    Going to help a friend build a PC. He's been saving for quite some time now so I'm excited to help him build it.

      What's in the build? Did my first one last year and it was a lot of fun building it with a friend.

        I talked him down from getting a 1500Watt PSU. He didn't need all that power! Saved him a couple bucks here and there. Over all he spent I believe $1600 for the build. Bought stuff on cyber Monday. Not a bad price for what he got.

    I meant to drop by the office of the local health services, to get a new GP - my usual doctor is ~1Mm away - but it doesn't look like they will be open on Saturday. As such, I'm probably just going to sleep in, do some cleaning, and then lounge around - I'm pretty wiped right now, both physically and because of the sleep debt I accumulated during the week.

    I'll also have to do some shopping, and I'm probably going to revise a bit more on Sunday, but beyond that I have no idea.

    I have three finals on Monday and one on Tuesday, so I am studying. I'm amazed at how relaxed and calm I feel!

    The CAD design looks good enough and I have most of the supplies, so I'm starting on building the next version of my accordion synth.

    Throwing a holiday party at my place. Anyone have good punch ideas? I made the Original Chatham Artillery Punch (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1013708-original-chatham-artillery-punch) before and, DAMN, it hits hard, but it's so good. Thinking I just may swing for the fences with it again, though it doesn't feel very holiday season to me, ya know?

    I have a work holiday party to attend. I've only been with the company for 3 weeks, so hopefully it goes well. There will be liquor and booze abound though. That should help me a lot.
