Thats the place! Wow, what a small world.

Where are you in the US (if you don't mind me asking)? Tennessee, I work in Memphis but I live about 40 miles north of there. I love Tennessee. Was stationed in Millington ~91 for "A" school and met some of the nicest people anywhere. Good times on Beale street too. I remember this one bar right outside the base where every Wednesday was "All you can drink night" for $7.00, yes seven dollars. Crazy bastages.

I've noticed a lot of you Europeans watch your electrical consumption closely, are electric bills high over there? Its something I almost never consider. I mean, Ill turn off lights and stuff that nobody is using but my PC runs 24/7 and we frequently have three TV's on (two of which are large). *consumes the worlds resources*

Super 8, better than I expected. Fun popcorn monster flick.

Speaking of which, LCD TV prices have really dropped here of late. A few weeks ago I bought myself a 42" Visio for something like $479.

Who ever said you would? As a matter of fact, games have barely increased in price over their history. What was once $49.99 is now what, $59.99? I've lost track of the amount of times I've seen publishers and developers make that claim. So you are saying that you have read that were it not for piracy, prices would have somehow decreased since the 90's / early 2000's? Weird.

Took my daughter to the optometrist yesterday. Seems I successfully passed down my nearsightedness. She looks adorable in her glasses but of course she mortified by what everyone will think, lol.

In your mind, "smoking a joint with your mates" is the same as forcibly taking anothers property and "giving it away" to someone? Wow, way to depart from reality. While examining countries, you may want to look inward on what makes you think that way.

"Occupy activists descend on Brooklyn on first day of campaign to move homeless people into buildings foreclosed by US banks" Just a few corrections for you there Gfted1: 'they' are moving homeless people (not themselves) into empty foreclosed homes. Whether you agree with it or not, you're clearly trying to spin it negatively. Yes, because its their property to seize and give away. Whether they give it to homeless or retarded nuns, its their movement performing illegal actions. Everyone involved should have been pepper sprayed and hauled to jail.

Oh look, now the Occupy crowd are giving themselves homes. I gotta admit, its not a bad racket. I should give myself a house then go to the bank and give myself a few million dollars. But here I sit, working like a chump.

I think we should put landmines all over the Somali ocean.

Spent the weekend hanging Christmas lights on the house, setting up the tree and setting out all of my wifes chachkies.

I still write it in military format: 2 Dec 11.

Like, you got mugged in the street on the way home? Anyway, sorry to hear that.

Become a British spy.

Playing WoW and Tuesday the 4.3 patch dropped which included three new instances and two new raids, one of which is yet to be implemented. Im already disappointed. Granted, Im overgeared, but all the new content is super easy. In less ~1.5 hours, in a pick up group, we cleared all three new instances. Then, to make matters worse, WoW created a new system called Looking For Raid where random people can que and form a 25 man raid. Since these raids are composed of random people they decided to make the difficult level for these type groups lower than a regular 25 man raid composed of non-random players. Apparently this difficulty level is set to "faceroll" because I jumped in a random group last night and we one-shot every single boss. To those that dont raid/MMO, thats almost impossible to do with 25 random scrubs in a brand new raid thats only been out two days.

I found how Watson was portrayed in the most recent movie with Robert Downy Jr. to be an excellent rendition. Of course, Ive never read even one of the book so I dont really know which portrayal is accurate. Im pretty stoked to see the second movie when it comes out soon.

What is this **** sandwich you speak of, the austerity measures the UK is taking?

I made it to the scene where they are flying to Vegas then I punched myself in the face and left.

Dammit! I wish you would have posted this yesterday before I bought the game.

Bridesmaids. For some reason I thought this was supposed to be hysterical, the female Hangover if you will. I saw the "unedited" version was playing on on pay-per-view and decided to sit down with my wife for 130 minutes of rib splitting funny stuff. It was so bad about 1:45 into the movie I couldnt take no more and had to leave the room. Terrible, simply terrible. Not funny in the least.

What space travel really needs is a quantum leap in engine technology. Otherwise everything is too far and too expensive. Sure, go build a dome on Mars. WooHoo, then what?

Happy Thanksgiving all. Off to the in-laws for good company, eats and football.
