The guys in my family love their gadgets and toys. I'm no exception. Another thing we do, is try to upgrade our comps in the cheapest way possible - which comes out as poncing off eachothers used crappy parts. Its kinda like building yourself up while knocking the others down.
For me to go up in the world, some other poor bastard in the famil has to suffer the piece of crap I had. In this case its one of my Aunts who so happens to be very against subjects of sex and stuff. Not the type of woman you can share jokes about sex with. My Mum made a comment once that made her leave a party pretty early out of embarressment.
So now I can't help but snigger a bit when I think of her trying to view websites only to get taken to that bastard Russian porn site. Of course some might say "oh thats so cruel !" But then the flip side to it is that both her and the uncle shes married to (not to mention their two sons), hardly ever see any other family members because they have this attitude that they're too good for us or something. So the way I see it - fuck em. In the nicest way possible of course.
So yeah, now I have a new comp and although not wonderful, is a good improvement on the old piece of crap. Of course a brand new comp would be nice with everything new, but getting a place to live with Jul and stuff comes first and buying stuff like a new comp won't do any good towards it. So all I need is a setup that gets me online and this does the job.
Watched that new Battlestar Galactica last night and tonight - pretty good. Alot better than I thought it'd be, so it looks like something me and my Dad will be watching if it goes on into a regular series.
Been thinking a lot about the future and overall I can be happy in either country. Each one definatly has its pros and cons, but when it comes down to it, I just wanna be married to Jul.
