Will is all aglow with anticipation for the impending arrival today of the parts he ordered on Monday from NewEgg.com for his new gaming super computer. This is his dream machine with each part researched and carefully selected to maximize his gaming environment. For you geeks out there, you can read up on all the components that will comprise his rig here. Of course, once it arrives this afternoon, he must assemble all the parts and install the OS before it becomes a real computer. I may kill him before the delivery man arrives if he gets much more antsy. He is already looking out the front window for the UPS truck although we both know it will not get here until around 4 PM. Maybe I should drug him and put him to sleep? I really am happy for him, he and Rachal have been saving and planning for this event for months as the total package comes to just over $1100. I will be appropriately jealous as he expects me to be. Once he has it up and running, it will probably be nigh on impossible to extricate him from his room for any reason except probably his need to eat something. Will spends most of his time on the Internet or one of his game consoles. A lot of the time he is on both the computer and a console ( he has an XBox360, a PS3 and a Wii). I am sure he will derive many hours of pleasure from the completed project. Heretofore he has been using a laptop, this is his first desktop (also the first time he has built one) which I am sure will provide many new experiences with its inherent differences from the laptop environment. I shall have fun watching him put all the myriad pieces together and I will hopefully be able to keep him from fucking up the process too much (if indeed he will listen to my kibitzing!). So today should prove to be an interesting exercise in patience for both of us. I will let you know how it goes.
Most of you probably already know the Grammy's were on Sunday night and Adele swept up 6 Grammy's, winning all the categories she was nominated in. During one of the commercial breaks in the broadcast, Adele came on stage and sang a reworked version of her hit song "Someone Like You" transforming it into a political statement ragging Newt Gingrich unmercifully and beautifully. The Video showed up on line yesterday and I have posted it just above the play list for today. The play list for today is a beautifully played, although lengthy, performance running just over 2 hours comprised of The Well Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach, BWV846 to BWV869 performed by Valery Afanassiev recorded in 1995. They played a portion of it on Venice Classic Radio as I was listening yesterday afternoon, however I liked the whole thing so much I thought I would post it in its entirety to provide you with a delightful bit of background music for whatever you happen to be doing. Just after the videos I have some rather lickable lads in an endearing edition of Random Hotness for your daily dose of man candy. Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
