Hey hey! Yesterday I bought a laptop. An HP laptop, to be precise, I guess. My parents had generously offered to pick up the tab, so I asked, "What's your price cap"? The said, "Well, we're not going over a thousand dollars. We'd like you to keep it under that.". No problem, I thought. So I hopped on HP.com and picked a model. The base specs weren't really what I was looking for, so I went component-by-component customizing this sucker. After half an hour, I had finished and the grand total had come to $999.55. Ha! I even had some left over cash! Now I can go spend that cool $.45 on a gumball or something.

That's what I imagine the inside of a septic tank looking like.

The meteor shower last night was really good. The minute Kaita and I walked out there, a giant fireball streaked across the sky. We ran and got some blankets and plopped down in the front yard. Between the swats at the incessant assault of mosquitoes and the fits of laughter caused by the local toads (Local Toads is a good band name), we kept careful watch on the night sky. While the subsequent meteors were not as spectacular as the first, there were a good amount of shooting stars. All in all, we spotted about 25.

I hate it when a company that is absolutely famous for a certain product runs out of the certain product. It happened to Taylor in Kansas. We went to Panera Bread and she ordered a sandwich. Everything would've been fine, except that Panera Bread quickly informed us that they had, in fact, run out of bread. Are you kidding me? That's like a gas station running out of gas, or Zumiez running out of low self-esteem! I think the very first chapter of any business management-type book should be "Don't make a certain product the lodestone of your company if you can't produce it.". DUH.

Ok, I think that's all. I can't wait until my laptop comes! Whee!
