Speshul Treet

I guess I may as well put up my super short story. I don't feel like really writing today.
  "Delicious. Oh, how I do love almonds, and how I love their oh-so-tasty aroma," Salvatore sang to himself, prancing about his kitchen. Sal was a well known chef in his day, stirring up many a spicy dish. But no more. This was his last. His finale was  going to be as grand as any, hopefully even more so. He turned off the oven to get a taste of his newest meal. He turned on his TV, and plopped down into his ever-so-comfy recliner. As he watched the news for a short time, he sucked in every aspect of his dish. Sal frowned, mumbling, "Hmm, not quite ready. Needs more pepper."

    He arrived at the meeting early, to carefully add the finishing touches on his final masterpiece. The President was going to there, Sal knew. If Sal could impress him, one of the most powerful men in the world, his life would be complete. He readied everything to be served, and one by one everything was laid out for all the men and women at the table. As was customary, Sal, the chef, was to introduce the current dish. "Well, Sal, you've practiced this so many times. You know what to do... here goes nothing."

     There were no survivors.

 And in case the meanings escape you: 
Almonds = The smell of C4
Kitchen = Lab 
Chef = Bombmaker
Spicy Dish = Explosives
Meal = Explosion
Oven = Remote detonator safety 
Pepper = Blackpowder

Plight or Delight?

I love my computer. It runs. That's my number 1 requirement.

But I need more. I have four games I need to play on the computer. The aforementioned Minecraft, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Oblivion.

But I cannot. Sadly.

So I did some research. And I found out that SCREW THAT I DON'T HAVE $1000.
So I did some more research. And found out that it costs about $300, give or take, to assemble my own computer that runs like the $1000+ ones.

Still, don't have 300 bones to fork over, but it's better than $1000 for a computer that'll probably die in a month or so.

In the words of my idol:
"NAH NAH, WHY DON'T YOU GET A JOB."

Meinkraft est mein kraft.

Managed to get Minecraft working on my craptop. Fantastic game, what with the mechanisms and such.
Still runs slow, but it's worth it.

Although I have to turn the Mobs(aka monsters) off, since I don't want one of these guys:






to live up to their name of Creeper, and creeping up and EXPLODING.

Other than that, all's good, brah.
