It is vitally important that someone stops me from going out and buying a powerbook and reminding me that I need that money for rent. I've wanted a mac for ages, and have decided now that I'm actually going to get one. The sensible option would be to save up and get one next month (also, sell my desktop) but I'm mostly convinced that having one right NOW would make me do my dissertation (which I am actually doing. But I'd do it better on a new computer). I really have no common sense with money at all.

I also have an annoying amount of things I want to write about that are in no way related to biochemistry (ie, fun) but I really do need to do some work. Care packages can be sent to the QMC library, I keep forgetting to do important things like sleep and feed myself. Is there a programme that will remind me?
