Sick as a dog right now with a cold. In November. I thought I I was home free, made it through the whole year without a cold and then just as we roll into spring and I let my guard down tWM tracks on into the house. Bah!
D bought me a video card and a new game on Wednesday. She had seen me checking out “CivCity: Rome” a few times but when it came to actually buying the game, she couldn’t remember much except that it involved Rome. Yeah.
On the other hand, by all reports Caesar IV is a better game anyway and I got some bonus material with the game for pre-ordering it – it should be noted that I am pretty sure it was the online retailer that pre-ordered it, not D – so all is well.
Except. Except that when D went to get the card I had done some research and told her a specific model to buy. The store was out of stock but sold her a different one with assurances that it was the same except better! The same except PCI Express instead of AGP. The same except unusable in my computer which still uses steam instead of plugging into the wall. Ah well, we’ll fix that on the weekend.
Meanwhile, in an MSM conversation with the guy who left Giga – the job I just left – a week and a half after I started (Andrew is The Boy whom I despised):
-- asahi -- dan: lol the support girls msn’d me this morning saying they dont know if andrew knows what hes doing. I reassured them that he certainly doesnt :)
Oh dear, months from now I will still be laughing at that one.
