First entry on my new laptop

So today, I got started with writing in my new laptop. I wanted to update a few things to make it very useful first. I got up today around 11am because it's usually much warmer by then, but it wasn't warmer today. It was still actually very cold. That's how it ended up today too. I thought I was going to meet up with a friend today, but that didn't end up happening. So what I did go and do was go for a walk to Yamada Denki. I needed to get some stuff for my new laptop like a USB bus port since my USB ports on the new laptop aren't positioned in a very good place. I only have two of them too, so I wanted to get more so I could add a lot more things to my laptop to make it more productive. I was looking for a new mouse too, but I didn't get one because they didn't have any that were blue tooth compatible. They had a lot of wireless ones though and they caught my attention, but still nothing that I would have bought. I need to do some more researching to find a good one for this laptop. I also got a new power cord with 7 outlets since the ones that I have now, only have 6 outlets. The new one that I have also has three prongs which is very unusual in Japan since everything here only uses 2 prongs. I had lunch today at Yoshinoya since there's one nearby. I didn't get what I usually get and got something that I only got at the beginning of my stay in Japan. It tasted great since it was nice and warm when it was freezing cold outside. I talked to some people today and found the installation information for my web cam on line. That was very convenient since I don't have to ask my family to bring it when they come here in a few weeks. I need to work on a schedule for when they come too. That will probably be next on the agenda after I finish up updating all the files for this computer and moving all the files from my laptop to my external hard drive. I almost have everything moved over and I'll have a lot more space for other junk on my laptop that I'm going to give to my younger sister. Things are moving along for me quite smoothly except for the getting a girlfriend part. That needs more work and more attention for me. I don't think that anything will happen for me in the near or even distant future. I just don't have the opportunities like I did before and then again, I'm not out there making it happen for myself like I used to do too. I'll be doing other stuff with upgrades soon, but first I wanted to get my computer up and going.
