So the laptop, though working, has become touch-and-go like a patient on life support.  I can’t really move it or I will lose the power connection.  Sure, I could order a new mobo but that would cost $300+ plus installation on an outdated laptop.  Forget that mess, I needs a new toy.

So I dropped about $950 bones on a Dell Vostro through work (which hopefully means I get their service plan, sweet!).  The new Vostros are built for business and don’t come loaded with a bunch of garbage trial software and what have you.  I was going to splurge and get the Macbook but it just wasn’t in the cards.  I also snagged a 300GB external HDD to transfer all of my nonsense, and the old Acer has now become the Torrent box (while it lasts of course).  I forgot how much I missed torrenting free shit.

Over the last week and a half I’ve gotten seasons 1-6 of Smallville (it’s cheesy but I dig it), the third season of LOST, season 6 of Scrubs, Heroes and almost done with Michael Moore’s Sicko.  For some reason it won’t finish.  Any other suggestions of decent shows out there to catch up on?  I hear Weeds is good, but I don’t like pot and pot humor so I’m not sure.

And that is that, back to our regularly scheduled babble.  Grrr politics, movies, books….!
