Well, it's been a productive coupla days...

So the show opened. It was awesome. You all should come tomorrow (Saturday) at 4pm or 8pm.

Also, I've spent approximately $2303 this weekend on a desktop and laptop combination detailed earlier. This is about $3 more than my grief-laden laptop+docking station cost.

Granted, I didn't need to buy a monitor or graphics card for my desktop, but still.

I really don't know why I didn't do this like, 3 years ago.

At least I can pass this kind of advice onto the younger generation: my brother won't make the same mistakes as me (He's already built his own desktop, laptop will come when he picks a college/graduates from HS).

Also, on an unrelated note, one roomie wants to know what kind of "big money baller" blogger I am, basically in regards to the size of my readership. So all three of you comment and show him how many people hang on my every online word.
