loracsSeen all over my friends LJ's. It's suppose to be about class but I think it's suppositions are little out of date, esp. re: technology. 10 years ago very few people had cell phones, now you're almost an oddity if you don't.
Here's my x's.
(x) your own cell phone
(x) a tv in your bedroom
(x) an ipod (partners do but I don't)
(x) a photo printer (not a dedicated photo printer but it does have all the bells and whistles for making printing photo's easy)
( ) your own phone line
( ) TiVo or a generic digital video recorder
(x) high-speed internet access (aka not dialup)
( ) a surround sound system in bedroom
( ) dvd player in bedroom
( ) at least a hundred DVDs
(x) a childfree bathroom (Since I don't have children this is a given.)
