First, they cancel Men of a Certain Age. Then, I sit down this morning to watch the series finale of Friday Night Lights, and a goddamn baseball game was on for, like, the first 10 minutes or so. Not just a baseball game, but the friggin’ Yankees. Consequently, I didn’t get to see the end of the series finale. It better goddamn well be on the Internet or on-demand. At least nothing screwed up my recording of Real Time, and it was nice to see Maron get a break and be on the show (though I’d like to see him on “the panel” one of these days).<\/p>\n
Anyhow, after suffering through a miserable five day week, I now have a four-day weekend. As usual, I already don’t wanna go back to work, but I reckon I better, ‘cuz I finally broke down and ordered some parts to build myself a new computer. I’d rather have thrown my money away on a tablet, of course. That way, I could add it to the pile on the table next to “my” chair (it would piled atop the MacBook, which is piled atop the Inspiron, ever-ready to be pressed into service when the MacBook decides to flip out). But I really need something I can work on.<\/p>\n
Since I already have a perfectly good (and rather monstrous) full-sized case packed with hard drives and DVD drives and whatnot, I opted to order a new motherboard, Athlon Phenom Quad-Core CPU (almost went with the 6-core, but the difference in price was about $70-$80, and I of course already regret cheaping out), and 8 gigs of RAM. I also “need” dual displays, and, rather than have something mismatched, I decided to get a second 23″ widescreen to match the one I already have, and all that still came in at about $450, which is pretty much cheaper than a tablet that I don’t really need. <\/p>\n
So that’ll give me something to do on Monday if I get bored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
