$20 worth of case lights can buy you a few hours of happiness.

I played water polo with a hotel employee and some other people, my team won and I got a free pina colada with extra rum out of it. Also topless women on the beach. Yay.

Well... two days ago I realized my Windows 7 RC was going to expire in about 15 days. I rushed and got bought a copy of Windows 7 Professional for $60 off this student deal thing from microsoft. Next day I checked it, turns out I only got the upgrade version. Those bastards switched it at the last second. So I was talking with cloud and he told me how I could do some haxin and let me upgrade right from the RC to the RTM, so I ran took a mile and a half bikeride in the semi-melted snow to walmart to pickup some DVD's (and a new watch since my old one snapped) and when I got back I found out I could have just executed the exe from the extracted ISO without burning it...
So, I backed my crap up, started up the installation, finished the second season of haruhi while waiting for the extremely lengthy upgrade to finish... and I can say now... I GOT MY RTM ON! NO MORE REFORMATTING TO REINSTALL WINDOWS EVERY FEW MONTHS! ;D [table][tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr][/table] 2.4mb sig ã(ಠâ¿â¿à² ã)      (â¯à² â¿â¿à² )â¯ï¸µbıs qɯ4Ë2 |

Yeah me too, I still need to download W7 Ultimate upgrade. I got a w7 key from a guy who has access to the MSDN so now I just get my lazy ass to hit the download button, get the upgrade edition so I don't have to format, and put the key in and plug-n-chug. |

Something that never happens, happened today. They pushed the deadline back for something an LT is working on because we have too much stuff to do.Â
