These Things

Went to see She Wants Revenge on Saturday night with my brother and my friend Acie. Needless to say, it was deliciously awesome. There were two bands opening for them, Monsters are Waiting, and Pretty Girls Make Graves. The first band, Monsters are waiting, had a pretty damn good show. If I had $10 cash, I would have bought there CD. After them, came Pretty Girls Make Graves. Didn't like them. Some dude that was standing in front of me did. A little too much. He would flip out when a song would get a little "heavier." That's in quotes because that band was not very heavy. I wanted to laugh at him, but I was too busy making sure he didn't get too close to me.
After all that jazz, She Wants Revenge came out. They ended the concert with a sing-a-long of the chorus to Tear you Apart.
After the concert, we headed out with semi-deaf ears of satisfaction and went to Justin's place to check out his Wii. After what felt like an hour of updating, which we blame on Justin's slow connection, and another thirty minutes of them trying to figure out why a controller died, they played it. It was rather meh. Of course, they were just playing multiplayer games. One thing that I really don't like about the Wii is the joystick add on thing. It feels too light for me. I understand that it's supposed to feel light because you are supposed to wave it around like an idiot for hours, but I would prefer just a tad bit more weight. Either way, I wasn't too impressed. I'm sure the Zelda game is pretty, but I really don't want to wave a controller around to slash my sword.
Stupid next gen consoles. =(

Today, I bought another computer.
It's not what you are probably thinking.
DeVry got newer computers for some labs and instead of throwing the old ones away, they sold them. They had more earlier, but I didn't know about it until last night and didn't get to buy one until this afternoon. From what I understand, they had 500mhz machines with 9gig(not sure) HDs and a monitor for $20. The other option was a 933mhz computer with no HD and a monitor for $30, which is what I bought. As for the ram, I'm not exactly sure. I believe the 500s had 128 and the 933s have 256.
Anyways, I ended up going to Fry's to look at HD prices. Then I went to Best Buy and checked out the HDs there. I ended up buying a 120gig HD for $50. Not too shabby.
So when I get home tonight, I'm going to install the new HD, install Windows 2003 server, and then play with it. Should be interesting.
Oh yes, the reason I bought the computer was to just have another computer on my network at home. Can't be a router head and not have a decently sized network in my home.

Pacific Mall Directory.


Pacific Mall Directory Index, aka, lots of stores.

Crispy Seaweed

Spicy Crispy Seaweed, YUM!!!


GuitarFreaks V2. OHSNAPZQ!! If only the Drummania they had was V2. =(


The entrance to a section upstairs. Looked pretty damn awesome in person.


Cool rock(fake?) thing next to a bridge that was the center of the entrance.


The left wall of the entrance.


Tiles on the ceiling of the entrance.


In this area that was section off, there was a cool bakery and a little shop thing that made puff things. Yes, I know. Things. Anyways, they smell reminded me of waffle cones and they tasted sort of like pastry puffs. They were delicious and only cost five Canadian dollars(that's like what? One American dollar? Lawlz) for two bags of them.
GO GO GADGET PICTURES!

Puff things in the bag.


Puff things in my hand.

My Visit

Was awesome.

I ended up buying Megaman X Collection on my first day there. =X
I had totally forgot that the game existed, and it was only $20. Win.

Sunday, we went to Toronto. The Pacific Mall, to be precise. It was delicious.
I bought lots of little figures and gachapon crap. Wanted an awesome wallet, but that specific store only took visa =(
The arcade there had Tekken DR =O
And IIDX Happy Sky =O
And GuitarFreaks V2 =O (but not so much because i don't like that game)
I'll post the pictures that I took later.

Other than that, I just hung around my love while I was there. Awesome times.

Started new classes Monday.
Yesterday I had a mini adventure.

I went to the half price books down the road to find a copy of "Skeleton Crew" by Stephen King. They didn't have it, but just about every other book by him. So I went to the Target around the corner and bought a journal for my scripting class and then headed across the street to the Barnes and Nobles inside of the Irving Mall. As I parked and walked out of my car, I hear a loud hissing noise. I put on a confused face (that happened to be in my pocket) and checked it out. As I look at my passanger rear tire, I see a shard of metal sticking out of it. Lame. And thinking back on it now, I should have taken a picture. Anyways, I go inside of Barnes & Nobles, find the book and buy it. I go back outside to my car, call my parents and tell them the situation, mostly so that they can see if the tires are insured for this kind of thing. I then proceed to put on the spare, put the "sharded" tire into my trunk, go back into the Barnes & Nobles to wash my hands and then head back too school for my Scripting class.

Today, I am supposed to get a new tire.
And right now, I'm playing Megaman X collection.
If I remember any more things that are a bit interesting, I'll post it when I post the pictures. Which may be later tonight if I'm feeling ambitious.

Lots of love to my love
