Blar

Earlier tonight, I was on the 88 bus, on my way home. I signaled my stop, and the driver totally ignored it--he dumped me out 5 blocks too far, in the pouring rain, at 11 at night. I got soaked, and couldn't contain my indignance. The man LOOKED AT ME. He did it on purpose. I have rarely been so angry. Arrrh.

I can't stop listening to this song:

It fills me with a weird sort of calm.

I hate fucking congressional delays affecting solar plant development in Arizona. I hate people who don't see global warming and alternative energy agendas as major campaign issues. I HATE dickweed bus drivers who ruin people's entire night.

On the bright side, I think I've found a replacement computer. It's the MSI Wind, really fucking lightweight, speedy little computer. Unfortunately the supply ran down and it won't be restocked until August. Hopefully there will be enough time for me to obtain one before I have to leave.

Less than a month til Tucson. I seriously can't believe it.

This? Hm Never heard of them before. Looks good, but it's not fast (unless you're looking at a different model, that's the only one they had on newegg). 1.6ghz is pretty low end these days. Dual core processors is where its at. =)

Yeah :) Though to be honest my only priorities in getting a computer at this time are price and lightweightness. So I'm willing to overlook vast inadequacies in specs for the fact that it's so amazingly light. It also doesn't take anything that impressive to completely outshine the computer I'm currently using, so I'm pretty satisfied with it as a find. :X

But yes, the link does correspond to the correct model.

Hahah well if it's better than what you're using now, or used before, then hey! That's great. Also, good price. If you can live with it, well then, good hehe. I'm a very impatient person, so I can't handle working on computers that are less than a 2.2ghz dual core processor, and 2 gb of ram (what my desktop has).

So it has XP? Awesome. Can't get new computers with XP anymore. =(
