24: What is going on?
Tonight as I type this, I feel a bit down. Actually lately I have been feeling a bit down, you know what fat people do when they get depressed. We eat like the fat f**ks we are. And now my stomach is growing fast.
My boobs are bigger than Natalie’s, and something must be done sooner rather than later. Now normally you would expect me as a man to say “Oh well, that’s that. Pull yourself together you wimp”, not like go on more of a bender. Except I went one expensive step further than that.
I went and bought a load of PC parts. They come on Saturday. It’s an uber system when it’s finished. 1.5TB of storage, a Geforce 8800 GTX uber gfx card, a geek’s wet dream. And I feel a bit better, after all if I can’t have a really nice car, I want a really nice machine. DAMMIT, I’m allowed!
I can spend money on PC bits again willy nilly despite the noise and the big system once again will be inhabiting the floor and a fair proportion of the desk, seeing as the Monitor is a Dell 24in widescreen affair. Yep, went overboard.
Does anyone have any good ideas of what I can do, and please no obvious jokes. Heard them all and actually invented a few, which are still in use today. Sort of like vintage wine, some of my jokes carry on being funny. Timing, it’s all about timing good people.
Anyway, Harry Potter’s showing Cheshire Oaks went a bit off, as the showing there was late, and we aren’t available the week after, so tomorrow Nat and I are going to see the film in Shrewsbury. Nice. Maybe that will take my mind of things. Actually I have been missing the cinema recently. Missed Ocean’s Thirteen which peaked the interest. Shrek the third still is on the list, despite the crap reviews. So that will be on the list.
Aunty Bett is coming home on Saturday for sure so that will be a fantastic occasion for her. Brilliant! And Well work has been very busy. Boring news there. Sorry campers, this stuff just isn’t that interesting this evening. My mood is not quite as it should be really. Don’t know why.
Well, seeing as you asked sir, here is the full list of components from OCUK:
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 NCQ 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache – OEM
Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU

So tommorow should be a mini geek fest anyway! Yes, Aunty Bett is really looking forward to coming back home, as we all are. Saw her last night as it goes, and all appears to be well. Social Workers said she is well enough to cope on her own. But you should have seen the list of Tablets mate. Need a van from Boots every day! Drugs are good, mmkay!
Ohhhh very very nice. 24″ Dell, nice!
So whats the rest of the spec?
Glad to hear about your Aunt Paul I know how long you have been waiting for her to come home 🙂
