My Inner Geek Is Tingling…
1So, I just bought a new Motherboard, Graphics Card, and Power Supply…and I feel like a geek because I’m all giddy about getting it in the mail lol…
heres a roundup what I got 
- Motherboard: ZOTAC AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard $69.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
- Graphics Card: XFX GeForce 9400 GT 1GB 128-bit $59.99
- Power supply: COOLMAX 550W ATX12V Power Supply $29.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
click to see where and what exactly I bought….and to the some saying “thats a crappy PSU” or “eh, even the 9600 is alot better”….heres what your forgetting….not everyone has tons of money to blow on PC eq haha…this was a very buget based purchase…
- so yeah first off the motherboard, I got it because it’s a AMD (woo) compatible with Athlon 64 X2(dual core) Processors….also it has 6 SATA connections….cause yeah…i need at least 3…4 or more preferred…and it was pretty freakin cheap for a decent spec’s on a mobo….
- Next the Graphics Card….I know…I know…some say for $10-30 more I could have got the ATI HD3650 (512 not 1gb but still)…but…I didn’t need to spend $10-30 more…that and I just trust Nvidia over ATI anyday…and I know that’s odd considering a prefer AMD over Intel..since AMD makes ATI lol…but I do…get over it!
and It’ll work fine for what I need it…Photoshop, Flash, and Casual Gaming…might be able to run freakin Crysis but I don’t want to anyway lol…
- last is the Power Supply….yes I know it looks sucky and not super high wattage…but…I needed one with 3 or more SATA’s once again…cause yeah dell is gay and made everything the Harddrive and Dvd Drive need a SATA power connector instead of a standard MOLEX one…yeah…I know…freaking gay right? anyway…yeah this one has 4…so I can even add a 3rd Hard Drive Later on if needed
so woo…
and yeah…I found and purchased all of this spur of the moment at like 2am lol total price after shipping for all was $212.86 (before $40 in rebates) after I send the rebate stuff it’ll be $172.86 total for all
anyway, Ill prob blog again tonight….cause yeah my day has had nothing fun or interesting today lol…but I had to say the above cause I’m Happy
Cleaning Cubicles Sucks…
0So, today was quite boring…I woke up read my daily letter from Hattie (none-ya) and did school and texted people like Alyssa, Josh, and Joseph…and that was it 
until about 6pm anyway…
Then, the fun really began *cough* sarcasm *cough*…I had to leave about 6:30PM to help mom and dad clean offices apparently over this week they have picked up a side-job of cleaning a whole office alone 2 days a week….and apparently its too much for just them so i got recruited….yeah fun right?
and wow….wasn’t too bad till we hit the cubicles…I felt like I walked into a strip of the comic Dilbert…seriously…wow…then about 8 we finished up and left.
after we got home at 8:30′ish I called Hattie since she is no longer grounded from the phone (yay!) and talked to her till she had to get off at 9PM but I’m still happy I got to talk to her *muah* love you baby…
then I continued to text everyone till it was down to just alyssa (yay having sleepless friends to join in my sleeplessness ) and I got on my Photoshop and made Hattie’s Valentines Card…came out nice i think. you?
of coarse it’s pretty simple….but i was trying to be minimal considering my printer is low on color and b&w ink haha. and for those that dont know…you always stick the front on the right and the back on the left….otherwise your card will open backwards lol. I learned this many-a-year ago…
and yeah, pretty much after that Ive been doing nothing…so Ill quit blogging my bland life hah.
Driving Lesson, Flammable, and bleh
2So, today started off for me at 12pm hah. And it started off with me waking up to eat a burger and fries from the king of grease, yes, McDonald’s…So I did that, and then did my school (well most ) then I was about to get on and work on a site (and possibly my first wordpress theme 
) when dad said come outside.
So I did, and yeah, he made me drive around the block and pull into a driveway and back, then back the other side of the street and back to our house, fun fun…I did ok he said, but I know i kept hitting the accelerator too much lol. I’m workin’ on it! haha (in case you don’t know, I currently only have a permit so I’m in the process of learning how to drive before i get my real license in April (woo woo).
Then yeah, we went to the library while he got the cars oil changed across the street. and I found a book of facts, and a CSS + XHTML book i got, oh, and they had the very first Pink Panther movie…one of the old good ones I talked about…
Then we headed home after the car was finished and headed to Wal-Mart to get groceries….exciting day so far no? and yeah got all that stuff and I got part of Hattie’s Valentines gift I’m making her a card I’m gonna print (one of the benefits of being a Graphics Designer lol)
And then we headed by Circuit City since their going outta business i wanted to check their prices on some stuff…and yeah, even with the discounts its still high hah…so i left there and we went to the Dollar Tree where mom found a few things, and I had a strange urge to buy silly string? So I did…Blue at that
Then yeah, headed home unloaded groceries then headed back to Denton to go to church, where i had fin with friends despite Hattie not getting to come 
i did get to talk to her for about 10min though, but that was to tell me she wasn’t coming 
but, that makes it a week without seeing her for sure now I miss you so much baby! *muah*.
But I still had some fun with friends, heard some good music and a awesome message from Chris like always *wink* 
Oh, and on the way home dad randomly pulled over and said “get out” and i was confused…yeah, he made me drive from there to home haha.
And that concludes my day, well besides texting Aaryn, Callie, Banana, and Lyssa…they keep me alive and going texting me
