Dinner... and a show!

Another day of work in the can.  Got paid, so there's some more money in the bank.  Today seemed like one of the longest days that I have had to work.  I don't really have a reason why, it wasn't particularly busy early on in the day, and later, although it was bustling, time seemed to drag out.

After hanging out with Adam last week, Andrew has been pestering me to buy an Xbox 360, even though I think I might rather get a new computer.  Its not really so much that there's anything wrong with my laptop, just that it craps out when I run all of the stuff that I like to run simulateously.  I like to browse the internet while listening to music and instant messaging, sometimes while watching movies on Google Videos or YouTube.  My computer doesn't like all of this, and most of the time slows down to a crawl.  Even just my internet browser by itself slows down terribly when I start opening new tabs to browse multiple sites.

I had been looking at and seriously considering the new MacBook.  It's so pretty, and is the kind of geek-ware that I am looking for.  At the same time, I don't know if I should just suck it up and stick with this computer for a while longer.  If I did, I could enjoy the gaming goodness that is Xbox 360.  I also have considered just adding a bit of RAM to my computer, which should make it a little bit more snappy with the applications and reduce the slowness.

I think the best thing to do for now is just wait and save.

I played Oblivion for a bit longer tonight.  It is such a fun game, and unlike any other I have ever played.  I like it much more than traditional RPGs, such as Final Fantasy or the like.  The open ended-ness of the game, full customization, and kickass graphics just make the game feel appealing to almost anyone.  I started my first game as an Acrobat, being agile and using my bow a lot, but then I decided to start a second game just to try something different, and chose a better fighter.  I found that this second character I created was way more fun and easy to use, so I guess another part of the game is finding out what works for you.

Well, Mass is in a couple hours, so I better get to sleep.  More on these subjects later!
