Today Dec 26th
Spent the day waking up at my parents and then we watched the lovely Deanna open presents since she didn’t make it out to my aunts yesterday and then we went over to my dad’s house. That was a fun time got a drinking game chess set. All the pieces are little shot glasses. Since I became 21 every gift is drinking related hmmmm. I still got a Hawaiin Lei or Lay or whatever of booze that I haven’t touched yet. I did try the Saki they got me not exactly my bag but at least I know from now on. I got a $15 Red Robin Gift card from a lady at work and the caption since I was never able to buy you a drink for your 21st. Everybody must think I am some kind of drinking machine. I am educated about drinks I have read all the Bar guids and what’s in drinks so I guess people think I must drink a lot. Truth be told I have only been drunk 3 times since my 21st.. My 21st (Of Course Your an Idiot Once), 4th of July Party, and Darin’s Landlords Wife’s Birthday Party. So far my drinking habits are just chilling and if I have a beer around I might have one perhaps. I have to drive most of the time so I tend to choose being sober over having any drinks. Can’t say so much for the rest of my friends but hey whatever makes them happy.
Anyways I was going to spend my gift cards and cash I was given today at the local Best Buy. Since I was lucky enough to still be an employee at Best Buy (This is just beyond Funny) and was eligble for the Intel Retail Program. I get this motherboard Intel Desktop Board D915PBL and this Processor Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 550 supporting HT Technology Rounding out at 3.4ghz. Which is about 1ghz faster then my current setup. And the motherboard is amazing PCI Express Instead of AGP, Four DDR2 Slots for up to 4GB of RAM at 533mhz, Four SATA Ports and 1 IDE for Floppy Drives and 1 for a DVD Burner or CD Burner. Also to top the deal off a full version of Windows XP Pro Normally this deal would cost $959. But since I am a Best Buy Employee (Not) But Best Buy told Intel that I was so I got this deal for $200.
Now I told people at work about it and most of the responses were “I Hate You” or “Dude Go Fuck Yourself” or “WHATTTTTT!” So this leads me into a new project. Will bring my total to 2 Desktop Computers and 1 Laptop. Now people like to ask why do you need so many. I always like to answer why not. Take my old one and make it into a Music File Server with Linux. Or maybe I could get Two World of Warcraft Account and play one on my laptop and the other on my new creation.
Get to do Case Mod’s again. ReDo all the wiring. Good way to fill some time until that one person comes back in Feb. Now I just have to decide if I should buy RAM, HDD, VIDEO CARD with my Best Buy Cash or use that on DVD’s and just order everything from NewEgg
Such a Day. Maybe I could post Photos of this new creation. I should come up with a name for it. Perhaps something like Skeletor or TMan. Cause my current setup is TPipoMac and TPipoPC. But just to keep the naming conventions in tact I will just go With TPipoPC1 and TPipoPC2 ahh so many choices that will all come later.
Alrighty Enough with this Nerd Post. =)
