Holy fuck. Home again. Fucking ridiculous - I'm not even gonna say that this time it's for good, I have no clue, I'm only home tonight because the family agreed to let me go home for my fucking birthday. I've been trying to work on a project for Widespread for the last month, and I can't seem to stay nailed to the house long enough to read my email.
I was thinking about writing a gigantic rant about my family situation and their bizarre habits, but I just can't get enthused about it. Stupid shit, annoying shit, scary shit and mind numbing shit has been happening for the last month. I have exploded on my family a few times, and these explosions have netted me a worthless 10-year-old laptop and a brand new Motorola Droid X2 with a data plan. Only a 200MB data plan, but it's my birthday present, and my brother-in-law had to take some heat from the women in the family to get it for me.
I am home alone. Me and the dog. I will find out tomorrow if I get to stay here for a few days.

P.S. And the one day I was home I decided to rip apart my POS computer so I could free up the case for my new build. So I didn't even have that computer to play with until about an hour ago.
P.P.S. I was up in Moscow, and I picked up the motherboard for the build I was posting about in another thread. I had some credit left over, so I picked up a used copy of Civilization V. It's Civilization, right? Don't need a big sweaty computer for Civilization, amirite?
Civilization V does NOT fucking run on a single-core XP laptop that has 512MB of RAM and 2001-era Intel graphics.
