Tonight I’m listening to some of my older playlists. I forget how much I listened to Manson. And I’m falling in love with the Scissor Sisters all over again. I guess I could type my biology field notes, but instead I watched Futurama from my iPod and drank chai. I’m going to have to write two essays by Wednesday. And my computer is still selling to this random guy with zero feedback on eBay. Why oh why didn’t I just slip one line in there about people with under five feedback not being able to bid? Oh well. I’m not shipping anything until that paypal money is safely in my bank. Anyway, tonight I did the final research on my new system. I’m getting pretty much the most expensive ASUS motherboard on NewEgg. It has a ridiculous amount of features though, so it should provide me quite a bit of expandability in the future. I even downloaded the most recent BIOS revisions for my new mobo and put them on floppies. I also downloaded the manual. It’s almost the same as the other motherboard I was going to get. The reason I didn’t get the other one is because I realized that it doesn’t support my processor, it just has the same socket. That was a brain fart that probably would’ve caused me a lot of anguish if I hadn’t doublechecked. But I’m the master of doublechecking and triple checking, because I don’t trust myself at all.
I’ve been adding up the prices of this stuff, and getting enough components to make the system run is going to be probably $200 more (not including shipping or taxes) then what I’m going to get from selling my computer. I’m having some seller’s remorse, but it will all melt away once my new dual-core system powers on. I would call it a dream system, but my dream system would be a PowerMac G5 that cost $800. Those new 65 nm chips that Intel is supposed to come out with this year had better be blazing fast, or I don’t think I’m ever going to get a Mac. I need to go to sleep. I need to be productive tomorrow. I should see if my dad has some sort of Dremel-ish tool so that I can install a fan at the top of my new case. That should keep me busy until my auction finishes. Why do stressful things have to happen in threes? Well, the more essays I finish, the lower my stress level. In case I didn’t mention it, I have two 3-pagers due, one in psychology and one in cinema. I need to get to sleep so I can get a start on tomorrow. I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL SPRING BREAK!!!!! EEK!!!
I don’t think I’m going to be able to live that long without my computer, so I’m going to totally bring it. (I’m sorry Kelly, but it’s going to be faster than your G5 in multithreaded applications.) If you’re willing, I challenge you to a Photoshop bake-off!
PS: Royce randomly called me today. I thought he might want to hang out later, but he never called again. I wish he would call. He’s so darn cute. It’s too bad he doesn’t like having his picture taken. :(
