Seriously... if it wasn't enough for an earthquake to hit right before I get hired full time, now the tax refund money I am depending on to live, might be delayed. You see, the arrival date of that said deposit was to be Friday, where now the government is talking about shutting down to meet budgets. Come on dude, its cool if you want to do something like that, but give us a heads up first. Don't just freaking do it one week...

Graphics Card
So I was indeed able to buy another graphics card, thanks to my state refund. It was a bit of a downgrade, but a steal for the price. I got a Geforce gts 450 for 129.99 at Fry's. I really want to buy a SSD hard drive to bump up my "windows base score". My computer has 7s across the board except for my hard drive. I just cannot justify buying one though. However I am back in business and my projects are snailing along. I have decided to put Reverie Blade on hold to create some smaller games, just to get my name out there.
I also found it interesting today, that I was in an exceptionally good mood. I think it might be a direct correlation to the fact that I bought 2 albums of music the previous day. I felt revitalized that same day I bought the music and listened to it. It has also been a long time since I have had ANY new music. It feels as though I have opened up a new chapter of my life to associate memories with the new tracks. I googled a few things and this article pretty much sums up what I felt.

Also if you are curious what two albums I bought, they were by the artist Phoenix. Give a listen to one of their songs "1901" They had me feeling euphoric all day.
