Yesterday I was making dinner for myself after a trip to the gym and I had some bagels but I felt I wanted something else so I quickly made a 90 second brown rice packet and threw in a few ounces of salsa and what I got was amazing! It was the perfect mix and it tasted so good that I really contemplated making more of it on the spot. Plus, salsa is good for you and brown rice isn't bad either. Whatever I end up having at dinner tonight will definitely have brown rice + salsa with it.
Yesterday the parts for my computer finally arrived and I was set to put it all together. As I began putting it together, I quickly ran into quite possibly the dumbest problem ever. The case that I ordered only came with 3 screw standoffs (the little brass things you use to mount the motherboard to the case)! Usually you get like 80 of them but I only got 3. After throwing a temper tantrum and wasting my time driving to wal mart to find some, I managed to mount it with just the 3 and get the PC running. The rest of the setup went flawlessly and my PC is up and running! I've only had time to install a few applications thus far but I'm excited to really test it out by seeing how it performs in a game of mine but I'm expecting some pretty bad ass results.
At lunch today, I went to a PC repair place and picked up some standoffs so tonight I'll remount the motherboard (properly, might I add) and try once more. Aside from the standoff snafu, I put the whole thing together in record time. In fact, of the 3 or 4 machines I've now put together, this was by far the fastest time it took me and best I can tell it works fine. I left it on overnight and came to it this morning with no problem and I've been able to remote a few things to it without a hitch. I'll still knock on wood but it looks promising!
After work today I'm going to the gym since I put it off yesterday. I'm going to go and then after my workout, cancel because it's too expensive. It's too bad because it was a pretty nice gym. Next on my gym list to try: Planet Fitness.
