Upgrade

I thought it would be such a great idea this year, to take advantage of the Black Friday sales and buy some computer crap. Tadd and I went to the Microcenter in Boston around 10 A.M.. Finding a parking spot almost took longer than the amount of time we actually spent in the store. I bought a new motherboard and processor. I was pretty excited to install it when we got home. So Saturday morning, I took the old parts out, and put everything back together. To my dismay, Windows wouldn’t boot. I won’t bother going into grueling detail about what happened for the next 20 hours straight. But I eventually discovered that one of the IDE pins had broken off of one of the hard drives. I made this discovery around 5:45 Sunday morning. So I broke out the soldering iron, and voilla! By this time, the office was in a state of complete chaos. The kicker is that when I had one of the hard drives out of the case, I set it on top of my blackberry, which has a pretty powerful magnet in the holster. I’m so retarded. There went most of my Itunes library…, again. I left is sitting on there for a couple of hours, long enough that I had to re-partition and format it, so that it would even work. It is finally working right, and my marriage is still intact, barely.

Reagan was not happy about me spending so long shut away in the office working on that thing. I did take a break on Saturday night, however, for a little pie eating, guitar hero and catchphrase, with some homies that Reagan had invited over. It was a pretty good time. I’m just glad to have that project over with and to have the office back in order.
