PowerBooks and Picture Windows.

I'm pleased to say that my home computing issue will be soon a thing of the past: a new PowerBook was ordered on Monday, expected delivery early next week. Yippee! Can't wait to get the new machine, and also the ability to surf in the comfort of my own home; work-surfing requires a `look out behind you' tension that isn't always comfortable.

That aside, to today's picture: urban living has many perks and enjoyments, and one of the big ones for me is getting to look into people's windows (in passing, of course, and never in the fogged-up-face-print-on-glass kind of way) while walking around at night. I love the look into an aspect of someone else's life: wall-colours, art, books, etc., etc. Rarely are people glimpsed, just rooms and decor, but each window frames a lifestyle like a painting, leaving only imagination to fill in the story, and create the characters. There's also the thrill of unseen observation, and a tingle of impropriety and misunderstood motivations. I can't help but look and wonder.
