This weekend was probably one of my least productive and blah weekends since I moved back to Tampa. I was originally planned for a day off to Orlando, but that didn’t go through. The reason is simple, I slept longer than I should.
I had my haircut Saturday morning, walked around the mall with my sister, and had lunch after coming home. I was tired and took a nap. I discussed with my sister about going to Orlando for the day or not and I just told her to wake me up in 30 minutes. 3 hours later, I woke up to… well, to music. My sister was on her computer and playing her game and to my amazement, I woke up before the 30 minutes I told her to wake me up. After learning it has been 3 hours instead of 30 minutes, I decided that a drive to Orlando at that time was not only a waste of gas, but it was also a waste of my time and money. I would have been in Orlando shorter than the time I would drive to Orlando and back. Needless to say, I ended up staying home and played games instead.
Sunday came around and plans were made. I went over to a friend’s house to help out with her homework and we went to lunch at Moe’s. All these while my sister went with a friend of ours to watch G.I. Joe. My friends that I helped out has an Australian Shepherd Mud, a Shiba Inu, a kitty cat, and a flying squirrel (or of the same species). The first day I was there, the Shiba Inu didn’t like me, but today was different. I enjoyed his company. He laid on my lap as I sat crossed-legged on a seat. He’s a cute dog and I wouldn’t mind having a dog like that ^_^ The Australian Shepherd has always loved attention, so that was no different. I love both the dogs very much.
I also bought Mass Effect, Viva Piñata, and Dead or Alive (DoA) 4. I see nothing wrong in waiting for games to be really cheap and buy used games. I always save at least $20 – $30 every time I do that.
The last thing I did today that took the day out was looking for computer parts. It is not easy building my own computer. I looked online for parts and each parts are only compatible with certain kind of other parts.
It really is difficult now since there are so many different technologies out there. Trying to save money while getting the best price, especially on computer parts is not as easy anymore. There are so many different kinds of graphic cards, central processing units (CPU), motherboards (mobo), tower cases, etc. I project that looking for those items that fit what I want within the budget I’m willing to spend is going to take all week long. Can’t say I’m happy with the time it’ll take, but it will be time worth spending, because it will be my very first desktop that I will invest the time to look for, the money to buy the parts, and the time to build it. It will be my very first desktop that I actually own through looking for the parts, paying for it, and building it. Just an extra note, the desktop’s main purpose is for my games, songs, and videos. Next weekend blurb will be nothing about the computer, I can almost guarantee =D
