Islands, Yoda, and the new hard drive

This weekend was fairly lively, by my standards. For others it may be just another day, but for me to even be willing to go outside my 5 mile radius bubble it was fairly large. My cousin Jane (yes relatives tend to get our names mixed up) called me up this past week and we made a date for the weekend to meet up for lunch. I chose to drive over to her side (Manhattan beach) since she's more familiar with where to go for food and such.

The weather turned out nice so after a meal at Islands where I did som
ething I rarely do, ordered an alcoholic beverage to go with my chicken tacos, we went for a walk around Manhattan beach with her dog named Yoda. A cute dachshund! I found out why he was named Yoda while sitting at the store watching my cousin browse the store. I finally got to really look at him from the front. With small dogs we tend to see them from the top so it's not nearly as noticeable but when I was face to face with him, his ears were HUGE! Everyone seem to like him, he growls at bigger dogs like he could totally take them on, but ignores little ones that come across his path. I purchased a few items, one for Oliver that I'm hoping will fit his body. I couldn't exactly tell from the photographs what his chest size is so we'll have to see.

After we parted, I made a stop at Fry's Electronics. I refuse to go to the Best Buy in Torrance on PCH anymore! I went in with the goal today of looking at what's on the shelves in regards to motherboards and with a resolve of b
uying a new external hard drive to clear off all the stuff I got on my internals. I've been toying with the idea of reformatting and cleaning up, but *urgh* so many programs to re-upload that it gave me a headache. WoW itself would take nearly 3-4hrs with all the patches. I don't want to think what GW + WoW together would take me.

Okay, so about my new baby:
Dear readers, I've officially gone Tera! Byte that is, how in the world can 1 single user ever plan to fill up that much space? Lets just say it isn't as hard as it looks. So now I have a baby tower, I need a name for it, any suggestions?

Any pictures of Yoda? I want to see.

What happen to Apple? I thought you want to switch??!!

no pictures of Yoda, I'll take a pic of him next time.

I was going to save up for a MacBook Pro, but decided that the need for space currently is more urgent.
