Today=Stuff.

I've had quite a good day today in terms of stuff.

It's not every day I go to get a cup of tea, and return to my desk One Hundred English Pounds richer, but today I did. If this happened every day, I'd be minted.

I went in town at lunchtime, and took back Prey, and got Test Drive Unlimited. As I said to Foss earlier:

"I’ve played the demo of TDU – you drive around an open ended world, and then challenge other people driving round online. It’s great for checking your testosterone levels, cos when someone goes speeding past you, your body pumps you full of it, and then you go “Right, I’m not having that, I must win!” and then burn off after him. If you then wanna make it official, you can challenge them to a race."

It was a toss up between this game and Dead Rising, but I've heard some bad things about the whole save system on Dead Rising, so I'll probably end up renting it instead.

What else do I have today? Well, I've bought a new Laptop, a Dell M1710. I'll post a full review in a couple of days, once I've done appropriate testing and picture taking. That should be arriving here in work at any moment. Why isn't it here yet, goddammit?

I've also taken delivery of my lapinator plus. It's not nearly as exciting as the laptop, or the xbox 360 game I've bought, but it is still mildly interesting, and will let me use my new laptop on my lap, without searing my balls, which is always a plus.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping to get my new mouse. Since I have a gaming laptop, I figured I probably

should have a gaming mouse too, so I've bought me a green Razer Copperhead. They're freaky sweet mice, apparently.

So I'm feeling a bit skint, but like they say, Money can't buy happiness. Actually, they're kinda right. It can't allow you to buy happiness, but it will allow you to rent it.

Like Clare Boothe Luce says, "Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable."

And finally, like I say, "Money Can't buy happiness, but it can buy you things that will make
you happy, like drugs, laptops, hookers and giant bean bags. "
