Yesterday, I picked up a router for the LAN I set up at the Geek Palace*, a new CD drive for Ming the Merciless**, The Buffy roleplaying game, and the Starships of the Galaxy sourcebook for Star Wars.

I really need to work on my impulse-buying tendencies.

* This is my roommates' name for the house we live in.

** Ming is my old Pentium 200 computer, so named because of the red and gold paint job I gave it; the cd drive was a replacement for the one I broke in the process. Now I can install Linux on it and move it into my room for use as a remote terminal (as soon as I get around to running wiring that far away from the "bridge", which is the area where all the other computers are).
