Bailout fails!
I'm sure many of you have heard that the bailout failed (for the time being at least). This is the best vote that the senate has done all year! However, I sadly doubt that it's gone for good ( Read more... ) -
Gaaaaah!
So while everyone has been arguing against the $700 billion bailout, the House and Senate snuck behind everyone's back and passed a $600 billion bailout for the auto industry that also provides money to the hurricane victims in the gulf coast area. It also lifts the federal offshore drilling ban ( Read more... ) -
tvs
So last night my roommates projector died. Now we're trying to figure out what to get next. My roommate is thinking of getting another projector while I'm heavily leaning towards a plasma or LCD. Have any of y'all looked up hdtvs lately? Recommendations? On the plus side, we will likely finally have closed captioning on the main tv. I have sadly ( Read more... ) -
Video game rankings

Lunar Eclipse
I took the opportunity of the Lunar Eclipse to practice my night photography. Sadly, the eclipse was hidden behind clouds for the first half so I couldn't really get a set of sequential shots. I still got some good pictures though.http://www.flickr.com/photos/ -
PC Gaming Retardedness
So today I went out and bought Medieval 2 Total War for the PC. This may have turned out to be a mistake. So I've been kinda out of PC gaming for about 5 years now.

Hearing!
I'm up really late tonight because I can hear at a normal volume right now. I'm able to listen to music and my ear doesn't hurt or feel funny for the first time in 3 weeks. Sadly I think it will be back to ringing in the morning but for now there is very little ringing ( Read more... )
