srsly

so i got a big fat bonus this month because my week carrying the pager was absolute hell. there are a few things i’ve been wanting to do but i can only do one of them. the choices are as follows

• try for a nintendo wii on sunday
• buy a commercial light fixture to replace the DIY one on my aquarium
• save it

having a wii would be really fun. nintendo is great for games you play with other people. and it just so happens that tessa likes to play games too. fun for the whole family. on the other hand, getting a commercial light fixture for my aquarium has a couple upsides. the first is that i won’t have this ugly red light hanging on chains from the ceiling; this will also please the lady. the second is that the fixture i want has a higher light output and wider coverage; which will be very beneficial to all of my reef critters. also, i can sell my DIY fixture for about half the cost of the new fixture just because it’s a popular and impossible to find wattage of light for nano-reefers. the third option, which is probably the smartest, is also the least fun.

i think what i’m going to do is go try to get a wii sunday and if i can’t, see if i can get a discount on the light because my friend wants an identical one; maybe get a bulk discount. if i end up getting the light, i’ll be spending less money, so i can kind of do the third option as well. but then i wouldn’t get to flail around at my tv with my girlfriend. i’m not sure how i get by having to make these kind of decisions. i srsly lose sleep over stuff like this.
