cord?  

I've had it for a week now and I absolutely love it!!  I plan on taking it on a trip with me in the near future.
