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.
