That does seem to be what you chose to believe.

From my vantage point, things are very clear though.....

I always knew you liked to be on top, bitch.

When you whip it, it's good to read you whip it good.

Who told you?

Cool!  I have a tin whistle, too, which I bought at an Irish festival, but I admit I'm not very good at it.

[Stefancos]

Very cool

Over the past week I bought myself a Yamaha 7.1 receiver and an Onkyo 7.1 speaker set. My own home theater is almost complete. Can't wait to finally start watching movies again.

Oh, wow! Can I come round and give it a listen?

What films are you looking forward to watching, and why?

[Koray Savas]

It still isn't set up, both of those are still sitting in their boxes. I'm in the process of clearing out my brother's old room so I can set it up there. I have been thinking which movie I would watch first, but to give you an idea, I haven't watched any of my Blus for at least 6 months. I also buy a lot of them, so you can imagine the build up I have. The other day I was excited to finally watch Tintin and Hugo and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but then I thought about Malick's Badlands and all the other brilliant films from The Criterion Collection I haven't watched yet. I'm gonna be holed up in that room for awhile once it's ready.

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" is such an atmospheric film, and Ren Klyce's sound design is a wonder to behold!

 

As for "Badlands"; all I can say is "f**k, yeah!!!".

Parts to build me a new computer.  The other day something happened that caused the circuit breaker to trip in my room and the spare bedroom.  That resulted in something to fry my computer.  Although it would turn on but nothing registered so makes me think it was CPU related. 

 

I've been wanting to build me a new computer anyways for a while now.  I built the current one back in 2005 and it had started to show its age.  I'm not building anything high end since I'm not a gamer.  I just need something to watch movies, edit music and play on photoshop.

 

I'm not going to build it until after my dad and I move back up to Salt Lake City on May 4th.  Well it'll be a few days after that since I want to get settled in and everything set back up. 

 

Back in 2005, I spent over $800 (minus shipping) for my first computer.  Then again I had to buy everything....tower, mouse, kebyoard, monitor, etc.  This time I'm only spending just over $600 for everything, that includes Windows 7 and a 2tb internal drive.  This time around I don't have to get a mouse and monitor but I'm going to be getting a better keyboard.

Have fun, man. Building computers is fun.

I just spent about $30 on two tickets to see The Best of Both Worlds on the big screen. Should be awesome.

Thanks.  I actually got it built but I didn't realize I needed a power cable adapter for one of the cables from the power supply.  The one coming out of the power supply is a 6 pin and the one from the motherboard is  8pin.  There's one on Newegg I'll buy after I move and will get it up and going at that point.

 

I was getting frusterated yesterday because power was getting to all the fans, and lights on the motherboard but the CPU wouldn't fire up like it normally should.  So I ended up tearing things apart again and doing a step by step check list.  I then realized it was one of the power ports I needed to have run the proper deal to...the one where I got to have the adapter cord.

 

I was hoping to have it up and going today but nope....ah well.
