Man... It's been a looong time. Problem is, I'm so used to having my SK with me now, I forget to use it. Heh.

We went and bought our wedding rings this passed Thursday. Not much exciting to say about that. They're rings and all. [insert imaginary picture of ring shop]

I upgraded my PC over the weekend. I watched FedEx all week, waiting for my parts to come in (newegg.com rules, by the way). I finally had them all Thursday night and was ready to go. I gutted the entire case, so I could re-wire it the way I've wanted to for years. Finally, I had everything the way I wanted it and all the parts in. Like a giddy kid, I hit the power button and.......nothing. Drives spun up. The CPU fan spun, but that's it. I felt like the floor just dropped out from under me.

After an hour or so of sheer panic and frantic testing, I realized something. Turns out a new power standard was established after my last build. I ordered a new power supply that night and bought a temporary one for the meantime. My new machine screams. It just runs a bit hot right now, because of the crappy PS. I'm sure it'll cool off a bit withe the new PS.

Saw a Blazer on my way to work - huge, super-wide, chunky tread tires and jacked up almost another tire's height. It had a brand new, full-size spare tire on one of those swing arms on the back. Thing is, it was a standard size tire. Duh. Best part was the statement written on the back in Star Trek: TNG font - "Kick ass toyz aren't just for boyz" I've been trying all morning, but my eyes just won't roll hard enough.
