Audioslave apparently breeds architectural inspiration. Or it could be the jelly beans.

Totally fangirling Toyo Ito right now. So damn awesome.
All of those links are new windows/tabs if you're firefox.

So I'm going to an interview tomorrow.
An interview for an internship.
It's pretty exciting.
I'm also very nervous.

In other news!

Hokay. So I have to upgrade my computer. Would any of my friendly Friends-listers be able to reccomend unto me a good place to buy computer parts and then pay mans to put them together for me? At the moment I am just sourcing prices from different people, but I would like to do this properly this time, so I think it's fairly important.
What I basically need/want is:

- New Graphics card. I want an Nvidia GeForce something something. 7 or 8 series, I can't remember which one is apparently the good one. According to the Nvidia website these are much more affordable than I had thought. Budget for that is about $200 maxxxxxx.

- New processor. I want Pentium, and Dual Core or better. [livejournal.com profile] dailfire tells me that there's some special on the new crazy Quad Core so it's comparative in pricing to Dual Core. I want. What would I use it for, I hear you ask? Come watch how long it takes to render a 3ds MAX file sometime. :P

- According to a computermaans I spoke to earlier, this means I will need new RAM. I will not survive on less than 2GB. More Is probably unaffordable??

- And also according to computermaaans this means I need a new motherboard. I don't know what these do, really, except you stick everything in them.

-And finally according to computermaaans this means I need a new case. And I don't want some ugly brickbox either, I am a girl after all. Some kind of black and silver affair with some kind of awesome is preferrable. Floppy disk drive... is it even possible to get them anymore? I kind of half... oh okay, I don't use them any more, and Idril will be going to my parents, (sans HDD's) so I'll still have access to it... Front USB ports... Maybe a reset buttan would be nice. I hear fans are pretty important in built machines too. So that.

I have a keyboard mouse monitor and harddrives, is there anything else I need?

Nobody actually has to answer these questions if they don't want to, btw, because now at least I've written down the things I have been thinking, and then I can go and adventure for knowledge or something.

I SHOULD GET TO MODELLING NOW.

Thanks for that list! I'll check them out.
One of the guys at work mentioned Austin Computers... (But he seems kinda silly, hehe).

Ha, thanks. I don't know if I'd end up buying stuff online, since I don't really trust delivery companies so much with things as fragile as Computers/parts.

Haha, maybe I find that sound inspirational! (Probably not though :D).

Thanks again :D
