Sometimes early in the morning, I watch her breathing rise and fall...

I acquired a new computer this evening.

Vista is a bit of the Devil's creation. It really, truly is. I do not need my operating system dumbed down for me. I do not need everything moved around and changed. Why fix what's not broken? I'll be going back to XP as soon as I re-aquire the disc from Friend Rob. Because, really, this should be running faster. While, yes, it runs faster than my old computer, it does not run as fast as I believe it should. Plus, I know EVERYTHING works with XP and I know how to run it properly.

So I'll suffer through Vista, as pretty as it is, until I can go back to XP.

However, the new computer is named Archimedes and will be decorated with OWL STICKERS when I find some cute ones. I also need to reorganized my entire desk and shit so that I can put Archie somewhere that isn't on the floor where he is now. And put Candyland (my old comp) somewhere where I can still access it if I need to.

Got a bunch of stuff to pick up today. Textbooks, house stuff, critter things.

I think we're going to trek up to Cleveland area to hit up the asian markets for some food and tastybits. Thinking about buying a new rice cooker, since I pretty much destroyed the metal bowl for the last one.

I wanted to pick up some clothes when we had gone to Walmart, but I couldn't find anything I wanted to buy. I need more jeans, as most of mine are on their last leg. I wear them until they wear thin in the inner thigh region and then they end up tearing. But that's what I get for not rotating them out often enough. I just get comfortable in a pair and I'll wear them until they're destroyed. I'd also like to find a decent bag for school, especially if I need to walk or bike (gotta get tires for the bikes, as well!). I have a messenger bag, but it's been through a lot, so I should probably get something new and not as broken in.

And, despite TJ trying to mock me into them, I'm NOT buying skinny jeans. I HATE them.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE

After spending most of the afternoon at the mall, I couldn't find SHIT in the way of jeans or clothes. Despite having some money, I'm still cheap because if I can find cheap clothes I can buy MORE of them. But nothing jumped out at me and they only things I ended up buying were a new Halloween owl shirt from Target, a cupcake Hello kitty bag on clearance at Toys R Us, a big whiteboard and a few clearance things from Michael's. But I guess it's not too bad. I also got owl stickers for my computer because I'm a NEEEEEEEEEEEERD.

I saw there's new Minimates!! With Cap, Iron Man and Venom. I'll have to scour eBay for the singles. Because we obviously need more Minimates in our collection.

We stopped at the Mediterranean store today and got all sorts of goodies. The owner had just mixed up some spicy red pepper hummus she had us try. It's super, super tasty and a really good sort of spciy, so we bought a small container of it. Plus tabouli, spicy feta, grape leaves and tahini. <3<3<3

I should really be napping. I only got two hours of sleep in the last 24-ish hours and I really am dragging. But I'm trying to finish installing some things and transferring some stuff, so I don't want to lay down just yet.

Tomorrow we're trekking up Angie's way to get an aquarium and stopping a few other places. Also, textbooks.

There's a way to speed up the computer, theres a process that slows it down some.
