| | Slow day. Not many footprints on my Xanga. Feels like it's only 10 in the morning or so, but it's actually 1:30 PM. That means I have to go to sleep soon, since I have to work tonight.
So, I'm typing this up on my new computer. Yeah, I got so sick of that piece of crap I bought last year after my old reliable computer died that I decided that I'd buy something new and fresh instead of upgrading that junker. Seriously, 512MB of RAM can't run three steps, let along trying to run Vista. And since I've become computer challenged since high school, I didn't feel like buggering around with it and downgrading it to XP or anything like that. Anyway, yeah, new computer. It's a Dell Inspiron 530, if anyone is interested. Mainly, I bought it for its 4GB of RAM. Yeah, talk about an upgrade. I need to put all of my music and stuff on it, but it works great. So clean and fresh and fast! I should name it. I was thinking "Yuki" since it's silver and white with blue LEDs. Plus, if I kill it and it freezes, the name will make sense. Yuki means snow, for any normal people reading this.
Speaking of music (and we were), I bought a Paramore CD yesterday while I was at the mall. I didn't realize it at the time, but it's a live CD. I don't really like listening to bands live unless I'm there, but it's Paramore...so I'm torn. They sound great live, but I want the studio tracks. I don't regret buying it. To balance out the thought of single man buying Paramore (I consider them girls music, I dunno), I bought a Nightwish album. I have never really listened to Nightwish before but now I totally regret it. How did I miss something so epic and awesome? Seriously. The first song is a 13 minute track called "The Poet and the Pendulum" and it is friggin' amazing. An entire orchestra backing a metal band. Not to mention the lyrics. It's like Apocolyptica with awesome vocals. It's worth buying the album for that song.
Speaking of buying albums, I didn't buy Silversun Pickups' new album, Swoon. Why? Well, I had every intention to. But when I got home from work, I looked it up on a website I frequent and downloaded it. Yeah, seriously, lock me up. SSPU won't get my $14, boo hoo. I support them in spirit. It's a good album as well. Panic Switch and Sort Of are my favorites on there.
I traded in X-Blades and Eternal Sonata yesterday while I was in town. I was shocked to get $30 for X-Blades (that game sucked) and $25 for Eternal Sonata (that game started to suck). So I used the credit to get Mirror's Edge and Lost Planet and I still have some credit left over. Mirror's Edge is incredibly frustrating but I'm still having fun with it. At one point, I called Faith a "Slanty-eyed bitch" when she failed to make a jump. I know, I'm horrible. Lost Planet has such a weird aiming system for a third-person shooter, but it's still kinda cool, despite the ridiculous "collect thermal energy or die" dynamic is has. I hate the very idea that I'm losing energy just by standing out in the snow. Not that I never have tons of energy, it's just a mental thing on my part. It's the same reason I always hasten to cure poison in an RPG, even when there's no threat. I just hate losing something if I can prevent it. And I can't.
I have my guitar beside me. I am going to kick myself in the ass and learn to play the thing, even if it's just practice chords. I really hate being bored and knowing I could be learning a skill or bettering myself in some way, so I'm going to try -- try -- and be resolute and learn something. First I need to tune the damn thing, though. It's awful.
Um...I'm tired of typing. Off to do more nothing!
