I have long been known for my crapass luck, so I shouldn’t be surprised when my plans fall apart at the seams. All yesterday afternoon I had my eye on an ebay auction, for a nice-looking 500 MHz G3 Powerbook. When I came upon it bidding was around $152, but skyrocketed up to $395 by the end of the day, which was out of my price range. No problem, I thought, as I had a most secret method style backup plan. But the rug’s been pulled out from under me. The 300 MHz G3, and my second choice 292 MHz G3, that I’d intended to purchase tomorrow morning (in an undisclosed but legit location) have both been sold! Grrr! Aaargh! And honestly, I do not have the time or patience for ebay (specifically for laptop acquisition, I did score some sweet new winter boots for the little man yesterday). So far the only items I’ve procured for my upcoming NaNoWriMo activities are a new Chococat notebook, and pen and pencil case (with pen and pencil). But that alone won’t get me to my 50,000 words.
