Heh heh... new PCs for one and all! Me, I just did some quick-and-dirty upgrading over the last month or so. First I threw in an extra 512 MB of RAM (bringing me to 768 total) and then maybe two weeks ago I added a spanking-new graphics card. For maybe $130-150 altogether. So that's how I've managed to start playing Oblivion for the holidays. Then my sister gave me Shivering Isles and all the official mods pack (KOTN, etc.) for X-Mas.

So I guess my happy holidays are including a lot of Oblivion.

Edit: It's kind of funny putting all that new stuff on a circa-2002 PC, of course. My CD-DVD drive is still an aging wreck, after all. Processor is still only 2GHz. But it works.

HAPPY NEW YEAR , EVERYBODY .... Have a Great ' 0 8 !!!



Tonight on New Years Eve I will be doing my laundry in the laundryroom over the canal leading into our lake and also watching the firework competions over the lake. There are three different private residences that compete with each other every fourth of July and New Years Eve to put on the biggest fireworks show .. and they do it all 3 at once. Best fireworks displays I've ever seen. They say that the guy over on the rich East bank always wins; but hey, everyone is the winner to see such a show.

Err, happy new year. Man, I can't believe I missed this thread till now.

*engage random rant mode*

And OMG, it's 2008 now! I just got into the habit of writing down 2007 on my test-papers in the last two months. Now I need another ten months to get used to writing 2008 on them! Why?! The world is just not fair!

*disengage random rant mode*

And that was that. So happy new year again and have a good one, don't get too drunk and stuff. The folks here already quit their fireworks after half an hour. Meh, I don't really care. It's hard to sleep with all the racket, the stuff stinks, and they'd been doing it from this morning already. (Last year's morning).

Like I said, I wish y00 mucho $, babes & rock&roll, Starge.

I'm sending hugs and kisses to certain members later, if my ears survive the cannonade outside.

Happy new year, I think I might go off and have my first afternoon tea of the year.

1812 Overture anyone? No, not really, been playing Sandstorm by Darude while online last night. I didn't see or hear any fireworks in my part of the metroplex........... or was I too ingrossed in my own affairs?

I played GH at Tenek's house, had lots of bagel bites, a couple minibottles of coke zero, and played through a half-game of Magic the Gathering........ not a typical party between students halfway through their loast year until high (I think); it was just Tenek, his four lil' brothers (who don't get along very well when it comes to winning and losing), his mom, and I.

EDIT: Crap, I'm not just getting into middle school I'm getting out of it!

It may not be typical, but there aren't many things better than Guitar Hero and bagel bites.

*is teh jealous*

No one around here really plays Magic anymore. I have a box full of Magic cards.

My New Years was just like every other midnight and day. :shrug:

My New Year's Eve was spent working ridiculously hard at work until 11:30pm. I got back to my house with someone I know from work and we didn't even have the drinks ready when 12 hit. That was a bit disappointing and I hope that never happens again.

[canis216]

After the clock struck midnight I blasted The Black Keys for 15-20 minutes and then walked down to the footbridge crossing the Clark Fork River here in Missoula. It was pleasant.

Happy New Year everyone! May your best wishes come true! That and the other usual things like loads of chicks, money and whatever makes you happy.

In other news I'm gonna get a new PC!!! Hurray! This one will play Oblivion much better. I'll probably get the GOTY version to celebrate. That and a healthy dose of mods to make the game more enjoyable.

Relating my New Year, I spent it with two close friends which I've known from almost the beggining of my life: my cousin and my best mate. We spent a whole week at my house in the mountains together with my parents and our (my parents' and mine) godchildren (yes, I'm a godfather albeit the "little" godfather as we are reffered to in Romania). It was great. Hope next year will be even better.

Cheers!
