Yay, computer
Whee, great news on the computer front. Zach and Oren came over today after work, we went to Romio's pizza place for dinner, then they helped me with my computer. At first it seemed like things were kind of doomed, then Zach had the idea to go online and download a Linux boot disk ISO and burn a CD and try to see if I could mount my hard drive. And it worked! Wheeee! So they got an FTP client working on my old computer, with it running linux off a CD and mounting the hard drive. How cool! So I've been FTPing over all of my files from the mounted hard drive. Yay. Then I'll throw the computer off my balcony. No, not really. The computer will probably go to my dad, and I'm not sure what I'll do with the monitor. Oren suggested Goodwill, though I seem to recall having issues getting Goodwill to take my monitor in the past.
We did open up my new computer, and boy is it weird. Dell has a bizarre case and the fan is huge and in the middle of it. I guess it's a good thing we didn't try to hook up the old hard drive to the new computer after all.
Some of my friends out here are starting to play D&D Online. In theory, if I'm going to play at all, I should start now. Thing is, I'm not sure I can justify the cost nor the idea of giving myself even another reason to sit at home alone, especially with the summer and baseball season starting, when what I need to be doing is getting out and meeting new people, even if I suck at it.
I dunno what else to say. My throat is feeling a bit better, though I am still kind of hoarse.
Also, um, the World Baseball Classic is starting, doing the Asia games this weekend. Japan's going to go 3-0, Korea 2-1, Taiwan 1-2, and China 0-3. Arr. The Tokyo Dome looks about as full as it did when the Nippon Ham Fighters played there.

some notes:
I don't think D&D online is that expensive. I guess josh always pays for gaming things, so maybe it is, but i don't think its so bad. I also don't think its quite the same thing as sitting at home alone, per se. I play these games mostly so that i can play with other people. The great thing about WoW for me was all the pittsburgh folk we played with.
On the other hand, i don't think you should feel compelled to play this, or feel guilty if you don't want to play. You don't have to want to play. But you should bug uf to do the things you want to do - like go to opening day.
