'Windows' Of Opportunity

I've had a bad past coupple of days.

Saturday: I was playing Free Realms, training to be a Ninja, but, the timed challenge I was doing was way too short. 30 some seconds to run around an island in a swamp, find some bags, then return to the start? Nuh uh. So I quit the game. Skype then crashes. I bring it back up and poof goes the task bar. So, a forced system shut down.

SUNDAY: Not so bad. Dad signed me and him up for Mysterium '09. But something came up, then, not a few minutes later, the laptop wakes from hibernation and restarts itself, installing updates.

Now: Well, I'm not so sure I'm wanting to go to Mysterium. I have to, but I'm not sure I'll enjoy it after some thinking. So, I think things through today as I log on to put up today's comic {28 for those at home) On Uru Obsession, I then realize that I'm almost out of comics to put up. So, I race to put a few more together. Guess what? The computer wants to install more STUPID Updates. After it just installed some LAST GORRAM NIGHT. Windows, tell me, is it ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO DO THIS?! IS IT?!

Let's just say that It's not put me in a good mood right now.

Inika...Toa Inika...

Well, I didn't exactly buy the Bionicle sets in 2006, and, outside of the Voyatoran, I really stoped then... But, looking back through some pictures on BZPower, I'm really regreting it. I'm regreting my stupid mind mis-reading of a stupid paragraph after I ordered the Voyatoran, and thinking that the heros I had grown to love the first few years of the melenium were dead. Or to be dead. I don't know...

So, looking now at a web site, I could order all six Inika for $160...

$160! You hear me?! If I asked someone for three year old sets...I'd...Can you imagine how that sounds? "Hey, could you get these three year old, 30 Dollar sets, in one nice package for me? I'll pay you back!" I don't think I have that much money!

I could use them in my comics, but I don't really need them. I want them...but... really...

I don't know what I can do really. I just got the Glatorian Legends, and I'm happy with them! {Missing Mata Nui} But I feel like I'm missing out. Yet at the same time I really don't want to spend any money in this stupid economy.

What's a guy to do when he's stuck between a rock and a hard place?
