Replacement Items |11:27 AM|
This is something I was working on in August, but haven't finished.

Things I would replace in and around my life.

My car:

My corolla has seen some rough times, and I admit I have a certain attachment to it. But given a chance to swap it for just about anything newer. Especially a snazzy new Celica.

I'd probably still want to add teeth, but no funny lights.

Given a chance, I'd probably stick some guns on it, spike the front wheels, turbo and install night vision windshield.




My current videocard leaves something to be desired.

While that's not an accurate image of my current card, with the functionality I'm asking for from its outdated chipset, it might as well be.

I'm thinking about replacing it with this.


The BFG 6800 overclocked extreme turbo gold edition. Water cooling is optional.
Requiring a 480 watt power supply, 2 of your HD power leads, an AGP slot and a PCI slot, this card is more powerful than your damn CPU.

About the only thing that could be better than this card would probably include a human brain.



A few other things I would replace will follow.
Pinky
Fellow Employees
Domicile
Weapon
Toaster

I just got done hauling my bed from the leasing office to my apartment. The box was enormous, but it wasn't as heavy as I had feared. Once I opened the box (As I lacked a truck due to poor planning) I found components that were just a hair too large to transport in my car, but not so heavy that I couldn't lift them.
After a bit of wrestling in my car, it became very clear they weren't going to fit.

I wonder how many people saw me huffing and puffing, bent over with large chunks of metal on my back, all the while singing "Oh my darlin' Clementine"? While running I could only think that that my thick polo and long pants were too heavy to be doing this in Texas, even if it was chillier than usual. Still, I think removing either would have gotten a lot of the wrong attention, possibly blinding people from the glare off of my skin.

I'm amazed a bed could make me so damned tired.
