What's going on?

Let me update everyone on what is going on.

I have two mongrels. I called the younger one Sheela- but dad calls her Shadow. Two females. Mongrels. They came into my life through my dad. He saw them at Utech and decided all by himself that God sent them to him. As a result they now live in my backyard. Mongrels. I hate dogs, I hate hate mongrels. Why couldn't we get an alsation or a rotwiler or a real dog. Mongrels.

[I had a picture but I lost it. Sorry.]

I have finally decided to forego the car and focus on the room. There is a lot of red tape to cut through but I think things will start this week. First step is clearing the room- then installing the heating, then painting and tiling- then living. Mom is going to turn my current room into a sitting room. How lame is that... very lame. I hope to post pictures of my setup when things are ready- should be about two months in total.

I have put a decent timetable on my activities. First is the room. Afterwards I will build my PC. Then after all that I will look about a method of transport.

World Cup is coming in about two weeks. I am bringing England and Italy. I know England won't win but I am not a wagonist. I am definately not bringing Brazil. I don't care if they have an amazing lineup. Brazil has yet to win in Europe and they are not making history this year. I really wanted to have my new television. I guess I will go with the old fashioned way- vcr, recording matches. I am just getting around to buying the needed items for my PVR though. Unfortunately by the time I receive these items it will be deep into the opening matches. I have finally settled on this baby coupled with Beyond TV and Flow Digital Cable. The only crappy thing about it is that Flow is dragging along with the startup process. I mean really... I want my Cable- I am willing to pay for it. If it takes them this long to deliver on promises imagine when they start. I am not getting their digital services. I would rather my girl gets that, tests it then I will venture there if it is really worth it.

My digital camera is now on assignment so expect more text. One of the reasons for my delay is because I wanted to accumilate some pics to share. However, I recently bought a 1GB SD Card for the Kodak. We can now take 1396 3MP pictures. How cool is that?

My v300 has internet- finally. Cable and Wireless is selling the Nokia 9300 for 44k. I am basically sitting on my hands to not buy it. If phones had a supreme being that nokia would be god.

Reinstalled my Alcohol 120% as well as my Remotely Anywhere. I am about to return to my usual online antics- finally. The only direction is up.

Oh. Finally. Hitman: Blood Money can't play on Jenna. Seemingly the processor is the only part that I failed. Can you believe this crap? My all time favourite third-person shooter can't be played on my machine. I have to build a machine to play on it. Hey: Rate my future build (from Newegg):
