    Sweet new RBP.

    My sister is buying a new car and is thinking of giving me her old one (a Ford Escort 1998). I like the idea of owing a motorised vehicule, I could, like, drive it. Thing is I don't have my driver's permit yet. More reason to look for jobs then.

    Also, going back to Uni in January, should graduate in what, 2015 ? That's kinda long.

    [TL;DR]
    So my sister and her husband recently bought a new house and all of the custom furnishings that were in it. They no longer needed the really nice bedroom set they had been using, and agreed to sell it to me for a very good price. So far, so good.

    So we get the bedroom set moved in and all is well. I think, cool, now let's go buy a new mattress for the Cal King bed. Well, I had misjudged shipping times, and we didn't receive the mattress until yesterday, around 1 week later. My wife has been sleeping on our guest bed, which is a single and too small for both of us. I have been sleeping on the couch in my home office, which isn't quite long enough for my legs. It hasn't been pretty for me.
    [/TL;DR]

    Last night was the first time I got to sleep in a real bed in a while, not to mention on a brand new, comfy mattress, and it was truly luxurious!!! I cursed the moment that I had to remove myself from its inviting warmth this morning!

    Yea, we just don't appreciate the things we take for granted until they're taken away from us for a while. Now you can rest comfortably knowing you've developed a whole new level of appreciation for the common mattress. :p

    Weather is changing

    I could feel the seasonal shift as I stocked the frig with Blue Moon pumpkin spice beer for the fall season. What leaves survived the summer heat and drought are starting to fall, both of them. If you believe in statistics its going to be a bitter cold winter as the average temp varies only 1 degree year to year. It's going to take a lot of really cold days to average all those 110 plus days during July and August. Oh well as the world turns.:confused:

    Damn! I had to wear long sleeves this morning. It was 37°F (3°C) when I left for work.

    I want to be back in Mexico ... perhaps I can gain more than 450 XP the next time....

    They announced a Space Fighter Battlestar Galactica MMORPG, that is awesome -- Space Fighter have been a favorite of mine since Freespace 2, unfortunately the game industry have made so little that are noteworthy.

    This Flix is excited but with reservation, they still could screw it up badly.

    After a ~3 month scorcher it's finally raining! Loving it! (and not just because my electrical bill might go down to a sane level again)

    So Cal needs a good drink!

    I see young Padawan is already exercising his newly-gained double-posting powers outside his training area... :nono: ;)

    It's been cloudy and rainy here all week and prospect looks bleak for the rest of the week as well. And we've started heating the house a couple of days ago...

    I was actually surprised that the posts didn't auto-merge here. I thought I had only been given a bump in the PE forum. I didn't realize it was board-wide. I'll keep that in mind in the future... really, I've just gotten used to relying on the auto-merge function.

    Yeah, exactly. Like it was critical that I let the world know that "rain" had escalated to "heavy rain". I'm glad you understand! :p

    Ahhhhh! Much better. Finally decided to upgrade my RAM to 8GB from 2GB after discovering PCIe riser cables so I could replace the PVR 500 PCI tuner card with a second HVR 2250 PCIe tuner card. Everything's much more responsive and I'm sitting at 30% RAM usage instead of 80-90% or more and the virtual memory always causing swaps to disk.
