Wants… and other random stuff

I kinda want a MacBook Pro, still. The only reason is that I’m itching to learn the ropes of another OS. It’s a very geeky reason, but it’s still a good one to me. Too bad no one’s going to be funding me anytime soon.

My beatmania side is pleading for me to buy a PS2 and Guitar Hero I/II. Simply put, it’s like playing an air guitar, but it’s plastic, and you’re playing along to actual music (and if you screw up notes, there actually is no guitar part wherever you messed up… so if you screwed up that power chord, you’re not hearing it). The second rendition because it’s newer and it has Foo Fighters. I’m a sucker for Foo Fighters. The first because it’s also awesome, even if I hardly know any songs (okay, I don’t really know anything else on the second one other than Foo Fighters. >_>) And getting a PS2 means I can actually play the DDR game I bought (and brought to Sg.) in the States (yes, while I didn’t have a PS2). And I think I still have We <3 Katamari somewhere around here.
Another geek thing I want is a dedicated server, it’s about $60 USD a month, and I definately don’t have that kind of money on me. Maybe when I get a job whilst back in college in the States.

Currently considering (in alpha. order): Azusa, Baylor, Rice, UTD

- Azusa both scares and interests me because of how it’s in California, which makes me away from my home state and closer to Canada.
- Baylor and UTD are cool because I think it should be easier reapplying (did an application to both last year).
- Rice is there because Houston is awesome and it’s fun aiming high. Oh and I would totally want to live slightly off campus somewhere so I could stay all year round. >_>

Apparently Xboxes make good media centers. Hm.
