howdy all...well kim, that sort of sucks...but that's ok. it's good to at least look young... =)

so yeah, remember how i bought a nice, new 17" LCD panel monitor...so that was a piece of crap!! i got it from costco...less than a month later, the screen goes randomly blank, overheats and burns out. boooo....!!!

so no more dealing with crap...i returned it and got my full money back. and i didn't want to do this, but I did. i went to the store of evil...FRY'S. good gracious i hate that store!! but they have a lot of quality monitors there...so i went. my mindset was aimed at a decent 17" monitor of a reputable brand... and now, i am typing to you guys on a SONY 19" monitor...muahaha. =) this thing is bigger than my tv. ok, it did cost a bit much and there is a rebate involved....but after the rebate, it's only about 100 more for a bigger screen plus it's a sony. =) this makes me quite happy unless this one breaks down and if that does happen i will go on a roaring rampage of revenge. =) but i think this will be good....

as we speak, rodel is buying me another hard drive and a dvd-rw to put in my little ghetto computer. =) you would think that with me being a girl and making some money i'd spend it all on clothes and what not...but i haven't...been spending on all these new technology gadgets...it's sort of neat. =) anyway, still got a mountain of grading to get done...anyone who would like to help, give a ring.. =)
