Good and Bad Things

There are going to be three (maybe more) topics I’m going to write about today:

Dell

I bought a Dell 😀 In my previous post I wrote about my car and that it got sold. With the money I got for my car I could buy this PC. Which I really need. My current PC isn’t too good (well, it lasted three years and I had a lot of good times with it), but my video card is kaputt and it’s hard to work or surf when you only see bright red/green stripes across the monitor.

So.. I’ve ordered the Dimension 9200 “Gamers Delignt”. I’m not a gamer but out of my sucky experience I ordered one of the newest video cards with it from nVidia – GeForce 8600. Other things it has:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
  • Windows XP Media Center (didn’t want Vista – yet)
  • 4096 RAM
  • 320 GB hard disc
  • Wide Flat Panel – 20″
  • McAffee Security

I can’t wait. I’m excited! I ordered the Office 2007 Student Edition from Amazon just before. It’s not that bad in price. I never thought I’d spend this much on a PC (and monitor) but I just hope I’ll have it a lot of years and that it’ll work fine. I’ve heard too many good things about Dell and I’m not geek enough, nor do I have the time to build a PC together by myself.

The PC will arrive on about June 8th!!

Death

I found out yesterday that one of my former school mates died in a car accident. I haven’t seen this guy in years but still it was quite upsetting for me, he was such a nice guy. This is the first time someone I knew died in a car accident. I was so upset, I just started crying and I couldn’t stop. Yeah, I’m one of those persons who can’t handle death. I should work on that issue…

Threadless.com

Aahhrrrg… I just searched Snark MB on who posted about Threadless, and it was SIGRUN!!! Thanks Sigrun – because of you I’m addicted to that place (Trayay aka Tracy is a 25.37 year old girl, has been a member since April 15, 2007, has scored 1496 submissions, giving an average score of 2.43.)! 😉 But seriously – thanks! 😀

Threadless has a sale (one T-shirt 10 dollars) and, of course, I had to order two. This place is so cheap, and with the Euro being so high I actually pay less than when I’d buy a t-shirt here in Germany at a store (not including H&M). But American Apparel for example – a t-shirt costs 30 EURO!!!!! This place is so damn expensive!

This time I ordered slogan t-shirts.
They say:
– Procrastinators – leaders of tomorrow and
– In case of emergency break dance

Hehe 😀 Can’t wait for those either. Always such a nice surprise to see them in my mailbox.

  1. *sigh* I wish I had a credit card so I could buy t-shirts at threadless.com. I’ve known that site for a couple of years now, but never actually purchased something there. 🙁

  3. Whoa!! sounds like an amazing computer! Im happy for you 😀 I bet you can’t wait for it to come in. Im so sorry to hear about your friend. It’s hard when someone you know passes on 😥

  4. On all subjects we agree. I love Dell. Their computers are the very best quality in my opinion. I have a Dell right now and am very happy with it. I don’t deal with death very well at all either. It’s horrible, sad, and scary. And threadless.com ROCKS. 🙂

  5. hey girl. congratulations on your dell. i think i need a new computer myself. 🙂 well, sorry to hear about your friend. it really is upsetting to hear about someone you know pass away. it’s hard to have to deal with it but everything will be okay.

  6. kewl about the dell. we have 2 desktops and 2 laptops by that company. my dad has only bought dell. he just bought like a few yrs ago one that was priced at like 22,000 us dollars… i guess it had a lot of memory and lots of other options. so we’re like a dell loving family

    sorry to hear about your former school mate’s death.

    threadless is neat. i like some of their shirts

  7. I recently ordered my first Threadless shirt! 🙂 They have so many nice ones, it’s really hard to decide. Now I’m gonna get the “Bleeding Heart” one, and I’m very curious about it 🙂

    cooool 😀 I’m surfing there again. I need to stop – ich arbeite nicht und ich brauche das Geld für WICHTIGERES!! 😉

  10. Sorry about your friend. I had an old high school/neighbor who died in a motorcycle accident as well back in December and it really crushed me for awhile because his older brother killed himself a few years ago. now there’s only one son left and he feels like there’s a vendetta against the family. So sad.
