Window shopping and dinner out.
I was really hoping to be able to find a desktop gaming pc on sale at Buy.com a little sooner, but it hasn't turned out that way.
Did I mention in the post that we are wanting a gaming pc?
I didn't?
Well yeah, seeing as the teens really only use the computer for playing WoW and other video games, Sebastian does all of his digital design stuff on the mini-netbook, they use the desktop to play WoW and do a few other things, but mostly gaming.
Buy.com does have a couple of refurbished desktops on sale this week, an HP, and a Dell, but they really aren't built for what we are needing, so we're going to do a look in-store later this afternoon and see what we can find, check out prices, and then I'll probably come back to Buy.com and see if they have a good gaming pc in stock to get.
They do have some other great stuff on sale though, like a Kingston 4GB microSDHC Card, for just $12 bucks with free shipping, which I could use either in my camera or in my cell phone.
I did buy myself a new cell phone today, I bought a Kyocera X-tc, I bought it for my birthday present to myself on Monday.
It was totally on sale too, just $59 down from $129, so yeah, I got a really great deal on a birthday present for myself.
They also have the hard rubberized cases for the X-tc, I want the purple one, but it's currently not in stock in that color, so I'll add it to my wish list to get later on.
Those are only $6.55 including the shipping, so yeah, I'll add that for a later date purchase.
What?
How old will I be turning?
40.
Yuh.
The big 4-0.
I feel like I'm 80 today, the cold and rain are kicking my butt, but after we get done doing some window shopping for the pc and go out to eat with sis and Susan, I'm going to come home, take a long hot shower, and bundle up under some warm blankets for the rest of the day and night, maybe curl up on the couch with my blankets and use the netbook from there for awhile.
Ok, this soon-to-be 40 year old needs to go get myself ready to go, hair brushed, teeth, clean clothes, ha ha.
Later days!

I got that one for my son for Christmas. For the price it's not a bad phone. The only thing I don't like about it is the smallness of the keyboard which makes the letters hard to see.

Have you looked at Tiger Direct? A couple of my friends bought really nice gaming machines there lately.

I have that phone and I absolutely love it! If you plan to access the internet on it at all, download the Opera Mini browser, it's not installed on the phone (at least it wasn't on mine), but it is a free download from VM. It is a zillion times faster and easier to use than the POS default web interface that it comes with. Once you download it, you can open it by going to My Stuff -> My Other Stuff -> Opera Mini on the menu.
I've had the phone for almost a year now, and have had absolutely no problems with it. Enjoy!
And Happy Birthday!

Good luck with the gaming pc! I haven't had need of one of those, so I've never had an excuse to buy an awesome-looking Alienware or anything.
