Digital Tragedy

My computer done broke.  While installing a memory upgrade, the thing stopped responding, so I took it apart some more and put it back together.  After using Misty’s computer to Google, I deduced the problem was either the motherboard or the power supply.  From that point, I let Best Buy’s Geek Squad take over.  They confirmed it was the power supply.  I’ve since bought a new one, and I’ll install it tonight.  

Since losing my computer, I’ve been catching up on Playstation games.  I think I’m pretty close to the end of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.  I’m at a particularly aggravating part, and that makes it hard to gather up the gumption to dive back in.  I need to finish it, though, (along with a few other games) if I want to justify to Misty getting more games later.

I got an email from my uncle that says he wants me to visit him and the family this Christmas.  It’s an 8-hour drive, but he’s offered room and board, so I don’t think I can refuse.  Misty, on the other hand, wants to fly to Wisconsin to visit her mother for Christmas.  My first task upon resurrecting my computer is to review and solidify our finances, so I’ll have to see if we can afford that flight.

Oh, and did I mention we were moving to a new, big apartment?

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
