Because i am a dork…
As if the number of hours spent in my carrel everyday weren’t indicator enough… or the insane thrill i got when i was able to decipher an entire hand in Visigothic script earlier today… ZS sent me a link to the most awesome item ever!
BookBook: The laptop cover that makes your Mac look like a leather-bound edition of something you probably can’t afford since you buy things like laptops.
It was a timely suggestion. Sunday i spent a good hour trying to find the PERFECT laptop case - but decided that i didn’t really need to spend more money than i am already on things like… actual books. Of course, if i had found the cover with my favourite Van Gogh (one of the cherry tree in blossom paintings) i might be singing a different tune. I also might be less tempted by the $80 leather option which, unfortunately, also appears to offer the most actual protection. I hate that my laptop cover is bright pink - it screams STEAL ME.
Particularly irritating in the latest $400-some-odd book spending spree is the large number of booksellers on Abebooks who seem to think i am dumb enough to pay more than the amazon list price PLUS shipping for expensive monographs on, you guessed it, palaeography.

OK, that case stuff is pretty damned cool. I’m clearly at least as geeky as you, as I *really* want one now. A total waste of money I won’t engage in, but still very cool.
