Hey everybody. Continuing the my new tradition of late blog posting, here I am. But I bring a new song called "Don't Wait" by Dashboard Confessional. Check out the music video above. It's really interesting, especially if you watch it all the way through.

Anyway, new laptop. I just bought a new laptop a few days ago from Dell. I wanted to get a 14.1" screen because (instead of the 15.4" or 17") for battery life reasons. Plus it's a little more mobile than the larger laptops. I had been eyeing this one for awhile but it just didn't have as good of deals as its cousin laptops ;) ironically, one night when me and logan we're up kinda late, I looked at the laptop again (a little after midnight, August 1st) and it had identical deals as the other laptops. Cautiously I decided to go ahead and buy the it. $700 later and that thing is all mine!

The cool part of the story is that the same morning (about 9am) I checked Dell.com again and all the deals of the previous night we're gone. I don't know what happened, but for just a couple of hours I was able to get the deal I'd been hoping for. Yeah for me!

For those curious about what kind of laptop I got, here are the specs:

1.86 GHz single-core processor (Intel)
60 GB Hard drive (5400rpm)
1.04 GB of DDR2 SDRAM
533 Mhz FSB speeds
802.11 b/g network card
DVD/CD burner @ 8x (dual-layer burning support)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I think I'm forgetting something, so just comment any questions. My next post will follow the trend of the "Love" post, meaning it should be a thoughtful and reflective post of a different topic altogether. Oh and mom, go back to the top of the page, unpause the video and watch it. I think you'll like it.

   Right on. You can play some good games on it. But what will you do when you leave on a mission? I reckon after two years it will still have okay specs.

   We could make good use of it at home while we help pay for your mission!
   
   I love the calendar at the top of the page! This one shows your classes, though, which I like, but the one you shared does not. Hmmmm.....

   Also, I like that it loads up faster than when you had the videos!
