Nov. 14th, 2005 04:30 pmSo I had a long, calm, nice weekend.
First off, didn't get to go to the cambridge brewing company's brewers dinner. That made me mad. Apparently they were booked up 2.5 weeks ahead of time, whereas last time we just walked in without reservations. The one week lead time I called in with just wasn't enough to secure us seats. *heavy sigh*
I will NOT make that mistake again.
So instead we went to the red house in harvard sq. for dinner. It was VERY TASTY! And we had CHAMPAGNE! So take that CBC. =P I ordered rabbit wrapped in bacon, stuffed with fancy sausage. It was so, freakin, tasty. My first time having rabbit, and I approved veddy muchos.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
prosicated looked stunning, and had a disgustingly good Lobster Risotto. We were both happily full of tastiness with wonderful appetizers and dessert, and took the T home.
Sunday after a tasty brunch at Christopher's, I went with some old friends to play Frisbee Golf way up north at the tip of Massachusetts. It was a beautiful day, I wore a T-shirt in November, and played ok once I warmed up.
All in all, a quite good weekend.

Now I'm working on building a new computer without adding any of my own money to the system. Aka., selling and trading stuff I own to build my new machine. So far I've sold a Nintendo DS (gameboy-thingy) and a hard drive, and just bought a motherboard. I now have $25 in my paypal account, so I need to sell something else before I can purchase my next part.
Sale worthy parts of replacing machine:
AthlonXP 2500+, $70+
Mobo - NF7-s 2.0, $40ish
Antec Sonata Case, $50ish
Radeon 9800pro 128mb, $100
So i can recoup at least $250 once I replace my current box. That'll cover the heatsink that I'll have to get retail, and most of the video card depending on which route I go.
I may run out of sellable/tradable items before I finish the machine, in which case I'll be forced to add some cash to the deal, but I'll at least offset the cost by half (minimum) before I hit that point.
