I amazed myself today (I know, not hard huh). I went to Circuit City and looked around for a long while and didn’t buy a thing! I went there thinking I might pick up the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack (though I haven’t even seen the movie yet). However, the soundtrack has not been released yet (comes out July 22)—so I could not buy it. There was a new trance compilation out that I auditioned and want, but somehow I convinced myself not to buy it… as I convinced myself not to buy several other things as well. How amazing is that—a store that in recent months I have spent quite a bit of money and I didn’t so much as buy a CD or DVD… I was a little amazed myself when I walked out the door empty handed.
Later in the evening I went over to Jeff’s house as all the parts for his new computer had arrived and he was going to put it together. For the last 3 years he has watched me try to build (and subsequently get frustrated with the snags involved with building) computers and upgrading, etc. Things went fairly smoothly with some relatively minor bumps along the way… until we got to the video card. For some reason the unit wouldn’t power up with the Radeon 9700 Pro All-in-Wonder was plugged in. Odd… I’m still not sure if Jeff has figured out what the problem was. Very frustrating, to say the least.
While we were over there I noticed these giant fish-shaped pillows in the corner of Jeff’s room, hehehe. This one in particular apparently died chocking on a Pixie Stick, heh. Anyways, there’s Steve with his huge catch!
