Collected Thoughts

I got MI-5 from Netflix. The first disc anyway. I haven't watched my tapes an awhile but I can tell the difference between what A&E showed and the actual shows. I ended up watching the deep fryer scene three times, I listed to the commentary during that section and it was interesting. I'm wondering if that section was cut a bit or if I'm not remembering all of it.

And then Tom huddled in the corner of the safe house waiting for Zoe...it's just wonderful. In a painful way.

I also watched disc 3 of Dead Like Me. It's not the best thing to watch when I don't want to go back to work. I hate knowing that there's only a few more episodes of season 1 and then season 2. Of course I may end up doing what I did with Sports Night and just not watch the final episodes.

And xmas was good to me. I have enough to ge ta computer RIGHT NOW!! I went to Best Buy with my brother yesterday to look at them. I found one that, with the rebates, is extremely affordable. Plus I can take the rebate money and get a larger hard drive to add and a flat panel monitor. Sam's had both for reasonable prices. I'm torn between doing that and looking around at Dell or ebay and try to get a better deal.

So I'm torn. Wonderful computer that works now!!! Or see if I can get a better deal in a bit. Part of me doesn't want to get stuck with a low end model like I did last time. But I also know more about computers and I think it's easier to upgrade things now than 5 yrs ago. Or whenever it was that I got the computer.

I'm very impatient. Example-- I have a new computer.

Now, it's not the computer I was going to get. It's bigger (160G harddrive instead of 80) faster (um, I don't remember the specs off the top of my head) and a HP instead of Emachine. And I just got the tower. I was told yesterday that with Emachine it was either the whole package or nothing at all.

And all I wanted was the tower anyway. Now, I would have spent less if I had got the whole package + the rebates. But then I'd have a monitor, keyboard, printer, mouse, and speakers I didn't want.

I'm off to Sam's to go get the same speakers that my cousin bought yesterday.
