Refreshed

As you can see (if you refreshed) there's a new layout up. It's a simple looking layout, and the picture files and quite small, so maybe it will load faster. I also added various WordPress hacks, and will be adding more at a later date. Tell me your thoughts.

I think I've finally made up my mind on what components I want to upgrade to. And before you go nuts and say "your a student, where'd you get the money for that?!", I saved up for over a year for it. So here are the components I think I shall buy:

• AMD Athlon XP2500+ Barton Core processor
• ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mainboard
• 2 sticks of Hyundai 256Mb DDR PC3200 RAM

I I'd like to get my hands on a ATI Radeon 9600 XT video card, but will only get it if I can sell the old parts to my mother. Its suck up mode time.

Boxing day

I went to the Boxing Day (the day after Christmas for the rest of the world) sales yesterday and I am now paying for it. Not only did I spend way too much, I also ache from carrying the items which I spent way too much money on. Hopefully the madpony girls can relate. But, as a shop assistant said "That's what the Boxing Day sales are all about".

Yes, it's about pain and brokeness.

I bought way too many pairs of shoes, various tops (including another monkey top), g-strings, some tiny evening bags and a book called 'Molvania' by the panel crew. $200 worth of stuff I wouldn't normally buy, but thought 'what the hell' since it was all %30 to %50 off.

By the way, does anyone want any ham? We have a fridge full of it and no one wants to look at, let alone eat. ?:/

Christmas Day 2003

stress-level: high;
drunkeness-level: amazingly quite low;
turkey-taste: fantastic;
presents: MP3 CD player, weird mirror, money, picture frame;
quotes: "Stop calling the turkey 'he' or 'she', it's name is turk damnit!" "Maybe it's just ornamental?" "Why do I smell burning rubber outside?" "Who burns rubber on christmas day?" "Even though my CD player doesn't work, it still looks shiny" "Hereeee piggy piggy pig pig";
}

Heh, I bet only Tay and the SPB boys will get my very merry CSS christmas. For everyone else that doesn't get it, I'll explain my day so far.

I was woken up at 9am by my family wanting to rip open all my carefully wrapped presents (or my babies as I've loving been calling them over the last few weeks). I got a sweet MP3 CD player, a strange mirror which is makes you look odd (my mother says it's 'ornamental') and money. Which means I'm close to having enough to upgrade.

We took some interesting pictures today, but before you see them I'd like to point out that none of us were drunk at the time these pictures were taken. Even though it looks like some of us were. Click here to see the pictures.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Things

Things you should only ask/tell me if you want your arm ripped off around this time of year...

"You should come to my christmas party, there's going to be a lot of single guys there!?"
"Are you going to your fathers wedding?"
"Don't get me soapy stuff, I'll think you think I stink."
"Isn't this like the 4th time you've had mcdonalds this week?"
"You kind of get insane around christmas, you know that, right?"
"You're getting a gay fairy lamp for christmas, and I'm getting a flash drive."
"Do you think the turkey is a boy or girl?"
"Santa will know you've been bad!"
"I thought you were going to do that 10th pile of washing for me"
"You need a haircut"
"I think that's enough lights on the christmas tree now"

Blogging Rules

I am very annoyed, pissed off, sarcastic, and wanting to vent right now, but I can not do that. I have some blogging rules to stick to (or try to stick too at least), which are:

1. Don't blog about 'them' (because google will index it).
2. Don't blog when you have nothing to say.
3. Don't blog about friends that don't know about my blog, or worse, friends that don't know what a blog is.
4. Don't blog about VPT's (very personal things).
5. Don't blog when drunk (it may seem like a good idea at the time, but it never is, because you will break all the rules).

What I wish to vent about breaks one of the rules, so I shall keep my mouth - or my hands - closed on this occasion. I'll get the chance to vent to some choice friends later tonight. Can't wait.

Until then, I'm going to read the latest wired magazine I picked up before and do some laundry.
