I guess I’m digging myself a hole. I just ordered a hard drive upgrade for my Powerbook. Two and a half years ago when I bought it, 6Gb for a laptop was pretty good, but for a couple hundred now I’m getting 40Gb for the same slot. Plus getting copies of Jaguar (Mac OSX 10.2) for my iMac and Powerbook. I want to set up a dual-boot on the Powerbook so I can run the version of VirtualPC I have on there without shelling out more money… so I’m not having them install that with the HD… Or … I’ll ask them Friday how much extra that would cost…
Anyway, Friday night is a release party for Jaguar, so I’m going to go up to the place (MacMedia) on Friday night to pick up my copy of Jaguar, drop off my laptop, and hang out for their 10:20 to midnight party/giveaways/whatever. I’ll also have to be down there on Saturday, so on either Friday (preferred) or Saturday, I’d like to find someone who’d like to go see The Good Girl with me at the Camelview right near MacMedia. You know, kill two birds with one stone. Trick to finding someone for Friday is finding someone who not only wants to see an independant movie with me, but also likes Macs enough to want to spend 100 minutes at a Mac store surrounded by Mac fanatics with me. (They might win an iMac! Other prizes, maybe!)
So, where am I finding the money for this? Well… Getting a bonus on this week’s paycheck, plus had several hundred dollars set aside for bicycle maintenence that I’m putting off a couple months anyway, plus … I’m betting that a seat doesn’t open in at least one of the classes I need, saving me hundreds of dollars next week. Not a good bet as far as me wanting to take classes goes, but a pretty good one based on everything I know about the situation.
Of course, I feel like I’m spending “too much”, but I couldn’t let myself spend so much that I couldn’t make appropriate payments on everything. Missing a payment on a credit card or a loan or paying rent late or any of that is simply not an option. Spending “too much” just means I have less cash for eating out and buying DVDs, and making payments closer to the minimums for a while. I really need to get this under control, though. I need more focus. I need to choose something to focus on…
I’m interested, but I believe I have people coming over to my house on Friday night for steaks. and you and Zoe are always a freath breathe of air. I’ll call you and see what’s up on Friday. I don’t know if my dinner guests are too enthused about the whole thing, so it’s all still up in the air.

I find it kind of ironic that she knew that I would be there, even tho I was never mentioned in the post ;>
Granted, I will be there, but thats not the point…

You mentioned somewhere that you were up for the mac shopping, but probably not the movie.
