Spent a bit more money than I'm totally comfortable with today (which is to say I spent money today). I'm upgrading my computer. I didn't expect to, but I've been wanting to for a while now. When I got back from school Joey showed me todays Fry's add where they had a nice deal on a CPU motherboard combo and ram to go with it. Much more affordable ( Read more... )

I've got a new trinket on my computer desk to go with things like my dime planchet, bismuth crystal and stuffed Cthulhu (both the small Toy Vault version and one from Chaosium). My mom found a fired bullet in the street right behind where she parked her car. I've got some pictures but they're all about half a Meg each and I don't have anything to ( Read more... )

I know my readership is currently all ( Read more... )

On the way back from Davis today I saw a car with plates that read PV=NRT. To whoever owns that car, I salute your geekyness!

Both today and yesterday my drive to DVC took me about half an hour door to door, during prime commute time. I was expecting much worse. It used to take me 30-45 minutes just to get to Pittsburg BART back when I was commuting to San Francisco, and at least an hour to get to Martinez when I was working there. The worst bit was always from here to ( Read more... )

Well, I finally broke down and got a Live Journal account. I resisted for quite some time because of all the silly LJ drama, the fact that I don't have much to say all that ofter ("Well today I read some political blogs and played video games." doesn't make for exciting reading) and because I don't have too much of a social life. I do have a few ( Read more... )
