Smile: finally got a new usb mouse so I don't have to borrow my moms all the time
Frown: The sensitivity of the scroll wheel is really high, and I'm not sure if I can adjust it

Ticked: Amazon is running a B2G1 sale on Vita games, a week after the games arrived here (they were released last week for 3G early adopters - I am not an early adopter (Wi-Fi for me) and am getting the system tomorrow).

Smile: After a 10 minute chat with an Amazon customer service rep, they credited my account $40.

Nice! I went to Target and they were like, the Vita doesn't go on sale until Wednesday ... so they haven't put out their games. I took the ad over to Best Buy and they honored it there.

Pissed off: Last week I went and picked up my new computer which I got the computer shop to build for me. I got it home and released that it had been put together by a monkey. The problems include:
-They gave me the wrong motherboard
-The video card kept crashing
-It blue screened on me twice
-None of the audio ports worked (I had to run sound through my monitor)
-The front fan/LED wasn't even connected!

So after waiting a week for them to build it, only for it to be a train wreck, I took it back. Fortunately the guy there was very embarrassed, and was disappointed that someone from his shop has made such a disastrous build. He seemed to put fixing mine on priority but sadly rang late yesterday saying that he had to format my hard drive. It will be a pain in the ass transferring all those files across again and installing all those games and programs, but hopefully when I pick it up (supposedly today, I'm waiting on a phone call) it will actually work!

Look in the Mouse settings at the Control Panel. There is a setting for how many lines to page down.

Smile: Today was our 34 week checkup at the gyno. Baby is looking quite healthy on the ultrasound. :D

Annoyed: My car battery took a dump on me this morning. It lasted six years. RIP old girl.

Isn't that the politically correct way to say that now?

Close indeed. We're thrilled! We won't know the sex until baby s1mple emerges from the birth canal. With so few surprises today, we decided to wait it out.
