New Computer!
Isn't it preeetty?
After dropping $1300 on this sucker it better be pretty. And the lights on the keyboard are programmable. I've got them set from blue to pink right now because my sister wanted to see. I paid a bit extra for the user damage protection, but with the way I treat electronics it's worth the extra cost. The sound and graphics on this puppy are amazing. I've only played The Sims 3 on it so far, but my brother's giving me his WoW account, so I'm hoping to test that out on it really soon.
My old laptop is going to my nan tomorrow. I've already wiped all of my crap off the harddrive and reset it to factory settings. Thank Christ I have an external harddrive to save all my junk to. Over 50 GBs of just audiobooks and 20 GBs of just podfic. I don't even want to think about how large my videos folder is. There's nothing wrong with my old laptop, not really. It's only a little more than a year old, but the processing speed is shit. I don't even like to play The Sims on it because it takes so long to load. Okay, I did drop it last fall, and it hit the floor right where the power cord plugs into the computer, so the plug's a bit fiddly.
In other news, living with Jen has been loads of fun so far. I'm getting out more and exercising more often and it's just generally nice not to be alone all the time. I'm sure in a couple months I'll missing all the solitude. I'm really glad she was here a couple weeks ago when we had the plumbing issues. I dunno that I'd have been able to deal with it on my own. there was a cold water pipe under the kitchen that started leaking, so the cold water access had to be cut off to that part of the house. But at least we still have both hot and cold water going to the bathroom, which we didn't right after we both discovered the issue. Jen's dad came over the day after to block off the pipes to the kitchen so we could still shower.
Me and Toni went and saw the new Star Trek film on Monday. I thought it was pretty decent. Not nearly as good as the first on, but still worth going to see. There wasn't enough Bones for my tastes, but Benedict Cumberbatch made up for the lack. He pretty much made the movie for me. And if I'd seen this one before I'd seen the first one I'd have probably dove head first into Kirk/Spock rather than Kirk/McCoy. There was a lot of gay in Into Darkness.
Right now I'm reading some Kirk/McCoy fic. It would be so much easier if I just had my old bookmarks, but I saved them to my external drive which is in Trenton and I'm at my parents for the weekend. :(
