I now have a 10 hour ride up to Michigan with my family, it's going to be pretty awful. I was planning on possibly getting into an altered state of mind before hand (wink wink nudge nudge) but Im kinda out of a required part of that process... Curses.

it's seriously a neat gadget. be happy with it - it's probably more expensive than an ipod anyway. only reason I didn't get one for myself earlier is because I always thought you needed to pay some sort of subscription fee to use the GPS satellites. Apparently the only thing you have to pay for is updates to the thing's maps, and I think that's optional.
She also got me a Roomba... while, sadly, I bought one for myself two weeks ago... and she can't return the one she bought me, so she has to keep it. but what are the odds? it's such a random thing. I bought myself a vacuum cleaning robot and she bought me one at the same time. btw, if you live in a 1 bedroom type apartment with flat floors, I highly recommend one. it's awesome. I hate vacuuming and I seriously don't have to anymore. if you have more than like 3 rooms to clean though, it's kinda too much space for 1 roomba to cover.

What did I get....
Jane (my gorgeous fiance!) got me a Nintendo Wii, which considering the stock problems in the UK, was some achievement. I bought myself a new Motherboard and RAM, so I'd have something to plug the Q6600 that's been on my desk 2 months into. Next stop is Graphics card. And my parents sent me £100 to spend as I wish.
All in all, pretty damn good. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
I also as a result played Crysis, and did say 'Wooooo pretty' at everything, but the AI is seriously, pretty damn thick.
