upgrade? computer

the new mac book (starting at 1149?) and mac book pro (starting at 2099) came out today, and i dont know why, i always wanted a mac, and it’s probably mainly for the look, and i just had a crazy idea, which jason probably would beat me for it

i’ve been wanting to upgrade my comp forever, and i usually build a medium gaming machine, which can cost from $400 – $7934 dollars – i’d need a new cpu (intel e6750 $200?) / vid card (8800GT $250?) / ram (4 gig $100 – 200?), which requires new mobo ($150 – 250?), and probably new psu ($75 – 150?), so… pretty much new everything (approx total ~$950 + tax)

or i buy a 13″ mac book white (cause it’s all about tiny laptops) 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 gig memory, 160 gig HD, double layer super drive, $1249 (student discount) + free nano

it doesn’t matter, i dont ever play games on pc anymore, i have ps3 + wii, and 24″ lcd, im a genius

of course, when starcraft 2 or spore, and maybe diablo 13 comes out then there might be an issue

when you go on a trip with bunch of ppl, you take total cost, divided by number of people, equals average cost per person

done

you’re done ONLY IF everyone spent the same amount of money, it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out, GG

i dont even know what to say, it’s probably the best boarding trip of the year with the worst experience, the time spent on waiting is probably the same, if not more, than the boarding itself

fri night, easy day at work, left after work around 6, and just before going to squamish, “serious accident on sea to sky highway, the road will be closed to 10pm or further notice”, so of course, we made the dinner stop at squamish to wait, along with 239843 other people going to whistler, every single restaurant is packed like night market, and we decided to go to the place with best service, Boston Pizza, i don’t even have to say anything else, other than about 1 hr 45 min wait for the table that’s been empty for 30 min, and waited more for food served from teeny girls that’s 15 or under. we left around 10 something after we heard there’s 1 lane opened alternating traffic, and we arrived at our lodge at 1:30 am or something, i was too slow and didn’t claim a bed, and i had to sleep on the sofa bed =( and at ~4am “some guy” comes in and asks me, “andos, can i eat the pizza in the fridge?”

(i started to write yesterday, but im lazy now and i dont want to go in detail) sat was the best snowboarding day ever, just look at the pics on flickr

sat night was another record waiting for food, rics grill 2.5 hrs wait, we didnt’ eat til 10 ;/ we were so tired after we just slept, yay steak at 1030pm, and again at 3am, “this guy” comes in and got super noisy and woke everyone up

and sun on the way home, i got a #$@* ticket on broadway, the cop pulled me over on granville and said, “hey, i pulled you over because you ran a red light back there”, and i said, “no i didn’t, i ran a yellow” “oh was it a yellow?” “ya it was yellow” “ok you ran a yellow light, can i see your license etc”, and then i got a ticket for “fail to stop at yellow light”, and what’s even more crazy is that, the cop truck got hit by a van while the cop was giving me a ticket, and he still gave me a ticket first, then checked out his truck, stupid bum, go look at your car, 2343987 ppl run yellow light

that’s my crazy weekend, 3 more weeks until Smash Bros, and all my other game system will be collecting dust for a while

pull a romo

on sunday i went snowboarding, and met up with bran on the mtn, and i “pulled a romo”

definition:

  1. break your collarbone
  2. forget your snowboard jacket
  3. more to come in 2008?

and of course, i’m still writing a blog here so it was #2, and i didn’t have a luxury of all the boarding stores in whistler so i could get one on the spot, but lucky me, it was super sunny and felt like spring boarding, ooorah

oh and then me and kei went to the other ramen place, motomachi shokudo (i think), it was really good, filled with jap workers and chef, really yum gyoza, if they didn’t have freakin $8.00 dollar minimum charge per person, and that each bowl is like $10 instead of $7 like kintaro, i’d go there more often

and look what i found! and if you preorder heartstation album you get a “utada hikaru b2 size orginal poster”!
