Say hello to me! I bought my amp home yesterday after a drive into harvey norman and a long wait in harvey norman. About harvey norman first though. When I got there I paid the layby off and I was "forced" to wait around while another woman had to go and find my amp. It isn't all that interesting, but while I was waiting around for it, the guy that originally served me and pointed me to the sony one walked by me. He obviously remembered me, because he gave me the "I know you" look as he walked by. I remembered who the hell he was, but I didn't say anything, so I left him wondering if I remembered him. So while I was in harvey norman (well, it was before I paid off my amp) I wandered over to the computer section and looked for half life 2, namely the collectors editions. So I find the normal one and I was like, what the fuck, where is the collectors edition?! So I wondered around looking at the computers and monitors, when I see a giant gordan freeman picture stuck up almost opposite where you walk in with the normal half life 2 and the collectors edition. I felt a little stupid at that point, but I got over it. What was better, the collectors edition (which includes half life 2, half life: source and counterstrike: source) is only $129, so if I don't get it for my birthday, I'll have enough money by then to buy it and play it during the holidays!

So I was thinking before I opened my amp, I was going to take photos of it being opened, but I was in too much of a rush, so I just ripped it open and I've only just taken photos. I spent around 2 hours this afternoon moving speakers, putting speakers in, adjusting speaker cable length, that kind of thing so I can have a 4.1 speaker setup (I don't have a centre speaker yet). So now I have the two big speakers that were running outside (which was replaced by our winnings :-), so now I have those sitting next to my bed, and my two smaller sony speakers up the front near my desk. How about I let the pictures speak for themselves. Oh, and yeah, sorry for the flash in amp-back_1.jpg, that was the only non-fuzzy one I took.


It's the left hand side of the amp (the back part!). Look at all those plugs.


Oh, it's the other side, imagine that.


This would be how the amp is controlled. See how it says PLII MUS? I can change that display to whatever I want!


Those would be the original speakers in the lounge room. They are about a metre tall and sound loud++.


That would be my "workstation", it is normally littered with books and assignments due in the next day, but I cleaned them all off. See the sub underneath the desk and next to my makeshift bin?! And, there is suppose to be another speaker on the left side of the desk, but I managed to get it out of the picture.

Yay, tomorrow is the last day of year 11! Go me! But also, tomorrow is the last day to get in 5 more assignments. Well, only really 1, and the other 4 (english and chemistry) both have nice teachers. Ms Pikoulos is being really extra nice, because I'm suppose to have two assignments in by tomorrow because my portfolio has to be sent away. She said that if she checked her email and found my assignments in there then she would include them in my portfolio (and mark them aswell), now how nice can she get? So I have to get them hopefully done by tonight, or even by friday night, just so she doesn't have to mark on a sunday.
