^ Speaking of which, hubby bought me an early birthday present and upgraded my iPhone to a new 32GB 3GS, which arrived yesterday. :)
Got quite a few new CD's, the best of which are...

Finished up my "summer job" last Friday. First had to do the necessary bodywork(mainly sanding the old paintjob off), and removed any stickers on the bike. Then followed with a fresh black paintjob, taped up the flames and painted those with a small airbrush for a nice finish. Corrected any mishaps on the paintjob, laquered and assembled. The owner took it off my hands last Friday and gave me a wad of well-needed cash. Pictures below:

Sweet flamejob, Keno!
Forgot to post this over here, I grabbed this 32" HDTV off of Craigslist for a song. It wasn't working right but a reflow of the joints on the power regulation board and it's been going strong ever since.

Also, I got another 360 Pro with 2 games off of craigslist for 120 and also one missing the dvd drive for 40.
Very good thing: I finally, somehow, someway, beat Jordan on Expert on GHII on the 360. This was the only song in any Guitar Hero game that I hadn't been able to beat. F***. Yes.

I pulled that one too...on my buddy's XBox and not mine.
**** my life.

Also picked up the headphones with mic and remote on them.
If anyone is in the market for an iPod Touch (1st gen) shoot me a message, this one is replacing my old one so I want to unload that. It still works perfectly, I just needed more storage and wanted to be able to make skype calls.
Fine choice there, Moeller.
I'm gonna wait for the 3rd gen iTouch though before I buy a new one.

Obviously worth the wait. Nuff Said. :devsmoke:
Actually, while bulky, CRT monitors are pretty nice, in terms of image quality, that is . . .
Or when they break beyond repair, their components are actually pretty sweet--'cept for the broken stuff of course. I found a power transistor (

Enough said.
I won't be able to use it for a few months, as it's my first part bought and I'm buying slowly as things go on sale, but.... at least I picked it up for $199.99 - a savings of $70 if I would have bought it from Newegg.

You'd better be starting an illegal gambling den with that.

Prototype (got it a few weeks ago)
And a nice 62" tripod.
Just got that as well. Fantastic game so far, actually. Really in depth story and character development, it seems.
Also: What kind of tripod? Pics?

Well, with the way it's now sitting in my garage now it's almost in a gambling den already.
Also, writing a summary of a book as your reading it makes for a lot of typing...
171 pages into a 970 page book = 15 pages / 9000+ words of summary

But in a month or two it could drop $70 couldn't it? rendering your saving useless. I never buy PC parts until I need them, even if they are on sale.

Nah, the price isn't supposed to drop, because the i5 is supposed to become the mainstream processor.
And even if it does drop $70 (extremely unlikely) - then it would be the same as buying it now.
Thus, I lose nothing by buying now.

I feel as if I'm in a similar boat as you.
I have to read and journal "The Fountainhead" for my English Class. I'm on the third chapter of part 1, and I have two entire pieces of paper filled with notes... after about 15 pages... ~headsmack~

Ouch, that's some heavy writing there.
Heh... but this isn't for a class... I'm just doing it for ****s and giggles. But then again, the Wikipedia page for the book has no summary at all, so I may put a shortened version on there and link to the full annotation separately. I'm basically creating a "I don't wanna read all 970 pages, how about 60 pages instead?" version of the book.
Why am I doing this?...

"Chapter 509...uh...Roark builds a mighty city...Rapture...and discovers that the person who built Rapture was actually his father...wait...I mean...WOULD YOU KINDLY!? AHAHAHAH! NOW I HAVE EVERYTHING AND YOU HAVE NOTHING!"
I'm just saying, that's the most likely end scenario given it's Ave we're talking about it. A lust for power and a tenuous grasp of reality is her forte.
I feel for you, Ave.
I'm still stuck at 3/4 of the way through Atlas Shrugged and I just can't finish it. Ayn Rand had good stories to tell, but couldn't write them for ****. :p

I've had to read a lot worse of stories for other years. This book is a masterpiece compared to my expierence with Great Expectations. But I'm more nervous about the journaling/email correspondence I have to do. I hate killings trees, and I think I'm going to have a lot to kill with this.
Also, back on the subject of good things, I bought 2 pairs of striped legwarmers, and went out on a date yesterday.
If the book is that much of a pain in the ass, just drop out and become a raging alcoholic.
Its the smoother path by far...:-/

Just ordered this bad-boy for my jacket. Expensive, but it's the coolest backpatch-design I've ever come across. And of course the band is bloody brilliant.
"The V-Shape below the blood forms the shape of a chalice, and also that of a vagina."
My god I lold.
"Dude. You got a vagina on your back. Wtf?"
Back patch, not backpack. The band is heavily into 60s psychedelic rock mixed with occult themes, so the patch looks perfect. :)
I don't doubt that the design doesn't fit (it is pretty bitchin) but the description is just hilarious.
Hold on, I'm confused. Is it a chalice shaped vagina or a vagina shaped chalice. I need to know.
Took a while to arrive from eBay, but got it now.

Oops, I saw that in the post, but wasn't thing during my reply. Fixed.
Like Bongo said, I'm sure it fits and looks great, but it's still funny :D
Yeah, I'll give you that the vagina-symbolism is pretty far out, dudes. :D
Hold on, I'm confused. Is it a chalice shaped vagina or a vagina shaped chalice. I need to know.
The important thing is that now I can't drink out of a chalice or have sex with a vagina.
^^^Aww what, dude?
Anyway, Just tossed out a bunch of juk--all that free space!

Compared to my classmates 3's and 2's, I'd say that was a well spend $82.
(And from who's scores I know now, I got the best in the class, but that's only out of about 10 kids in a class of maybe 25ish. =D )

I thought that was the easiest AP test out there.... 5 for me.
Had a Best Buy gift card to get rid of. Been meaning to get it for awhile and the Collector's Edition was the same price as the standard version. Currently my sixteen year old sister is enjoying it (She's beat San Andreas, Saints Row 1, GTA IV, and GTA IV: Lost and Damned) before I've touched it.

I'll admit a 5 would be optimal, but I'm perfectly fine with beating my annoying perfectionist friend who always has to do better than me. =D
