1. THE LAPPY HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN ORDERED. *\o\* *\o/* */o/* It's not the best laptop in the world, but unless it doesn't work at all, (*sob*) it's GOT to be better than what I have, you know? Maybe next time I'll save up more and splurge on a better system. But for now? This is GOLDEN, and $450 is more than enough to be spending. It's not the original one I had been looking at because wal-mart took that one off their site *grumblegrumble*, but this one I found on newegg is more or less the same thing AND it's 50 bucks cheaper. SCORE. That leaves me with more money to buy accessories- like a freaking USB mouse, since it doesn't have a PS/2 port.
2. Speaking of which- I'll need a name for the new computer. Suggestions, flist? :3 Something reliable oh god please. XD Also, keep in mind I have or have had in the past: Ed, Alphonse, Isumi, Kuwabara (baaaaad idea, that one XDDDD), Ochibi (surprisingly good tempered, actually), Oishi, Vivi, and possibly another that I'm just not thinking of at the moment. For various devices, obviously, not just computers. :D
3. I have managed to lose my DS. I wasn't worried at first, but now I'm seriously not finding it and I'm starting to freak out. D: It's got to be around here somewhere, though, seriously. WHERE ELSE DO I GO? XD
I'm beginning to think it's run off to the same place that my mp3 player disappeared to. Must be some kind of heaven for electronic devices. D: Come baaaaaaaaack!
4. Don't remember offhand if I mentioned, but we did actually get that Wii. It's neat. I haven't really done much with it yet, though, aside from downloading and playing a couple of old school games. Adventures of Lolo, FTW? ^_^;;;
5. Finally got around to finishing The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I say finally because I've been reading it off and on for several months now. Actually, recently Kelly saw me with it and made a comment which prompted the following conversation:
Kelly: You're STILL reading that?
Me: Meh, it hasn't really caught my attention yet.
Kelly: ...er... you're more than halfway through it.
Me: ................
Aaaaand that about sums up my stance on the book. It just never really captured me. There were a few things that had me giggling, none of which I can remember offhand, but overall... meh. I've never been big on sci-fi, and clearly this book is not an exception. Give me dragons over robots any day of the week, seriously.
Am now reading Czars by James P. Duffy and Vincent L. Ricci. Muuuch more interesting. I'm such a history geek. XD
On that note, I should probably go to bed. ^_^;;; Night all!

2. Ochibi was good-tempered, of course--the kid's nice. Hmm. How do you feel about Kintarou? ^_~ Kin-chan for short?
3. Time to do spring cleaning? ^_^;;;;;
4. You didn't mention it, but yay!
5. XD *patpat* It's okay. Only the part with the machine's answer to "Life, The Universe, and Everything" is worth the whole book, really. That, and the advice to never go anywhere without a towel. Beautiful advice. Always stood me in good stead. ^_~

2. Ryoma? Nice? Not exactly the first word that comes to mind, Ai, unless you're counting at the end of the finals when he got a freaking brain transplant or something. XD The only reason I named him that was because the external drive was fairly small, and it amused me at the time to call him Ochibi. Still going strong, which doesn't surprise me, but it never gives me any trouble either, and that's with it being on most of the time. Ochibi's a trooper. <3
(Ed, on the other hand... must be in that electronics heaven, because he disappeared quite some time ago. It's a 1GB flash drive and it was a random purchase, so it doesn't bother me so much that it's disappeared, but still. Somewhat amusing considering that I chose Ed because it was so little, and it didn't take very long after that to disappear. XD)
Hmm. Kintarou. (Sadly, I had to look up a picture of him to remind me who he was. I'm so bad with names. XD) Energetic, powerful, good match for Ochibi. But kind of dumb, ahaha. XD I'll definitely think about it. :D *puts it on the list*
3. Mrrr. Working on it. <_< 5. Yeah, the Answer was one of the places I was giggling. Quite amusing. Still, the book as a whole was rather disappointing. *shrug*
