Trying out yet another new plugin here in my neverending effort to bring the Internet down to its knees with the excessive amount of power hungry plugins I’m always adding to this blog, but, whatever, I like to live dangerously.

This one now allows me to inject songs and playlists into my posts on the fly, straight from Grooveshark.  Me liksey!  Me likesey lotsies!  I think I’ll kick it off with a little Foreigner. 

I wanna know what love IIiiIiIIIiiiiiiiissss!  I want YOOOOU to shoOooOOoOow meeeeEEEeeeeE!!!

One upside to being spurned by the entire female population that exists for no other reason than to do Satan’s bidding: I get to spend on me, and me alone!

Once I got my tax refund, it was time to spend, spend, spendspendspend, all for me, and nobody else but meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Well, maybe Momsie too.

After coming back from Boston, it was time to finally make some much needed upgrades to my home office setup, a project that has at long last been legitimized by the fact that I am actually making some money off this blog now. My 8 year old desktop rig simply wasn’t cutting it anymore, making even the occasional Facebook use an aggravating bang-my-head-against-the-wall experience. My printer also fizzled out, not having printed a streak-free page for at least a year. So it was time… time to order the MOTHER OF ALL DESKTOP PCs, a custom build I put together that includes an Intel i7 CPU, a blistering fast Solid State Drive, the second fastest video card on the market from ATI, and a tower case fashioned with the same materials used to develop weapons for the military. OH YEAH, BABY.

Also placed an order for a new Canon MP990, a multifunction photo printer that scans and copies with the best of ‘em. I opted not to get one that includes a fax since I don’t have a landline, and even then I’d never use it. I can’t wait, as the photo printouts are said to be exceptional.

Finally, I’ll be plunking down for a new MacBook Pro, (if they ever release the new updates that is), and a GPS add-on for my iPod (if they ever get around to releasing that too). With that add-on I’ll be able to geocache, use Navigon for driving, and effectively utilize all the location based apps I have installed to help me find eateries and other points of interest while I get around.

Since I broke my old camera, I’ve also since upgraded with a Canon s90, the best compact digicam around for point and shoots and low-light photos, which seems to be my thing. I love me some night shots.

I am hoping this crazy nuts spending binge will all translate into a better blogging experience, both for me and you, especially with the acquisition of a MacBook. I’ve always wanted to compose music using GarageBand, and I’m hoping to dust off my electronic piano and see if I can’t finally put together some original tunes I can post here for my readers to enjoy, including my personal rendition of Air Supply’s All Out of Love. Tee hee.

On the downside, it also means I’m going to be very poor for a while, and I won’t be able to take another trip anywhere until May. Ah well, there’s always Manhattan in the meantime. I’ve made it here, so I know I can make it anywheeeeeeeeere!

Especially when there’s no female in my life to muck things up for me.
