The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Funny you should mention that, I knew a guy in college who would constantly refer to himself as Christian Rosenkreuz and would try and convert everyone to Rosicrucianism! He even tried converting me, but I'm the last person you want to have a religious discussion (although I'm pretty sure it's not really a religion) with so he gave up fairly quick

That sounds like a very odd guy, I wonder how he found out about it. I'm glad my parents never forced me into any sort of religion.
 
I think I may have found what I want.

Graphics: Built-in NVIDIA GT130M 512MB Hybrid GDDR3 Video
CPU: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Mobile P8800 Dual-Core Processor @ 2.66GHz 1066FSB 3MB L2 Cache
RAM: 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3-1333 SODIMM Memory

I want to be able to record and mix audio shit using this. I also want to be able to play some games, but that's not a big concern. My parents are willing to pay up to $1000, at which point it's on me. This comes to $1000, and then I'll just buy myself a wireless mouse and keyboard and whatever other peripherals I want. Considering getting a massive external drive as well. I can burn through about $1500 between now and July and still meet my fundraising goal for school, so this works nicely.

That looks pretty good, and even the graphics card will probably be able to run most things (not at the highest settings either, but at least it'll run). A good size external won't be much money, as well as the mouse and keyboard.
 
Looks like it'll be about $160 for those peripherals...not bad. Overall a good deal.

For gaming, I want to play Crysis and Borderlands...this fits the recommended specs for Crysis, according to wiki, so yeah...I can deal with not being able to run anything sexier than that.
