8202 - Compusa giving up? We'll see on Friday.

[scottobear]

Authorization Replacement for big brain's replacement came down from high command- have to finalize on friday, but it looks like I'm getting an upgrade.

I'd have been satisfied with a $500 graphics card, but if they would rather give me a $3000 computer due to red tape, that's fine

Of course, if they give me a cash option, I'll build my own elsewhere.

Moment of Lyric - (youtube video)

Very superstitious, writing’s on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout’ to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin’ strong,
You don’t wanna save me, sad is my song.

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way, yeh, yeh.

Very superstitious, nothin’ more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil’s on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin’ glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way, no, no, no

AWESOME new compulter!

Also, what inspired you to create menstrualhut?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

thanks!

My gf and the time were checking out mum.org, and I realised there wasn't any sort of woman's health communities on lj yet, so I created one! it took off a lot better than I'd imagined word of mouth and fee-free might have done.

Cool! It looks like an awesome community. =)
