So, I found the might and magic games that i like... And i got the 7th one (the one after my favorite one) for, like, six dollars. And i tried to run it with wineskin... with making my own skin... and it works!!! if i run it in a tiny window. not sure what is up with that... i have fiddled about with the skin settings... but it ghosts really badly on any other visual settings. so... tiny little window screen it is. it is playable... but so much for my pretty monitor.
I don't know why it didn't properly occur to me to buy a freaking printer. I have been moaning about how hard it is to print off powerpoint notes all freaking year... And how expensive it has been to print on campus... I've decided on a Brother HLL2365DW... Wireless duplex monochrome laser that comes with a regular sized toner...
And I've looked and looked and looked at beanbags... They have become quite the trendy thing... And I realize that fabric is important. I don't need a 'just leave it on your boat in all seasons' one... I also don't need a sheepskin one... But some of the other nicer fabrics are expensive... Anyway... I'm going to get a cheap corduroy one... I think the corduroy will be okay... It isn't shiny polyester, at any rate. 200L... The ones I like in the library are 250L it turns out... They are perhaps a little too big, though.
The library people said they needed to replace the beans every 6 months... So that makes them fairly expensive, actually. And nobody likes to ship beans... Anyway... I think the thing to do is to start out with this one and see how useful it is... If it turns out to be the multi-function desk / lounge chair that I envisage it to be... Will it sit to the right height? It is because my back does ache, rather. And I remember in Australia... How it would interrupt me working / interrupt me sleeping... And if I am going to get more serious about the gym and study both then heavy squats require comfortable studying positions.
So... That was nice... To get to decide what I want to spend the grading money on... And to do a lot of research on it so I know I'll be happy with what I get... I really do like online shopping...
Mouse can wait... And some other stuff... Printing and comfortable sitting... Desk lamp... I need a desk lamp, too...
