Hey, y'all.

I was reading college brochures, and most say you need a laptop. I figured it'd be good to get one anyways, but here's what I'm looking for:

I'd like something between 600 and 800 dollars. The brand isn't important to me, so much as it's reputable, and I won't get screwed. I'd like something with enough power to run games like CS:S, and HL2. It doesn't need to run them full settings without lag, I'd say just medium settings.

Also, something with wireless internet.

I'm not looking for specific computers, since I don't have the money for it right now, but I will in a few months, and I was looking for some guidance.

As far as brand, any ideas? I'm looking on newegg, and there are lots of "Acer" notebooks, but I've never heard of Acer before. Are they alright?

Also, is 512 MB ram going to be enough?

Is it even possible to build a laptop from scratch, like you would a desktop system?

Haha, I didn't count, but I think in the 13 or so episodes of that show, he must've said "well excuuuuuse me, princess" at least 3 times an episode. Sometimes, you can tell it happened in the same episode.


And yeah, I figured the flash thing was disabled. Just figured I'd check.

Fuck yeah, I almost got shot.

Okay, so I work at a small sandwich shop. On friday nights, we have a fish fry, and it's our busiest night. This particular friday, there were only 2 customers in the restaurant (regulars), and we were closing at 9. It was about 8.45, and the only people in the restaurant were me, another dishwasher (my friend turner), a waitress (a sophmore girl at our school) and a cook (a senior at another high school). There was also todd, which is another story altogether. He works there full time.

So at 8.45, a guy walks in with a big puffy coat on, his hood up, and a scarf wrapped around his face. It didn't seem too weird because it's Wisconsin, and it was about 0 degrees fahrenheit. He did push the waitress, which was weird, and that's when we realized that this wasn't normal...

He walked up to the register, pulled out a glock, and told us all to get on the ground. The two customers got on the ground, while me and the other employees just stood there in shock. He yelled and told us to open up the register, and pointed the gun at todd. Todd opened the register, and the robber grabbed all the money in the register, which ended up being close to 1000 dollars. He then pointed the gun at the cook, told him to back up, and ran out.

A few seconds later, todd calls the cops, and they show up in less than a minute. Strangely enough, another waitress (also a sophmore) was in the basement of the restaurant the whole time this was happening. She was on the phone with her friends, and she was just walking up the stairs as the man with the gun was running out. She hung up and asked us who that guy was, and I turned to her and said "That guy had a gun, he just took all the money in the register."

So that's what I did Friday night.

And nice new skin on the site.

So I was at work today, at my local sandwich shop, and we get a few orders in. One club sandwich with french fries on the side. I get to work making the club sandwich, and stack the bread, turkey, and lettuce high. 3 layers of sandwich perfection. I put the frilly toothpicks in the sandwich, strategically arranged so that I could cut the sandwich in 4 triangular pieces. I raised the knife into the air, anticipating the slice, and thrust the knife down. I felt a strange pressure on my thumb, and realized that I cut myself. Half my fingernail was gone, and I cut pretty far into my thumb.

Luckily it wasn't busy. It bled for a good hour, and I got to go home early.

That was my day.

Man, I'm still trying to beat Earthbound! (At least I think it's earthbound, that whole Mother thing is confusing. It's the one for the super nintendo. Damn you, carbon dog!)

This is the only RPG I like.

Haha, filtering P3GW0? Weird. I had to test.

As for the icon, it looks fine. Honestly, there's nothing you could really do to it, however, the highlight under the eye bugs me for some reason. I dunno...
