Introducing Harry Leo Gryffindor - My New MacBook Pro.

So...I can't help myself, but I can no longer refrain from announcing how lucky I am to have a Beebs who recently got me a brand new Powerbook MacBook Pro for my birthday. THANK YOU!! <3 <3 <3

No excuse for me not to blog more regularly now! In fact, no excuse for me not to read all my personal emails and organize my volumes of random / holiday photos anymore.

Here is a cheeky picture of me taken when I was unwrapping my gift, which is FINALLY up and running with internet connection etc.

Not the most flattering picture...but I was very excited and jumping all over the place, rendering all the pictures blurry or plain hideous. If I want to be a serious blogger, I really should take these picture perfect moments a little more seriously.

Unwrapping my new MacBook Pro, Harry Leo Gryffindor

I am a bit of a dork when it comes to computers and cars, and I have named all my computers and my one and only car to date.

Following the tradition, I have decided to name my new MacBook Pro Harry Leo Gryffindor.

Hideous name you say? Caving into all that Harry Potter craze (well maybe...).

I beg to differ, it has meaning behind it! I have the same birthday and star sign (Leo) as both Harry Potter and his maker, J.K. Rowling. Watching the very last installment (boo hoo!) of the Harry Potter movie series (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2) was also part of my birthday celebrations.

Plus, I am completely infatuated by the whole Harry Potter universe (Muggles, wands, charms, potions etc) and currently going through my second bout of childish Harry Potter obsession - the first craze having occurred maybe about a decade ago when the books first came out. I can't believe it is all over! At least for now (fingers crossed).

The concept of Gen X / Y / Z and our "prolonged adolescence" alas is true. :P Sadly. Or maybe not so sadly...whateverrr!

I think that the current Mac OS X Lion this MacBook Pro comes with also pairs in nicely with "Leo".

Am I over-doing it? Probably...but what the heck. :D Everyone needs a geeky indulgence every now and then.

Whatever it is, Harry Leo Gryfindor is definitely going to cause me a few late nights!

Thank you Beebs! <3 <3 <3
