I got a lightsabre! Woot!

Kinda figured this was going to happen. Sylvia got me a lightsabre. One of these but mine is blue like Anakin's from Episode 1. It's super neat. Makes noise. Glows. When you power it up the lights in the blade light up in sequence so it actually looks like the blade is powering up just like in the movie. Very very very cool. It's funny because I had mentioned that I didn't want one because I didn't like it. Truthfully, I said it because I thought it was a very large investment for such a trivial thing. Super truthfully? I'm SOOO happy she got me one. It's been a while since I nurtured my inner Star Wars nerd/geek. Thank you, Love.

She also got me a rather substantial gift card for FS that I'm going to get great use out of. I'm going to wait until all the boxing week sales are over, however, because they won't price match during that period. I want a couple things: a G15 "Gaming" keyboard, a DVD dual layer burner and a few other odds and ends. Maybe some more memory for the rig. Get me up around 2 gigs or so. The keyboard has me a little pissed off. They currently list it at $99.95 but I can get it over at the Yellow Store for $25 bux less. My inner Scot coming out perhaps? Needless to say I want to be able to purchase them at FS but get the better price, hence needing to get the price matching service back in place.

I had 4 days off over the holidays, two of those paid. Yummy. I'm settling in here and starting to enjoy the work a little more now that I don't need to worry so much about making the noobtastic mistakes. Now I just worry about the normal mistakes that everyone seems to make. LOL.
