Day 005: Resist the Urge
Upon seeing Ben's entry on buying parts for computers and now the new WD hard drive with a window I nearly had a wild hair to dive back into speccing my next computer. Although, I would not get that hard drive because it's only 150 GB--the window would also be rather useless seemings how it'd be hidden. At the very least I expect my next computer to have a terabyte of storage. Which means I need to keep waiting. So anyways, to resist the urge to shop, I thought I'd write a new entry, which will undoubtedly be boring because, like yesterday, I have little to talk about today.
Have I yet mentioned that it isn't monetarily a smart idea to buy a car at christmas time? Especially if you are getting a new insurance plan to go along with it. Doing this means getting the bill for the insurance and the car tax a week before christmas. The good news is that I bought my Jeep on the 31st of December 2004 and the registration didn't go through until January. This gives me until the end of the month to pay the car taxes. Luckily the taxes are $168.08 cheaper than they were last year. If only that trend would continue every year. It's crazy how many miles I put on the Jeep in only a year. 4508. That's a little over 12 miles a day. Holy cow.
All new episodes of "My Name is Earl" and "The Office" are starting now. I'll start watching in 18 minutes so I can skip all the commercials. Till tomorrow!
