My furniture is here!

Especially my much beloved desk from Crate and Barrel. After lots of effort in putting both the desk and the stacker (which I am going to use as a TV stand) together, I now have all my furniture put together. I love my desk, it's beautiful. Stained dark brown, with a glass top and a pull out tray with carved slots for you to put stationary, it's large enough to put my monitor, two speakers and desk lamp and still have lots of space on the side.

In other news, the cheque which i forgot to bring and my mum mailed to me, still isn't here yet. I am starting to get worried, even though the post office in Singapore says 9 to 12 days for mail to reach the states so I guess I'll hold out on the panicking. The thing is, I need that money and I need it now. I'm running short. Besides which if a cheque for 3000 dollars is lost in the mail every one else I know would panic too.

I also have a *small* problem with my computer that maybe one of the computer expert guys who read this blog could solve. My programs shut themselves down. More specifically the games and only the games. Movies and music play fine on my computer but when I installed old games (that work perfectly fine on my older laptop) and tried to play them they shut down instantly. Also KOTOR shuts down every 15 min. What is wrong with the computer?

Sounds like a graphic driver conflict. Try downloading a driver from your manufacturer's website and installing that (manually if you have to). Also, you might want to check out one or more of several KoTOR troubleshooting lists out there. As for the older games, the chance is higher that support for them has ceased, so there's probably less you can do.
