... and I was like, "Hey man, you can't do that to him! (A) Monkey's are vegetarians, and (B) you're not old enough to drive."
So, I'm pretty stoked about getting a new computer. My old one lasted me a pretty long time and admittedly its still a decent machine and will probably go downstairs to hook up with the tele as an E-machine or a server... or both. But yeah, with all my going number of toys like the cameras and the miniDV, my AMD 1.2 was struggling. So I went to the computer fair on the weekend and got me a complete machine for under 2 hundred. P4 2.8, a gig of RAM and a 256 vid card. So far, SO good.
The winter recess is coming up for me... thank god. (should god be capitalized? god is a name... but its a name for which he/she is all encompassing and in all things according to the book. and by being all things, by definition is a common noun and therefor NOT capitalized.) Anyway. Yeah, vacation. Doesn't ever seem like vacation for me though. Everytime I have a break, a long weekend, or just a day off it seems like theres always something to do thats work. House stuff, my Mom's house stuff, re-flooring the in-law's house, painting some kids room. in the 2.5 weeks I have off, I'm looking forward to 3 days, everything else is gonna kinda be on the fly.
1) Christmas with the cousins... all of them. Well, 95% of them. It'll be the first time all of us will be together since 2004, and the first time we all get together for Christmas... all 30 of us.
2) Hanging out with the boys to watch UFC 79 Liddell/Silva & GSP/Hughs. Should be a damn good fight night. Except when its over and all the dudes just look like they wanna fight someone. And then eventually it happens when someone picks a fight with your buddy and you get sucker punched in the jaw by some stupid guy that you have to throw a knee into his chest and then drop his face on the ground.
3) Taking my nephews to go play in the snow. Shovel, boards, lots of snow. No fear. Should be fun.
I'm posting all early cause I got out of work really late, and then got home and knocked out. Slept for about 4 hours and then woke up. Been awake ever since. Ate some cup'o noodles, did some research on video editing software, installed some more software, updated some drivers... and froze my a s s off. It's freakin cold at 3 in the morning! Stupid tilted axis.
