I’ve had 1 cigarette in the past 5 weeks. Impressive, no? Most of my addiction (Yea. I said it.) stems from long drives and goin’ out on the town. I haven’t been out out in a while, but don’t worry. It’s a good thing. I have other things to [...]

By the irresistible suggestive powers of daytime cable tv, I decided to try it out. I stopped by a McMarket (McDonalds/Boston Market under one roof) and ordered the sirloin with [...]

Alice (and everyone else) has been looking for a laptop for school. My first recommendation? Apple’s iBook / pBook of course. But what if the college provides specialized free PC ONLY software that’s required for certain courses? Sure, Virtual PC could be the trick, but there may be some overall performance [...]

Now we’re finally getting somewhere. Naruto 139 was actually decent! We’re cutting through the fluff and gettin’ down to some serious business. *Golf clap, golf clap*

The old man, Naruto and Sakura finally get to Orochimaru’s hideout. This isn’t much, but at least they’re there. Jiraiya summons Gamakichi to scout Big [...]

I forgot I bought an xbox to usb adapter from Lik-Sang a while back to satisfy my MAME needs. I don’t care what everyone else says. I’m in love with the ‘Controller S‘. The shape is perfect for my (large baby, LARGE) hands, it looks slick (Especially the limited edition Halo green [...]

From Gizmodo. Want want want. That’s all I ever do. But the Japan-only USB Famicon Controller makes it so easy to geek out and lust after. It’s perfect for those Nintendo / Famicom / Gameboy / Gameboy Advance emulators that you’ve played so much over the years. There are extra [...]

On a total act of spontaneity, I just bought the one thing that will keep this summer going on and on and on and on and on and on… A portable propane grill! NO REGRETS! Impulse buying @ it’s best. This little darlin’ has been in my Amazon.com cart for about [...]

I love lazy Sundays. Made some french toast this morning with soymilk instead of the regular 2% with a rich cinnamon butter sauce and sliced bananas with vanilla yogurt. I had way too much so I’m about to pass out… But! I managed to squeeze three new ringtones today. All [...]
