I'm trying to debate what I should do with the new apartment. Since I'm paying $200 less for rent, should I save up some of that money for...

1) New bedroom furniture, or at least a new bed.
2) The trip to Mexico in October.
3) The trip to Japan in whenever-we-decide-to-go.
4) Fun - a new gun and a new video card!

What do you guys think?

Use the rest of your rent money to buy a nice suit, then you can go all James Bond on the ladies.

I made the leap.  Here's my new baby, which should arrive Monday or Tuesday.

Outside of buying some necessities for the new apartment and picking up some ammo, I think I'll be financially responsible thing (wow, that makes me feel old) and throw my rent savings into my mortgage fund.

Good suggestion on the video card, Stick.  My geek cred remains fully intact, thanks to you!

Are you playing it too, Briney?

Bootlegged, I hope?

Should I play it before I play Earth 2160?  Come on!  Earth 21x0 for life, yo!

Here's something totally off-topic.  Final Fantasy XIII (that's 13!) will likely be announced at E3 before Final Fantasy XII even hits our shores.  Here's some speculative linkage...

My new video card should be here today!  Can I get a w00t in the hizzouse?

Of course, I've got class tonight, so I won't even be able to install it until after church tomorrow.  By the time I get the old card (FX5600 w/ 256MB) pulled, some of the dust cleaned out (yuck!), the new card installed, everything plugged back in, drivers installed, and Oblivion installed, it'll be time to go to bed.  Blech.

Maybe if I hurry, I'll get an hour of Oblivion pimpage goin' on before I have to set it aside until Saturday.  SUCK!

My card came!  If I can get back from South Haven quickly enough, I might even be able to install it tonight!
