It’s Friday. You may say a quiet, “Yay,” now. ‘Cause no one can take that away from you.
I gotta say, ever since I played around with a Dual Core system, my upgrade sense has been tingling something terrible. I NEED a dual core system. I don’t care if it’s AMD or Intel. I mean, performance wise, it’s a minutia, really. But the raw love of seeing a dual core system boot up faster than you can sneeze, or the way it makes everything faster….sigh.
It really really needs to start raining money from the sky.
So now, half of me wants to buy a system I can’t afford – but want, because I’m kinda tired of building the damn things. The other half wants me to spend just enough money to upgrade the old one, just to have the dual core.
Another half thinks I’m stupid and need to mellow out for a bit, but he gets outvoted so much I dunno why he bothers.
Oh snap, I’m hearing rumors that AMD is going to totally slash prices come July 23rd, when Conroe launches. Ok, I suppose I need to hold my smoke a bit. I can do it. I think.
Meanwhile, this weekend I need to pray for no rain, because daddy gonna be riding a jetski, and ain’t nothing stopping him from doing that.

Alright, that’s the stuff. Time to bask in the glory that is Friday.
You go have a day, a weekend, and though I’ve said it before – you may put your pants on one leg at a time, but all that means is that at some point in the day, you are half assed.
:disa:
