Weekend Update

Yeah yeah, I'm behind. Reason is, I keep meaning to take pictures of stuff that I wanted to put in my updates, but I never get around to doing it. Like for instance, I was going to take pictures of the computer I built (yes, it's nerdy) and put them up, but I never took any. Maybe for next time. Maybe.

Speaking of the computer, I finally got a new CD-RW drive for it, which should be much faster than the old one, which burned CDs so incredibly slowly. Now I can put my old machine back together and finally give it to my parents so they can stop using that hamster-in-a-box they call a computer. That thing has the processing power of like, a Commodore 64. Now they just need a monitor with, you know, color.

Marc and I didn't do a whole lot this weekend - Bandit had another herding lesson, and that was about it. Next lesson, one of us (read: me) is actually going to have to go in and start training with him. I'm going to have to get muck boots I guess, since it gets pretty muddy out there. Should be fun though! I'm looking forward to smelling like sheep.

We also started to look for an aquarium. We've been wanting to set one up for a while, and it's just been a matter of having the funds to do it. ;) Last night we happened to stumble upon this tropical fish store, and the guy who worked there was pretty helpful, and I think we can get a good deal on a tank there. Right now we're thinking of getting this 70 gallon tank, which is way bigger than we'd initially planned, but the shape of it (it's taller than it is wide) should actually fit nicely in our house. We have to decide now if we want to go freshwater or saltwater. I really want to do saltwater, since I've done the freshwater thing before, and the fish kind of bore me now. Saltwater takes a lot more work, but I think it would be a fun challenge.

Once we get it set up, I'll have to take pictures and put them up. Well, maybe.
