long post on my xsi, and a couple games. . .

okay, it's been a few days since my last post. . .want to post on a couple things.

lets start off with the money i'm saving for my canon xsi (yes. . .lol i'm still completely obsessed with this camera :) ).

i'm adding $100 today, and will be adding another $50 as soon as i'm able to cash one of my 100 dollar bills.
i'm also adding$14.80 from loose change i've saved (with the help of my parents) in the past week.
so with the money borrowed to my parents my new ammount saved is:

$217.90
of
$1,000

i'm getting there slowly but surely. . .and i'm sure i'll have plenty more to stash away this month.



me and my dad just got my mom a laptop computer off of ebay today.
my mom has a messed up knee, and it's really hard for her to sit at a desk for long periods of time.
a notebook is just what she needs, and i know she'll love it (i'll be setting up a wireless home network so she can use the net, and printer wherever she wants at her house).
it's a dell vostro 1500, has a 1.4ghz intel duo core processor, 15.4 screen, 2 gigs of ram, an envidia 128mb video card (can't remember the model number. . .it was a 8400 gs or something), and a built in mic/web cam (which my mom really wanted).
not the fastest, nor most impressive machine out there. . .but for my mom, it'll be waaaay more then she'll need (she'll be using it mainly to access the net, use ms word, and to do e-mailing, and to chat. the most intensive game she'll ever play?. . .bejeweled lol. . .dam is she addicted to that, and another game called chuzzle heh).
so i'm really excited about her getting this computer. . .she'll love it.



i was at a dollar store the other day, and i noticed they had a bunch of avatar the last air bender starter decks for sale. i couldn't believe it. i like the toon, and have wanted to try this game out.
i ended up buying 28 starters. . .i just couldn't pass them up at that price. and the starters are nice because the cards are all random, so there not all identical cards in each pack like most games.
i had alot of fun opening, reading, and sorting all the cards (it's been quite awhile since i've bought a booster box, or a large lot of cards).
i've only played a couple games so far (playing myself lol. . .i wish i had more nerdy friends! ah well, at least when i play myself, i can never lose! lol :p ).
the game is a bit too simple for my tastes, which i can sompletely understand. . .this is based off a kids toon after all.
my dad wants to try the game out with me, and at least it should be simple enough for him to grasp.
it was funny. . .i really wanted the rare aang chamber card. . .not the best chamber in the game (imho) but it was just really cool (12 force, 12 inniciative). . .i didn't pull him until i opened my very last starter. . .it's just funny how that worked out.
if my dad ends up liking the game and i get a bit more into the game, i may post a bit more on it.



and finaly. . .
i like the wizkids pirates constructable strategy game. . .unfortunently, i don't know anyone who will plau it with me.
but about a year ago i bought a $10 l/e set for the game (it came with the l/e hangman's noose ship) and ended up pulling the 22 point american constitution ship. . .it's an extremely strong ship and i love it.
well i was at walmart and saw a tin full of packs (only 5 packs). . .and i decided to pick it up.
i didn't pull anything amazing this time, but i still got some cool ships. i got the polaris l/e (one of my favorite looking ships), a l/e sea dragon (angelica). . .which is an absolute beast (unlimited movement. . .wow), a rare uss constitution (not the same as the one i pulled a long time ago) a couple rare unique treasres, and a few other cool things (a kraken sea monster, and a big "titan" crab. . .hehe pretty cute if you ask me).
now if only i had someone to play with :( . . .i really like the game.



so anyhow, there's my 1 billion word count (give or take several hundred million) post.
