My sister informed me that she is thinking about a trip to New York to see her road posse. Could be an opportunity to do some long distance drinking! I'm just not sure about putting the money down on a ticket after investing so much into the computer. (City of VillainsBut I would definitely like to visit. You know, just to say I've been there.

Last update on my computer. Still a warm machine due to the video cards, but not one crash since the new motherboard. Games look great at maxed settings. It's a good thing ( Read more... )

New motherboard. $240. Computer works. Still runs slightly hot. But it works and I am pleased with the results.

Since Thursday I've had my new computer and since Thursday it has locked up every time I've tried a game on it. And occasionally when I play video. It's not a right away freeze, but more like after a few minutes of playing. I thought at first it was a conflict with my soundcard...nope. I then thought it was overheating...nope.

That's right, 8 years ago I signed a contract with the government and agreed to serve 3 years of active duty in the navy. Upon completion of said term I entered into the inactive reserves.

Like I said, I don't even know why we bother going home for Christmas ( Read more... )

Maybe one of the worst parts of long road trips for me is that I never have much I want to do. Meaning I have to sit in a car for 6 hours and pretty much just think. Thinking can be a good thing when you need to...and bad when you don't need to. At the moment I'd rather fill that time with mild distractions. No chance. For some reason this ( Read more... )

I believe there will be drinking in epic proportions this weekend. Well, Saturday. Ok, today already. I probably need it. Who cares that the doctor told me a long time ago that I shouldn't drink so much. Like any "alcoholic" I can stop whenever I want to. Only thing is I haven't had a drink in weeks...so I don't really count as an alcoholic ( Read more... )
