Turns out I either read the thing wrong or they shipped it early. Anyways, it’s on the road and due in on the 13th. This calls for a woot, so… WOOT!
Speaking of shipping did I ever mention my idea of an ICBM delivery system? No?
It goes like this: I submit an order. The instant the order comes in, the people at Amazon (or wherever I ordered from) package it and run it out to their launch pad. They place the package in the payload section of the rocket, and launch it off. According to Wikipedia, average flight time is about half an hour. So, half an hour after ordering my item, the missile shoots overhead, detaching a remote controlled plane/helicopter thing that contains my package. The folks at Amazon guide the craft in for a landing at my doorstep. I collect my package, smile and wave at the camera, and go back inside. A little while later, a cleanup crew arrives to recover the vehicle, and dig the ICBM out of my neighbors house.
As it turns out, my laptop will not be here by Monday — rather, it will be shipped out Monday, and arrive 5–6 days later.
That’s what you get when you try to save money. *Dramatic Sigh*
And that’s all for today, except for this: I’ve been playing a couple DS games a lot recently, so I think I shall put my brain to work and write reviews of them. Stay tuned, mark your calenders, etc.
And not from craigslist, either — even after checking back every day hoping for a good deal, I never found one that I felt comfortable buying. So I bought an Eee PC 1000HE from Amazon. Should be here by at least Monday of next week, but hopefully this Saturday.
I read a ton of reviews on it, and it is reputed to be the best netbook on the market. So if it turns out it sucks… I’m going to drive to Seattle and burn down the Amazon HQ. Then I’ll do the same to Asus. Then I might as well head over to DC and take out the White House and the Senate/Congress/Whatever building, in order to express my displeasure with our Government. Come on, Obama, getting a dog is NOT THE SORT OF CHANGE I WANTED WHEN I ELECTED YOU. Gah. America’s political system is insanely fucked up. Two parties… hell, it’s not even that, because there isn’t a single party I know of that wants to put a blanket ban import on everything from China and ban outsourcing — the two things that we need to do to turn this country around.
Anyway. That was kind of a tangent… I got a laptop! Yay for me. I’m going to bed.
‘Night, world.
