So, I got it.
Yup.
Ordered it Wednesday. It’s been sittingon a FedEx truck since Saturday because we didn’t have weekend delivery. The delivery lady came right as I turned the corner walking home from school.
I went trick or treating. I’m waiting for the battery to die because that’s supposed to calibrate it.
I’m not writing much because you losers only gave me 2 comments on the last post. In a week. I’m quite hurt.
But I’ll give you two pictures.

The last post was to say my iMac was for sale, and this one is to say that it’s gone… 
It’s sort of scary to think that I spent so much time working to save up for this computer, and in 24 hours, it won’t be with me anymore. I’m not sure I’ll be able to fall asleep without his sleep light pulsating through the night… However, I got a pretty good deal for it… $525 paid in person, no shipping charges or anything, to some guy who’s buying it for his son. I hope you enjoy it, son. You damn well better enjoy it. I suppose I’ll order the new PowerBook tomorrow after I have my payment. Or if we’re going to pick up my sister on Friday, maybe I’ll buy it from the Apple Store and pay a bit extra for tax… Well… I guess that’s about it. Don’t expect any posts, comments, emails, or IMs from me within the next few days at least. If I’m lucky, I might get it on Friday, maybe Saturday (though I’m not sure I’ll be home), or maybe as late as Monday (which would definitely jeopardize some hardcore-freezing-outside-Trick-or-Treating time). Adios Maximillian. Hola Kelly (good name?). Now where will I put George…? 
I’m ready to buy myself a new 15″ PowerBook, but my mom wants me to sell my current computer first.
15″ iMac G4
800MHz Processor
512MB RAM
60GB HD
nVidia GeForce 2MX
Combo Drive
Apple Pro Speakers
Apple Pro Keyboard and Mouse
It still has plenty of power for everyday use, I’m just looking to upgrade to a laptop.
I’m looking for $550, but if we’re buddies, I might give you a little discount.
Thanks,
Armin

I was a warrior. I felt powerful wielding my weapon high and strong for my companions to behold. I was in my native territory. I was king of my domain. I hunted him. I withstood his tests of agility and patience, and in the end, I was dominant.
I killed an enormous fly today. In fact, it was enor-moose.
I suppose I’ve had a rather groovy weekend. The Ever-So-Yearned-After bell marking the end of Español and the beginning of my weekend came earlier than anticipated and at quite a wonderful time. The plan for Friday was to go pick up mi hermana from Tech, go to IKEA, purchase yours truly and yours truly’s father a desk, and finish it all up with some cello kabob at the Persian restaurant. The plan was executed beautiful with one minor flaw; IKEA never has anything in stock.
I found a sweet table top and leg set as well as a nice set of drawers, but we couldn’t find the table top at all in their Self-Serve area. Asked some chick, she said they had 27, but if there weren’t any on the floor, then there weren’t any in stock… Umm… yeah, right…
Mi madre noticed a pallet of boxes two shelves up that had the same item number as my groovy desk. So anyway, they’re not allowed to pull out forklifts during store hours, so they said they’d take them down tonight and put two aside for us (mi padre wanted one too) to pick up tomorrow. Gave us a hold form and we were on our way.
The next day I went to piano and then the eye doctor again for a followup exam. Let’s just say the doctor is a complete idiot, but that’s an entirely different rant in and of itself. Came home… my dad was being lazy… When we finally left to go get the desks, he told me he wanted to stop at Brandsmart to see what TVs they had. (I said we were getting a TV last week, but I lied. That was the plan, but my dad is sort of cheap.) I said whatever, I just want my desk, not thinking they’d have anything other than generic Taiwanese brands you’d never heard of.
So we go to Brandsmart, and end up buying a TV in a matter of 15 minutes. Heh, didn’t expect that to happen. I’m normally not a fan of Sharp, but their AQUOS TVs are pretty well known and it’s hella sleek. The standard definition doesn’t look too great up close, but whatever. We’ll just have to get HD soon. So then we went to IKEA to pick up the desks…
I guess usually when you put an item on hold, you pay for it in advance so they’ll put it aside for you… But these dudes were being really nice or something and just took them aside for us I guess. When we tried to pay for them, the lady told us they were already paid for and said we could just go… So umm… we did try to pay for them… Two $29 tables for free though… :/
Spent the evening with wonderful people doing wonderful things, singing wonderful songs, and being wonderful in general. 
I got up this morning to put together my desk because that’s what I was most excited about and needed the most. Needless to say, it’s huge. And it’s also needless to say anything other than that.
Note the file cabinet drawer, my aamazing monkey named George who dwells atop my iMac, the fish keychain on my bulletin board, the screwed up CD I actually use as a coaster, and my kick-ass Mexican wallet (courtesy of Obed)
There’s not much else to say. Life is pretty good. School isn’t bad. My science fair project isn’t really working out though… We got our approvals back last week. I started last week. And nothing’s happened yet… Umm… not good. Bad mold.
I’ve decided to make myself a bedtime of 10:15, and word on the street is that that’s what all the pimps are doing.
