The Decision Has Been Made

I’ve decided that I am going to get a 15” MacBook Pro. Though it probably won’t be right away, I am certainly considering the jump soon (a month or two at most… or if I just can’t wait any longer. Whichever comes first). I figure that I have about $500 built up in vacation pay to cash out (it would be more if I wait a little longer), I have $100 that my mom decided to give me a while back for my passport fees (thanks mom!) that I set aside for something special, I can save $200 using an education discount, I am trying to sell my PSP, and I would try to sell my current HP laptop I bought in December with Windows Vista after I buy the Mac. So when you add that all up, it really wouldn’t be THAT much coming out of my account. Ha. I miss my Mac… And these things are so darn attractive and mesmerizing that they would even make Bill Gates drool. Step back Bill, they aren’t water resistant.

My first three days of work are finished, thank goodness. Tomorrow I need to drive myself down to Toronto for a Sony PlayStation 3 training thing from 10 to 4. Considering I can probably teach them a thing or two about the unit, I have a feeling it isn’t going to be very exciting. I’m just hoping there will be some free swag. Josh likes free swag. At least I’ll be getting paid for a regular shift while having a change of scenery and will get a nice freeway drive out of it. Nothing like blasting the tunes while having the car to yourself… Then I have Friday off and I’m back in the shop on Saturday. This will finally mark the end of a crazy week, only to have me back in for work on Monday. Eek.

The add-on I use for integrating Twitter into this site was down yesterday for some reason by the way, which is why there weren’t any updates on the right hand side for a while. I really was sending updates to Twitter and they were being posted, but you would have only been able to see them on my profile. If there is ever a lull in updates, check over there to see if Twitter Tools (the add-on) is down or not.

A certain project I’m helping with is coming along slowly but surely… About a year in the making, I’m pretty excited to have it finally in actual production. Stay tuned as the monster will be unleashed soon (and I mean it this time)… It’s quite a bit different than anything else I’ve been involved with before…

A bunch of the guys from work want to play on Xbox Live tonight as it’s been a while since we last had a big match. I guess I should get going and hop on. I’ll be shooting them down with snipers and rocket launchers while hovering above them in my oversized jetpack as the blatant product placement is flashed in front of our faces constantly. Yes, we’re playing Perfect Dark Zero. Good guess. Hey, it’s certainly no Halo, but it’s a fun FPS diversion to goof around with.

Game on.
