Knocked Up. Thought it would be a "chick flick" but was pleasantly surprised. Many parts were down right hilarious and I liked the story.

Girl Commits Suicide Over Internet Prank
I just think her parents were (naturally) painting a much rosier picture of her life prior to her suicide. I also cant understand how an even moderately depressed person can be rapidly pushed to suicide because a person she never met "didn't know if he wanted to be friends because he heard she wasn't nice to her friends". As an aside, whats everyones views on suicide? Mortal sin? Cowards way out? While I find it tragic and somewhat selfish I dont have a moral problem with it. Hell, I could even see myself eating a bullet if something horrendous happened like my daughter getting snatched up and killed. Not sure I could live with that guilt.

Tragic but smells fishy. How do you go from happy to hanging in a closet in under 48 hours?

TV: Heroes
+1 Excellent episode. I really liked seeing the back stories that filled in a lot of "wtf" moments for me.

Caught Bachelor Party last night on HBO. Still funny after all these years. For some reason it slays me every time they show the donkey doing the lines of coke.

TV: Heroes
Yeah, why hasnt he aged? I wonder if that partifular power suspends you at whatever age you were when it manifested. Like Claire may always look like a teenager? Agree in the good episode.

What you did today, part gazillion
Hitting animals in my car always makes me feel like poo, thankfully its been pretty rare. Ive hit exactly three things, 1) a bird that didnt fly out of the way fast enough. 2) A turtle in the middle of the road I thought I could avoid by repositioning my car to let it go down the center. 3) A cat that shot out of some bushes. Actually, the cat hit me on the side of the car and in my side view mirror I saw it roll away, get up and tear off back into the bushes. EDIT: Oh, and I almost hit a deer once. Not just any deer but what seemed like the father of all deers, standing all gigantic in the middle of the road, smirking and unmoving as I locked up the tires and skidded past him in the wrong lane. Stupid giant deer.

I believe Japan is in fact currently experiencing a negative population growth. Even going so far as to offer cash insentives to women to have more children.

Kensei. After last nights episode I think her father was Ivan. His daughter supposedly died (a cover to protect her from the "company") yet she seems to work for somebody in the company whos interested in getting their hands on Peter.

^What led you to that conclusion? Peters story arc is the most interesting to me this season although Sylar is so deliciously evil its a close second. Loved what he said to the brother at the end.

Upgrading my new laptop
Take a look at the second link I posted. It IS possible to upgrade my laptop's RAM. However, I don't know if doing so will damage my computer in one way or another (I am particularly worried about overheating issues). I dont know if you misunderstood mkreku but GPU = graphics processing unit = video card. Your video card would be hard/impossible to upgrade. Unless I misunderstood you.

You're joining the reseves or something right? You dont have to go to boot camp for that? The training isnt every day but split into sessions spaced here and there?

Wow. I guess if I ever find my way out there again Kelverin is buying the drinks.

How the hell do they come up with 1 BILLION dollars worth of damages? Every single home would have to average $666,666 in value. While I know San Diego is expensive I seriously doubt that number.
