Graphics card side effect

Like I said, if my computer system isn't destined to come together, I'm just writing off the gaming. And that's had an interesting side effect, I've noticed. All of the sudden it's like I want to live, or something.

Out of the blue I starting writing down dialog for www.transylvania-tv.com sketches, and it's actually reasonably funny. Then I started looking for jobs! WTF!? Like, actually looking for jobs. I even applied at a couple places.

I think it all boils down to the fact that I'm sick of being poor. The compy was just the final straw. I had to compromise and buy a cheap tower, and now I can't even afford a new graphics card. It's totally gay.

I got harassed yesterday for buying an inexpensive bottle of scotch. And I'm not saying I shouldn't be. We're poor. We need to make a strict budget, but I resent having to. I'm old enough that I shouldn't have to do this crap. If I want a 2k Mac or a 3k gaming computer, I want to be able to just buy it.

So it's really time to make some changes.
