Early this week my power supply died out on me, again, only 1 year since it happened the last time and I got a replacement. The first one I got lasted about 2 years before it died on me last year, then when I received the replacement because of the warranty it was defective on arrival because of some messed up cable connection, and now it has died yet again. Needless to say I didn’t bother replacing it again, and I plan to stay far away from any NorthQ branded products in the future. The most annoying part was that I was doing the current daily heroic dungeon quest (say what?) in WoW, and just as we reached the trash mobs before the last boss my computer just faded into complete blackness and silence. Hopefully the random people I was grouped with didn’t assume I was an asshole that just quit without saying anything.

I ordered a Corsair VX450W, and it didn’t take too many days before it arrived here and I got my computer up and running again. So far so good. As a sidenote: the Corsair VX450W is the best smelling computer part I’ve ever received. Don’t act like you don’t smell your packages too.

Yesterday I went out with a couple of friends and had a few beers, it must have been months since I last got drunk, ’twas nice. Definitely noticed the lack of drinking as I laid down after coming home, as even after just a six pack or so my head started spinning in that god awful way it only does when drunk. You know when you can’t control your vision and it keeps shifting to the side, then sort of “resetting” before it start shifting and drifting off to the side again? Well whatever.

Also, today was my birthday, yay me.

No better way to start the week than a lovely feeling of rejected- and unwantedness. ‘Twas fun while it lasted I suppose, but me ever actually being happy for once and finding someone to enjoy life with for a while — it was too good to be true after all. Won’t bother with all the details, just the whole “I like you as a friend” thing (how unexpected), guess that sums it all up nicely. Now I probably sound awfully bitter, she’s a great girl and all that, and it’s not exactly her fault, it’s just rather frustrating that’s all. It’s gonna be hard to just be friends and act all happy-like, when all I can probably think about if we spent time together is how I’d like to rip her clothes off. Not really sure how that’s gonna work out too good.

I really do hate writing these feeling-sorry-for-yourself type of things, but I shall do so anyway, as the only thing I can keep thinking about is how it’ll probably be another 23 years until the next time I’ll get a chance to experience something like this again.

Well howdy there. There isn’t really much to update I’m afraid, that is not to say that I haven’t had a good time these last couple of weeks, because I certainly have. Tina has stayed over for days on end, on several occasions during the last few weeks, and it has been really great having her here. Watched movies and played lots of WoW together, as usual — and it has been fun.

Christmas was rather uneventful. We’ve usually had a couple people from the family over during Christmas eve, but now that my dad passed away it didn’t really seem the same, so it was just me and my mom and uncle together. Strange how as a kid I was looking forward to presents like crazy, but now it’s not quite as exciting (not that I mind getting them!), and now it’s more fun to figure out gifts to give to other people instead. I fulfilled the male stereotype (i.e. being boring and unimaginative) and got Tina some sexy underwear. My oh my, did she look tantalizingly good in that.

As for new years eve, I completely slept through it, go me!

Bought myself a nice Christmas present; The EC Archives: Tales From The Crypt Volume 1 + Volume 2, along with Vault Of Horror Volume 1. I remember reading “Iskalde Grøss” as a kid (it was the norwegian name for Tales From the Crypt more or less — though it was actually composed of various other E.C. Comics series as well. A sort of potpurri of horror comics if you will), and how incredibly awesome the drawing and writing was. I was pretty young at the time (wohoo for kind parents that never really set any limits) and they scared the shit out of me, but I still read them. Ah, good times. Can’t wait to get those in the mail and reminisce.

Hmm what more? Well I’d tell you all about my awesome WoW adventures now that I’ve reached lvl. 70 (current level cap), but this post is boring enough as it is, so I’ll refrain from that.

Happy new year etc.
