I'm not that big of a fan of Fridays anymore. Technically it's my Monday, and it's the one day that Dan's not here, so I don't have anyone to nerd out about as far as WoW. `^_^
It's been a good week, though I have like no energy whatsoever today. Add on top of that that they've blocked Gmail on my computer again (Gmail just won't load, so I'm not really sure what's going on). *sigh* It's highly annoying.
Anyway, so yes. GameNoc was actually a lot of fun. Lauren and Kevin made an appearance (along with some of the usuals like Brack and Brittany, Seb and Hannah). It was some good times. The game of Settlers we played was a little chaotic seeing as how much vodka was floating around. `^_^
Really don't even want to think about yesterday. -_-
Stef got a shiny new toy, and man, I really want one now. :) Costco is having a sale at the end of June (just in time for my bonus!). It's a Hewlett-Packard laptop. The ad only has that it has 2GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, comes with a CD/DVD RW drive, and it's a Intel Celeron (I think) Duo processor for like $999. Not sure how good it would be for gaming (I can't see an HP having that great of a graphics card), but I wouldn't really be getting it for gaming anyway (yay school!). We'll see.
Been getting a little bit more back into anime and manga. Been reading DearS...oh man. :) I want my own Ren. Or I wouldn't mind having a Sensei like that. :)
Well, back to work. So much I wanted to get done this past weekend...-_-

Date: 2006-06-09 05:38 pm (UTC)Last GameNoc was not so much fun to me. There are some reasons why that I would rather not discuss, but also because of the number of people and the chaos. I tend not to do very well in that kind of social environment. I operate much more smoothly in the smaller scale social gatherings that are typical of GameNoc.
I would like to get one of those Apple MacBooks. Install Bootcamp on it and I will be able to natively run Mac OS, Windows, and Linux all on the same machine. Plus two gigs of RAM, a 2.16 gigahurtz Intel Core Duo processor, and an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with quarter gig of video RAM. Trouble is, it costs some where in the three-thousand dollar range.
Funny story; the Christmas before last I downloaded the entire DearS series. Ugg, I just could not get your damn avatar out of my head! I had to watch the series to purge it. I would not mind having a sensei like that either. But then I have a strange fetish that way.

Date: 2006-06-09 05:51 pm (UTC)Yeah, the HP laptop is only $999, so it's very affordable in a laptop sense.
I watched DearS and really liked it. :) A ton of fan service, but I'm not complaining at all. :)
Ah! There is that bewitching avatar again! O_O
Date: 2006-06-09 06:02 pm (UTC)True, that is a very affordable laptop. I wanted to get the expensive one though, because it will be my next computer rather than just another toy for me, so I consider it to be worth the investment. I just need to save up for a few months...
If you replace the line "I'm your slave" in the opening music with the line "You're my slave" then you would have a song that my cat would sing.
Re: Ah! There is that bewitching avatar again! O_O
Date: 2006-06-10 01:54 am (UTC)I don't mind getting something a little cheaper since my laptop will mostly be a "school and traveling" kind of computer, not my main one. I might not be able to play WoW on the highest settings, but with that much RAM I should be able to. :)
Heh, heh. :)

Date: 2006-06-09 09:02 pm (UTC)They also have a coupon for a Toshiba laptop. The laptop about the same (1 GB RAM instead of 2 GB) but with the coupon it's $899. That's one's for mid-August I think.

Date: 2006-06-09 09:04 pm (UTC)Thing is, I dunno if any of their computer come with XP Pro, because I'm sick of this Home edition bs.
I may get one via Newegg.com for a similar price, we'll see. *ponders*
