So, me and 13 other friends went to the comic strip in El Paso last night. The show started late, and we went to Taco Cabana afterwards so we didn't end up getting home until 3:00 am. I was pretty tired. It was the first time I have driven in El Paso, or a city that size. Las Cruces isn't nearly as bad, but there was no problems.

In other news, I bought some new speakers. I am very pleased with them. 500 watts for my computer. Very nice. I have been listening to them at pretty high volumes to test them out lately. Both days since I have had them, they have gotten me sick. I think it is the subwoofer and the pressure difference. I mean, when I can go outside put my hand on the wall of my bedroom and feel them, it is up just a little too loud. I definitely don't plan on listening to that high of volumes normally.

I am planning on buying a new computer sometime next year, or December of this year. I don't know yet. It all depends on what Microsoft is going to do with Longhorn, their new Operating System. I'm not going to buy a new computer that isn't capable of handling the OS to it's maximum. I'm planning on getting the Dell XPS. Right now they are at Generation 4 model and will be coming out with a Generation 5 model soon. I could sure use a new computer though, one of the fans went out on this one so I "rednecked it up" and took one from another computer, but it didn't fit, so I use those good ol twisty ties to help me out. You might be wondering why a computer geek majoring in Computer Science like me isn't building his own computer for a cheaper price. I could do that, but I don't think I want to go through all the hassle. I want to be able to customize it and get the components in it, and it be tested out for me and sent to my door step. That is what Dell will do for me. They had some pretty good deals out, 33% off. That took almost a grand off of my configured price. Very nice.
