Weekend

I went home this weekend to get my laptop. It arrived last week. It's running Windows 7 which I can only describe as swooshy. Not too sure how I like the interface. If anything, I find it a little difficult to find things. Supposedly you can just type whatever program you're looking for into this search thing on the start button, but...well, I'd rather just do it through the big pop-up menus. Old habits die hard, I guess. The new laptop is a definite upgrade, but the video card really sucks. I tried out Assissin's Creed and it ran very slowly. Knights of the Old Republic runs pretty well, though, and the sound and movie watching quality is awesome. Considering I play video games once a week at most, I'm not too broken up about the lack of video card power. I only paid $800 for this thing and if I wanted a real gaming laptop, that would be at least $1500.

In other news, we had a wierd family lunch today. We were eating rice porridge and mom had cut up one of those thousand-year old egg things. At one point, Dad suggested I have some and I said no thanks. Yuck. May went, "Angela hates runny eggs, right Ange?" And I nodded. Then Dad went, "Well, just wait till she's pregnant. THEN she'll like them." What? WHAT? Where did that come from? I don't plan on getting knocked up anytime soon, thanks very much. And if I did want to get knocked up, well 1) I'd want to have my architect's license first and 2) I would want to have a potential dad who didn't just recently refer to babies as worm-like ugly things. No babies for me, thanks very much. I guess Mom and Dad are kind of freaked out that I'm dating Axel and seem to be in it for the long run. No babies. Ew.
