Laptop Goodness and More

Last night I bought my eagerly awaited laptop! ^_^ It seems like a decent buy, being about $750 as opposed to $1,000 or more. Unfortunately, It's 4:50 am and I just got home about maybe half an hour ago or less, and I have to wait for the laptops battery to charge before turning it on....and I'm quite sleepy already.
Besides going laptop shopping with a heavy wallet, I went to the movies, which I hadn't done in a couple of weeks. A shame really, for there were far more movies to see than we had time. The chosen winners for Movies for the Night? Cassanova and the much-talked-about Brokeback Mountain. Come to think of it...that's about 6 hours straight of Heath Ledger. Weird. Anyway, Both were good movies in my opinion. Cassanova was silly and light-hearted, properly entertaining. Brokeback Mountain was sad and sort of depressing. But then again, movies that show life so plainly for what and how it is always seem so depressing to me. The ending caught me quite off guard. But then again, what else could I have expected? If I hadn't seen it with only Sean and Shuen, I probably would have cried, or at least gotten a lot more teary-eyed than I did. The movie did a good job portraying awkwardness and other situations in real life and conveying them so that the audience could feel it too, I think.
I wish I had been slightly more in tune with the movie when I watched it than I was though....While it affected me and I was paying attention and fairly caught up, I wasn't as much as I could have.
Sean fell asleep about 1/3 into the movie. What a waste of $7 and a good movie. But meh, can't blame the poor guy for being extremely tired. After all he did wake up early and go to work for half the day and such.
Shuen fell asleep for a little bit too I think, but he was conscious for the whole thing really, and despite his previous grievances and qualms about watching the "gay cowboy movie", he came out saying it was really good.
I wish Yany had been able to watch it with us...but alas she had a curfew to comply with. I think that I'll watch it with her when she does though. To get the full effect of it.
The post-movie drive was somber and quiet and mellow. Songs on the radio were just right for continuing the mood the movie left stuck on you. I was in a daze driving down the dark empty streets, the white lines my guide as my mind wandered aimlessly, sometimes not thinking at all, and me just wanting to drive on and on forever. Something about driving on and on and seeing everything on a neverending roadtrip is exquisitely enticing to me.
I think I would love that very much....Driving from town to town, exploring and experiencing every inch of this continent, the sky and the stars the only thing the same throughout. Even if I can't live forever like that, I'd like to at least take a shorter and smaller route a few times in my life. One very soon too.
Would I want to drive alone or with someone? I've no idea. I think that for certain parts, certain days, driving and exploring alone would be best. But other days, it would be suiting to have your best someone sitting next to you to sing along to the radio and laugh when you take a wrong turn and get lost. *sighs* That in itself is a dilemma. Here's hoping to its resolve by the time I start the engine.
And here's to a good night's rest for me and anyone reading this...for my eyelids are far too heavy now, despite my laptop not being fully charged yet. Oh well. Looks like I'll have to wait till tomorrow to tinker. Goodnight and Goodbye.
