happy early birthday

there comes a time in everyones life, at least once a year, where they feel like they ought to be the center of attention. rather than go around telling everyone that my birthday is tomorrow (oh, did i just do that?), i'm going to tell you how i've already started celebrating.

1. an EVGA GTX 280 SSC edition and Far Cry 2


2. a canon SD1100IS point-and-shoot camera with sandisk extreme III 4GB SDHC card


3. 4GB of corsair dominator DDR2-1066MHz RAM (it goes well with farcry)


additionally, i just ordered a case and screen protector for my camera. so you may ask, why did i spend all this money? where do you get all this money?

i spent the money because i could. i don't buy things very often, but when i do, they're usually extremely expensive. aside from food, many of my purchases are typically at least $100, especially when it comes to technology, gadgets, electronics, and new goodies for my computer.

where did all this money come from, you ask? well, believe it or not, being a unit supervisor for residential computing actually pays very well...you just have to work for them. since i've been saving most of my paychecks since march and april, i decided a little spending was in order. i'm doing my part to put money back into our faltering economy, so you should be happy! i sure am ;)

since kiyoshi posted some computer pr0n of his, here are some quick shots with the new camera after i installed the ram and card:
