I’ll be moving to somewhere else in San Diego. Our lease is up in December, and the new grad housing policy doesn’t allow us to renew.

As for True Blood, that show is ***FULL*** of gorgeous guys. Ryan, where have you heard that most people prefer Alexander Skarsgård? I find him pretty utterly unattractive with his Vampire makeup on, but there’s a great YouTube video of him doing an interview; he’s quite hot in his “normal human” state.

In addition to Ryan, I’m a *huge* fan of the actor that plays Hoyt, Jim Parrack, the actor that plays Sam Merlotte, Sam Trammell, and the actor that played Godric, Allan Hyde (on the right), who they somehow managed to make look a HELL of a lot older than 19, and who posted some incredibly dorky pictures of himself on his twitter stream last year.

I go back and forth on the Bill Compton actor, Stephen Moyer — sometimes he’s hot, sometimes not.

And Anna Paquin is one of those rare women that could almost turn me straight (Alex Kingston in those high heels at the beginning of “The Time of Angels” in the latest Doctor Who season is another).

Ryan — congratulations on the car, too — where are you moving to?

I’ve only ever had one hands-on test-drive of an iPad, courtesy of @coverthomo. When we met for lunch down by MIT a few months ago he brought his along and let me play with it. The iPad. He let me play with the iPad. *ahem* Anyway, I got pretty good with the keyboard in landscape mode pretty fast, so I can see that with practice it really would start to feel like a real keyboard.

I’m glad you thumbed your nose at the delightful Vanston, Craig. All us flying monkeys know you’re staying with your parents to be all responsible and save money, and not in a sad little way at all.

My last splurge was a pair of flip flops with sparkles on them . $10.00. Whoopee!

I like the idea of the iPad. First my iPod touch, and now my iPhone has really changed my level of internet connectedness. I check my twitter, e-mail, and a few news sites before I go to bed, and as soon as I wake up. I think the iPad would be cool to keep near my bed, as a better browsing tool. However, I shan’t be splurging on that anytime soon because….

What did I splurge on? Well, I “splurged” on a new roof, tree removal, hot water heater, central air, and a new water pump for my car. I spent a lot! So all of that has kind of put a dent in my disposable savings for a little bit. I shouldn’t be considering getting an iPad for a little while.

I previously got the Bluetooth keyboard for my Mac so that I could also use it with my iPhone, and eventually an iPad. If you are going to do a lot of typing on the iPad you may want to consider getting one.

Enjoy your new tool!
