Its a good month to be a nerd.
Now, you'd think after a lot of my postings of political wrong-doings, left wing tongue and check videos, etc; that I would be gladly posting about the glorious change over in D.C.
Honestly, I don't care all that much. I just enjoy the humor of the system.
There was an expected end to an era this election though. After 43 years, Dan Rather was going to miss reporting on an election. I say expected, because John Stewart and Steven Colbert had a special "expert" on their 1 hour combined special "Midterm Midtacular"; Mr. Rather. Leaving his streak at 44 years unbroken.
What I'm more excited about is how great this month has turned out to be a nerd. Ninento's Wii and Sony's Playstation 3 are due out this month. I'm not actually planning on getting either, but hey, I like the eye candy. On top of that the Xbox 360 finally has what people deem a "killer app" (this basically means a game SO good that you're willing to dish out the $399 for the xbox AND $59.99 for the game, just to play the game).
Lucky for me I already have a xbox 360. Unlucky for me I don't have said game (Gears of War). Well, either way, its still good to be a nerd; I'm just a nerd on a budget (note the lack of THAT word in the title).. /sigh/ But it does look that good. Nearly every review site has the game either perfect (100/100 at 1up) or near perfect. I'll let you know more when I find 60 bucks.
Here's two shots from the game (one outdoor, one a cave level). Yes its a "shooter" game, but also (supposedly) combines in a lot of "Think and Sneak".
Outdoor
Cave
Of course, even with all these great new games and systems, if you ask nearly any of my friends "how's THE game?", its World of Warcraft you're talking about; and I've managed to get lucky enough to get into the testing group for the NEW part of THE game.
Exciting times to be a nerd. Good thing I'm a nerd.

Photo Monday (11/6)
Two weeks in a row. We'll see if I can keep this up. Next Monday might be a hair late, as I think we're heading up to the cabin.
As always, fun captions. Or at least I think they are.

Link Friday!
Sorry most of these links are that "funny". I really like to mix in a good chunk of humor, but Viacom made Youtube (now owned by Google now) pull down all the Comedy Central videos (which include Daily Show, Colbert Report and others I like to show).
So, for this week. Serious stories!
Okay, so maybe not *all* seriously. Mom - I found your long lost great aunt:
100, driving, and... still working.
Sad news:
Bob Barker retires. Spay and Neuter your pets!
One for you dad:
Pictures of the highest elevation tornado ever recorded
And one for everyone who drives to work - it could be worse:
In english russia, traffic slow you
Video Time!
Vote Vernon Robinson for Congress (yes, this is a real add (North Carolina) just simply ... amazing). /sigh
Keith Olbermann on Michael J. Fox vs Rush Limbaugh
Katie Couric interviewing Fox after Limbaugh. Fox shows his class
>
Olberman on how the GOP completely spun John Kerry's comments

Adjusting
From having a slew more bills to pay, to remember to buy milk and bread on the way home (that's been a failing attempt the last two days), I'm definitely still in the adjustment period with the new house. Softball season is officially over, so my left knee is rejoicing in that fact (its the one that always takes the brunt of me sliding on too-hard-to-really-be-dirt infields we play on). On top of that volleyball will be over Thursday after next. I'll finally be able to put on my winter fat at a respectable rate.
As you saw in the pictures on Monday we had a wonderful Halloween party last Saturday. I'm not sure who won as best costume, but Melissa and Jason are word-find queen and king (The liquor guarding scarecrow and the 80s girl).
Well, going to leave this short and sweet again; though check back this Friday, I'm sitting on a couple good links.
