I indulged in the juxtaposition of consumer electronic and commuting today. I can't quite get it to work. I'm not saying that I can't get the PSP to my work, I can do that. I'm not a complete moron.
I am, in fact, a half rapier wit. What I can't do is wear headphones while carrying the PSP in my pocket. Oh, I can put the headphones on, sit still and listen to music. I can feed the cables into my clothes to make it look like I know what I'm doing. But the cord slips down the neck of my shirt and when I look left it pulls the left earphone out. (of my ear, geesh) As I walk, the cables work their way downwards pulling the earphones out. The PSP bounces around in my pocket, but if I put it in my backpack I'm likely to strangle myself putting the back pack on, or yank the headphones out of the jack when I take it back off.
Finally, I have found something I suck at. I can't seem to get the remote to clip onto a convenient part of my clothing. Basically, I get set up in a particular mode with it's necessary trade-offs, then need to get undressed to reconfigure into a different mode, like sitting.
This can be a problem when getting onto a bus.
Two other things before I sleep. (well three and a link)
1) You sit down. You pick up the laptop, turn it on and settle to do important work. (read comics, write blog about comics) The laptop takes up all of the room on your lap, except the little bit between your torso and the front of the laptop. It's always there, even if your gut over hangs the thing. It is this gap that calls to cats. It calls them and says, "Free space for sleep."
Jasmine is currently in that gap, generating enough heat to power a small city. It an amazing spot that is always comfortable. Always. Even when you (as a cat) need to crane your neck at ninety degrees to fit against the armrest. I'd send photos, but Felicity is in evening hibernation.
2) Kill Bill was on tonight. On free-to-air TV. It was cut as much as the bad-guys.
Also, David Boreanaz is back on TV as Angel in CSI on a show called Bones. Which is about Vampires and the Wraith from Stargate Atlantis coming to an agreement about how to divide up the human race, which was embarrassing because I had friends over. Wait, that was a dream.

Alsoalso, Jasmine has the same evening hibernation affliction as Felicity. Right now she (Jasmine) is sitting in the gap, crammed under the laptop, all feet together on one side sitting up and watching the screen. And she keeps nodding off.
It's cute.
She'd be asleep already if I could stop myself from laughing.
