Well par for the course...but my returned monitor is stuck in package purgatory in a Memphis post office ( Read more... )

Today is my birthday. In one more year I will be 30. This morning I got my driver's license renewed. I haven't cut my hair in a while and when I looked at the picture I was like 'man I really AM going bald.' But...whatever. Captain Picard here I come ( Read more... )

I would just like take this time to thank the psycho astronaut for finally knocking the 'Bostonians shitting their pants over lite brite' story out of the news once and for all.

I forgot to mention: while I'm on the subject of video games, I beat Resident Evil 4 the other day. Finally ( Read more... )

I played Guitar Hero 2 for the first time yesterday. I now understand what all the fuss is about.

I thought that, maybe...maybe...the fact that I actually play guitar might help me. I was pretty much wrong. It did help in one aspect I suppose: I was able to play the fast riffs with the 'hammer ons' pretty easily whereas my non-guitar playing ( Read more... )
