Broken
Fortunately, not many of the Nerd world actually know I blog, so I feel okay about sharing this with those of you that do.
Saturday morning, I slept in till about 9am (this is sleeping in for me) and decided to get my game on for a few hours before I ventured to Japantown (it's in San Francisco). At first, things seemed to be okay, but after about 15 minutes, I noticed these strange static lines moving all across my screen. 5 minutes later, my monitor shuts off and I have no idea what the hell is going on. After many minutes of attempting to restore things, I decide that the case (and myself) could use a good blow-off. Fortunately, my roommate has a can of compressed air for just such a purpose (to blow the dust from the components, you filthy minded people).
Much to my disappointment, after I give it the CO2 enema, it still responded the same way~ Powered it on...waited...saw the num lock key light up then watched the monitor power itself down again. Shit.
So there you have it...I've been computer-less until this morning when I came to work. I wish I could say I was anxious about getting it repaired, but I'm not. Sure I'd like to have it functional, but I know this means I'll have to drop some cash into it~fuck that...at least for now.
At least Japantown was entertaining as always. Leave it to legions of Asian girls to remind me that there are more interesting things than my computer. It's a shame I have no game.

Ok Tobi, help the Aussie out. Get your 'game on?' Is that some terminology for internet porn, or do I have that all wrong?
Oh no!! Another blogger computerless!! We need to start a charity I think!
Oh.. I'm sure you've got plenty of game ;)
...what is it with asian chicks? we're not that sexy :P
Game is the equivilent of wooing the opposite sex. It's a combination of knowing how to get a woman interested and the steps that follow (depending on how charming you can be).
LD - Asian girls are appealing to me probably because i've never been intimate with one. The same could be said for any other nationality/race I've not experienced.
Ahh, it's just a curiousity thing then :)
I don't think we're any different than other nationalities.. although, it's funnier when we say.. "only 5 dollar, etc..."
