blah blah blah laptop blah blah blah Disney

As might be indicated by my previous post, I have a laptop.

He is a black Toshiba Satellite and his name is Fakir. I love him dearly and he's almost ready for me to use; he just needs iTunes, my music, my artwork, and Creative Suite. Vista is pissing me off, but I'm learning to get around it; I think I found a way to save files where I want them to be saved, so that's nice. If I can make that work, and turn off the resource-draining OMGSHOPRETTY visual style, I think we'll be in business. He's a fine laptop to take to Disney. :D

So with that taken care of, and as I start thinking about what else to pack, I've decided I need to get together a Stupid Little Things Bag.

You know the little necessities around the house, the ones that seem so trivial and useless until you need one and don't have any? Stupid little things.

So far, I've planned for:

• Pens/pencils
  
• Pocketknife (knife, scissors, file, screwdriver tip, tweezers, toothpick)
  
• Matches
  
• Calculator
  
• Tissues
  
• Batteries
  
• Measuring tape
  
• Nail clippers
  
• Rubber bands
  
• Paper clips
  
• Staples

Any other ideas?

Ooooh, good thought.

It will definitely be checked, this is gonna be apartment stuff. I don't think I'll have a burning need for a pocketknife before I've checked in. (Watch, now I will.)

Ooh, if it's an apartment Stupid Little Things Bag, add in a basic toolbox, too. Or at least a flathead screwdriver, a few screws, a boxcutter, some twine, and a hammer.

And a flashlight. I'll shut up now. :3

Well, re: the tools I think we've got maintenance we can contact, so I may not need those. But just in case. :3

Flashlight, got it. <3
