I'm back. And thanks to the extra 30 bucks or so I paid for expedited shipping, I'll bet nobody

noticed I was gone.

Amidst all the other crap going on this week, my computer just died. Something physically wrong with it. Couldn't tell if it was motherboard, processor or power supply so I had to buy a new one of all three just to be safe. And I had to buy new RAM too because the motherboard uses DDR2 and my computer was using DDR1.

Needless to say, I'm out slightly under 300 bucks. I basically had to buy 60% of a new computer. And pay for expedited shipping so I'd have a working computer by the time I got back to school on Monday. The end of the semester's coming up, I have three papers due, and since I'm on spring break right now I thought I'd have time to actually work on them. Between the unexpected driving around of my grandpa to various doctor appointments and this, I don't think I'll end up getting much done this week.

9. Yeah, that's what Uncle Owen says, but he's gone most of the time "farming moisture."

Dealing with Aunt Beru in his absence, I want a droid that will distract her.

4. There's no way I could run an R2 unit on my old processor...

... maybe the new dual-core one I just got. :P

Although if I ever did make an actual robot, I'd probably do something cute and unassuming. But not really. Like a pikachu. But with actual tasers built in. :evilgrin:

7. well, if i had a robot, i'd have a spacecraft

and i would need a droid to fix shit if imperial forces engaged me and damaged my spaceship.

8. Yeah, it looks like its gonna be one of those weeks.

On the bright side, I don't have to go anywhere until noon tomorrow so I can actually sleep in for the first time in... ever. Woohoo! :P
