was flipping through Digital Life today and have fallen in love with the new sony cyber-shot DSC-NR1. it's 8.1 megapix, 3.8 x 2.4 x 0.9 inches, 151g and DAMN BLOODY CHIO! so, in case you've got like $899 in spare change, and you're wondering what to get me for christmas this year, here's a suggestion:




it'll only be out towards the later part of the month, but don't worry too much about that because hey i can wait a few days ;)

sigh. that's what i hate about technology. every time you get some new gadget and think that it's the hottest cutest thing ever, in a few days some new thing pops up and you feel really cheated because you know should have got that and not this. by this i'm referring to my canon ixus which is black and actually pretty darn chio in its own right, BUT at 4 megapix it just can't compare! oh well. i shall comfort myself by remembering that that's 50% less pimples on my face and anyway nobody looks that great in close-ups...

anyway, moving on from cameras...

my new favourite sports car is the 2005 jaguar xk8. it's too longish in the front and abit abrupt at the back so it's definitely not as chio as the classic xk 120 of the 1950s:


the classic xk 120- die, merc!

BUT with a 4.2 litre V8 engine, 300-400 brake horsepower, acceleration of 0-60 in 6.1s and torque of 303lb-ft at 4100 rpm, it sounds pretty good to me! if you're concerned about which colour i'd like best, notice too that i have a thing for red:




when i'm rich and famous, i'll have a garage full of jaguars and maybe lamborghinis, that is, if they start coming up with nice cars again. the current gallardo and murcielago models are all too boxy and angular- i mean, what do they think this is, a batman movie??? wake up dudes! plus, it helps if you have a pronounceable name, i would think.

teehee :p off to study bio S now :p
