So my friends elected to move our hanging out plans from tonight to Wednesday. Sort of a double-edged sword for me:
On the one hand, it sucks because now I have nothing to do but stay home and hang out with my new computer.
On the other hand, it's awesome because now I have nothing to do but stay home and hang out with my new computer.
Read it again and you'll get it. For those who don't know, I'm now the proud owner of a much more powerful gaming machine. The processor has 8 cores, the graphics card jumps up and down on my old one and laughs, every feature superior to the old box in every way. (Incidentally, I'm looking to sell the old one on the cheap, like $200 maybe. Still a pretty good machine, doncha know.)
Just in time for Champions Online, and later on Star Trek Online. And who knows? This machine might persuade me to re-up for Warhammer when my current MMO account runs out for the month. I'll be interested to see how they've improved it.
It runs WoW, smooth as glass. Of course it does. Computers from almost a DECADE ago can run WoW with little trouble. I haven't had the chance to try it out on the Burning Sea yet, mostly because of the headache involved with installing it on Vista (I am really sorry again for that, Josh) and a great many of my other games are sitting there staring at me accusingly, wondering what's taking so long. I'll get to you soon guys, I promise.
In other news... I had an Idea wander across my mind this morning. It deserves the capital letter, I think, since it is the type of notion that large chains of novels are made of. It's safe to say that I'm truly feeling the proverbial "itch" now. My father has offered to help me fix my typewriter. Since I have some free time tonight, I think I'll take it on over and tinker with it with him.
Keep the faith. I will be a novelist. I *will* achieve this.

Hey, I can't help that I only got about 3 hours of disturbed sleep! :)
Neither of us slept well last night. I didn't figure you wanted to be around while we were near comatose.
I didn't even know there was anything wrong with the typewriter.
I don't care if you fix the Royal and use it or use the typewriter I bought you or if you even write it longhand. You've been keeping me in suspense for too long, my dear. Tsk!
God help me, I miss WoW...seeing it the other night was like spotting a long-absent friend in the produce section, and you can't help but think they look damned good for their age.
Well, it's waiting for me. I just have to get through this week and next! My tickets are booked for Azeroth. ;)
