Like Christmas in October
So at long last, after numerous delays, the dealership finally called me to tell me that my new car was in. I’m going to pick up tonight after work, and of course I’m pretty excited. It will be nice to be able to travel places without worrying about breaking down or becoming physically ill from the fumes seeping into the cabin. In fact, this is only one of (albeit the most expensive of) the packages that will be arriving at the cottage this week. Additionally, I am finally getting a DVD burner; I had $75 off in Amazon certificates (I earn them on my credit card) and decided to buy myself a birthday gift. All the loads of anime that I have on my hard drive is killing my space (now I know how Ender feels), and I was tired of using 9-10 CDs just to copy off one regular season. I think now a season should fit on 2 DVDs, which will make finding and actually rewatching series much easier. Plus, I’ll be able to watch DVDs on my computer. Another computer purchase that’ll be coming, is Bunky’s new laptop. Her old one has a loud screeching problem and so can’t really be used in class; hence she was forced to get a new Dell laptop. Fortunately, Kungfucius came through and eased the pain by finding a coupon that saved like $700 off the listed price of the laptop and brought the cost under $1,000. Woot!
Since my birthday falls on a Saturday this year, I get to take Friday off this week and I’m really looking forward to it! I think Bunky has decided that we are going to Howl-O-Scream or whatever, which should be interesting as well.
I’m hoping to scam someone into getting me a new watch, since my current one is close to being busted, and I am low on funds T_T.
