  • $2.00+

    No, I’m not talking about Fraunch Bread, Fraunch Dressing… Maybe it happened yesterday and I just didn’t see it. I was already ticked that it cost me $19.00 fuggin dollars for 10.5 gallons of gas on Monday.

    Today, I saw for the first time in my life, gas prices at or above $2.00 dollars. In short, this blowz. I hear it’s supposed to be $3.00 by the end of the year…

  • Undead Lobsters

    Via Jim Cheng.

    You can tell I’m so frikin’ excited for Dawn of the Dead this Friday. Her majesty is jetting for up north, so I’ll be alone this weekend. Plan A is to defend my house from the undead. Plan B is to watch the movie Friday night, and then go to school Saturday. I watched Patton last night since I found my DVD adapter for my XBox, so naturally, I’m so amped up about battling for ones life.

    In the meantime, fellow developer’s fuel my desire by sending me articles like this. I grew up on seafood, but I still think this sounds a little unhumane. The robotic lobster reference, however, reminds me of that floating barrel submarine invented by gnomes from D&D. I always hated how the PC’s drove it backwards to go faster.

  • Is TV losing out to video games?

    Via Erik Bianchi.

    Is TV losing out to video games?

    For me? Heck yeah. TV is boring (‘cept for The History channel and Sci Fi at odd times + The Daily Show on Comedy Central). Even then, my watch time is limited to 30 minutes or less. To me, everything else is uninteresting, excluding news events that differ from the norm, and documentaries on PBS (both of which are extermely rare).

    Her majesty, however, leaves the tube on 24×7. She doesn’t really watch it all the time, though, as it’s really just background noise.

    Mainly, it’s used for guests, my XBox, Gamecube, and Playstation 2 (if I ever find the the poor guy…).
