move to hollywood. sarah and i just witnessed an alley street exchange. plus you can apparently pick up any instrument (or makeshift) and just keep playing till someone pays you to stop....then continue after 10 seconds. you dont even have to know how to play. Oh, and there's always Venice Beach.

Recently I've developed a strong case of mac-lust. I REALLY want a mac laptop, but considering I only got my current laptop at the end of last summer and it was pretty pricey, I'm not seeing a new lappy in my near future. Maybe I'll get a mac mini or something sometime this year.

My dear, I'm just a hop, skip, und ze jump to Baltimore from where I sit. Where all we have are shady deals, sudden betrayals, and the fear of violent end. And thats just grabbing a burrito at the 7-11.
Fun Fact...
Someone playing music on the street, away from the art college, will get there ass beatdown and their "instrument" broken pretty quick. While the cops watch.

Why the two wireless network cards? The motherboard comes with one, so why the D-Link?
Also, prices have either dropped a lot since Jan. or where ever you priced those hard drives is really expensive, but they can be found much cheaper now (just an fyi).

As for my techy wants... I want my damn cables to finally show up so I can rewire my computer, they were ordered almost a month ago and still nothing. Seriously the slowest shipping ever.
Other than that, I want a projector, though I don't want to pay for it. And now I also want Knight42's computer, though I'd never be able to spend that much for a computer. Apart from those, and maybe a new cell phone, I'm pretty much set right now.
...Although if someone were giving me tech stuff for free I wouldn't refuse. ;)

right now, in this very moment, I'm techno lusting over a 360... cause I'm feeling the need to hack some zombies up!

...lets go hunt some orks!
