Spent the day playing Cataclysm, ’nuff said. My video cards arrived in the mail. Still haven’t gotten my motherboard in stock, so it hasn’t been shipped. One component shy. The rest of the rig sits here in boxes, sad.

Monday, monitor… Mon, get it? Okay, stupid, but here’s the back of my monitor. As far as today was concerned, just a standard day of waiting for my computer components, and working a late night. Oh, and my motherboard is apparently on backorder. #$@$. I was hoping to be off work in time to play [...]

Stayed up all night watching The World is Not Enough. I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately, and have spent the extra time awake watching Brosnan-era Bond movies.

We started putting up the Christmas tree today, but stopped part way through decorating, as my Mom’s vertigo started acting up, and I was just exhausted for no reason at all. She says we’ll finish decorating it before Christmas, but I doubt it.

More parts of my upcoming rig arrived today! Just waiting for the motherboard (being transfered from one warehouse to another) and video cards (not sure about them, to be honest) to be shipped. Pictured you’ll see an Intel Core i7-950, a Corsair AX1200 PSU, Corsair H70 CPU Cooler, OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD, Western Digital [...]

Yeah, so.. an enormous at work today. Thought I’d take a picture of the leaning tower of new stock that needed to be photographed and have barcodes scanned. Doesn’t seem like as much work as it is, but trust me, it took quite a while.

Tijs resubscribed to WoW along with Ben, and my Mom’s initial subscription. Jeff is soon too, as well as Hillary. The impending Cataclysm sure is drawing an audience. ;) Oh, and that enormous monitor? No worries mate. Just the first parts of my next rig arriving in the mail. :D

Just a li’l preview of what’s going on. If you know what they are, you know they’re not just really ugly sunglasses. ;)

We are always out of bloody pens at work, I don’t even know where they go. We leave one or two out to use ourselves, and for customers to sign credit card receipts and cheques… maybe they all get stolen? Either way, we seriously had 0 pens left and had to buy these ones from [...]

I got my Mom to give WoW a chance today, and we played for 9 hours, getting her to level 20, which is the limit of the trial account. She also upgraded to Cataclysm and bought 3 months of game time… Awesome.

I tried making Skittles-infused Vodka today. This is the before picture. I’ll post an after once I buy a proper strainer to get the gum guar out of the vodka. (I tried using coffee filters… no dice.)

Ben and Ty came over today to play a spot o’ Magic, but we ended up spending most of our out-hanging time just chatting, drinking tea, eating ice cream cake… etc. We talked about any and every topic for a good 6+ hours into the wee morning hours.
