I don't have a calender in my room but I do sometimes glance at the date thing on my pc toolbar. I was pretty shocked to see it was Feb 7th today. Wow. It still feels like January.
My routine has been pretty standard for the past 6 or 7 months: eat, school, guitar, and some exercise or sport type of thing. It's a pretty good routine. But there are a few things, or highlights, that are worth mentioning. First of all: I have been looking to get some computer hardware parts to help a friend build a pc. So far, so funny. Craigslist is usually bone cheap for stuff. But oh no no when it comes to hardware. Lots of people are trying to sell a 1gb ram/40gb hdd/pentium IV (or even III!) old pc for $100 to $150! I inquired on a few of these sales and asked if I could just have some of the parts for less or the whole thing for less. Negative. No body wants to give you a fair price. They say things like "this computer has worked good for years and I would like to get my asking price for it." or in the case of one rude person. "I am going to get my asking price for this and you are NEVER going to get it for that low of a price!" Fine, I said, have fun bringing that computer with you into your grave. Just kidding, I didn't say that to that person, I just thought it.
So I then tried Newegg. Newegg is really good. I would buy from them any day. but I wouldn't get separate hardware. I've added it all up and you'd end up paying more to build your own with the separate pieces etc. So Newegg is good, as in good for buying fully assembled computers.
Next I tried eBay. And luckily I did find some diamonds in the rough, or should I say, rip offs. It appears as though I could get the hopefully get the parts I want for the price I want.
Now all I have to do is find out what price I want, ie: Ask my friend how much he wants to spend etc.
I also have been re-writing (again!) my Ninja Monkeys story. Maybe this time I will get through the first 2 chapters! Yay! I have good ideas in my head for the plot. I just wish I could type as fast as I thought. Maybe one day somebody will invent some kind of mind reading thing that can type out what's in the brain. That sounds weird actually. I want to die before they invent that. Hmmm yes, enough said on that.
Well I must now go back to my routine. Farewell bloggy woggy.

Well, here we are to almost, "Goodbye, February! Wow you went fast!" well, at least that's the way I look at it! :)
In response to the comment you left on my blog, "how long does it take to make one (man bag)"
I HAVE NO IDEA!!! :D
I've started one, but I haven't really had much time to work on it, so unfortunately, it's not done! :)
Hope you and yours are all doing well!
God bless!
