I haven’t received my Pirates of the Burning Sea game as it is on backorder. I KNEW I should have purchased it in the store, but I got a better deal online. Now I’ve missed the first day of the pre-boarding party. BOOOH!

I really shouldn’t feel bad as I think my computer is too ancient (only three years old??) to handle the game right now. Yesterday I bought more memory (1Gig) and installed it after much cursing and swearing. Every time I tried to line the chip up into the slot I started to see double and would miss. I’d have to blink a few times, squint, and try again. Now picture me on all fours on the floor, peering into a dark computer case, with my hiney in the air and I suppose the whole thing probably appeared somewhat comical. Anyone pointing this out to me at the time would have received a boot to the shin, so it’s a good deal I was by my bad self at that moment. I finally got it in and now the computer is blazing fast (WOO!), but I’ve yet to get a graphics card for the old beast. I was tempted to get one yesterday, and my father is most likely sighing with relief that I didn’t. I forgot what kind of card I needed (an 8x AGP), but when I called him to make sure, my phone died. Oh well. I need to quit that need for instant gratification and order it from Newegg as my father and personal computer guru suggested in the first place.

If I order it now, the graphics card will probably arrive when the game does.

OH! I’m going to be a little random here, but you know what is the best feeling in the world?

Finding money that you didn’t know you even had.

I just now found a check that I received in the mail back in November; a refund from the place I was renting a storage unit from. Didn’t know they even SENT me a refund check and wrote it off as a loss for canceling my lease at the beginning of the month. Yeah! So now have extra cash to buy that card with. *glee* ^_^
