365/290 - Comets, originally uploaded by dragonsinger.

Two of our comets died and the remaining one (the largest in the photo) was lonely so Emma and I bought some new friends: black tail=Teal'c; other medium size=Jack; smaller comets=Mulley&Scalder ; and the remaining larger one is the blond guy (Langley) from the lone gunman.

And for those confused people they're all characters from TV series we've enjoyed over the years.

This is my brand new MacBook Pro. I get it for free - really! It's paid for by our Ministry of Education and my Board of Trustees and is part of a laptop scheme we have here in NZ for all teachers. It's supplied to me on a 3-year lease (the school pays something like $70/quarter to lease it) and at the end of the lease I get the option to purchase if I wish - which is how I also have an iBook and a MacBook in my classroom.
