hola

Hey I almost forgot about this. Since I've last posted...


-My brother left on his mission

-I went to Disneyland

-I got glasses

Uhm I know more happened, but I'm blanking here... I've been trying to pick up some more hours at work and will probably grab a seasonal job if I can to help the school fund out while I have the semester off. We'll see how that goes.

Oh! I've also discovered netflix, which is probably not news to anyone who reads this, but hello! Why have I not joined before?! Actually, I know why. They used to just rent out movies by mail, which kinda sucks if you want to watch something new RIGHT NOW. So...they added the watch instantly online option for some movies and tv shows. Its great cause while I wait for movies to come by mail, I can still see certain movies and can watch pretty much any season of the office that I want. :P woo! I also figured out how to hook up my computer to my tv so I don't have to buy an xbox 360 or little cable box-type thing that will stream the movies from my computer to the tv.

Speaking of my computer, its on its death bed as we speak. :( Its been pretty good the past 3 1/2 years, but has been going down hill fast. Hopefully I can get all my stuff off it before it completely bites the dust. When I fully realized how bad it was getting (the screen was shorting out so bad, I could only use it when it decided to work and it only did that if I angled the screen to this one little spot....but even then sometimes it wouldn't work.

Well, the day I realized that my computer didn't really work and couldn't be fixed, I happened to get an email from hp which informed me they were having their laptop clearance. So I looked around at what they had the the reviews and I ordered this one:

From what my computer literate friends/family have said, it was a pretty good deal. It had a lot of free upgrades and was pretty affordable, as far as computers go, before the discounts. Frankly, compared to my dying laptop's 80gb hard drive, anything would probably impress me. :P But seriously, I am excited to get it.
And now some comedy from this guy:
