Mar. 25th, 2009 10:33 pmBehold! A random update full of ...things. Mostly shiny things!
My tax refund! Which covers the money I lost to car repairs and then some. Now I just need to worry about deposit-money and moving expenses, and assuming I ever work up the nerve, I'll be able to move! <3
...I did spend a little of that on a new external hard drive, though. I keep my writing and photos on that, as well as my music collection - the low grinding noise the old one had been making since its little accident was freaking me out. o.o I mean. My writing. Suppose it had died and there was a surge in the electricity and my computer died too! Unlikely? Yes. But I don't care, I feel better now anyway. ;)
I finally got my refund for the defective dvd/vcr combo of last year. A few weeks ago, actually, and I cashed the check and have been sitting on said cash since. I just couldn't work up any enthusiasm for buying another one. Well, I finally got myself out to the mall area today, stopped in Michael's for much oohing and aahing and a little actual shopping in the crafts section (wheee!) and then to Best Buy?
And started feeling really uphappy. I mean it went from meh to wondering why I'd bothered to come out. So I stopped, and looked at the selection and thought, okay, why am I even doing this? Well, because I feel like I ought to. How much am I going to use this if I buy it? Hardly ever. Waste of money, of which there is not a lot because I am not even touching the refund. ...and what would I rather have?
A DS. And a Wii and an X-Box and every single game I've ever wanted to play, right? ^^; But a DS I can get. And if I wait and check out Game Stop, I might get a used one and thus also have the money for my first game for said DS. And I felt so much better! And tomorrow, presuming that I both get up on time to go out and actually find what I want at Game Stop, I will feel even happier! Yes. That is the plan. Because, you know, I can think of 4 or 5 games off the top of my head that I want for the DS. I drool at them every day when I pass through the electronics section at work! And if I can't find a copy of that FF I cannot remember the number of it but it's the one with Kain and Cecil and Rosa - if I don't find it at Game Stop I have seen it at work. Yes.
And then I'll have to proritize on the other games, though currently that new Zelda one and The World Ends With You are tying. I mean. Zelda! I miss Zelda so much.
...I have this feeling I was going to say something else? But drooling over games has distracted me. XD
ETA: Oh wait, I remember one thing - I passed through the Wii games while I was there, and found this Magnificent Thing which I will someday own? A mystery sort of game played from the point of view of either a tarantula or a scorpion, your choice.
A Tarantula or a Scorpion! How awesome is that? :D I don't even care what the game is about, really, I just want to play as the tarantula. XD
