I'm driving to Anaheim today so we can go to Disneyland tomorrow! The main purpose of our trip is to ride Star Tours before it's gone forever, so it's a little bittersweet, but still, Disneyland!
Star Tours is still around? Did they update it at all over the years or is it still full of cheesy OT goodness?
Untouched since its release in 1987. Which is why George Lucas decided it must be destroyed and replaced with prequel shit. Glad I got to experience it one (or three) last times!
I saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the FIRST time tonight... what an AMAZING MOVIE.
Now I understand why people were outraged when I told them I had never seen it before. Now I'm outraged I never saw it before tonight as well! It just kept getting better and better

You're only just getting to that now?
Please tell me that you've seen Army of Darkness and/or Evil Dead 2 already!
Also Return of the Living Dead with the assumption of wathing Night of the Living Dead beforehand.
Otherwise your zombie survival knowledge will be sorely lacking.
I finally spent some of my blood money last week. And I just got "Zelda: Spirit Tracks", "MegaMan Zero Collection", and "Chrono Trigger DS" in the mail today.
When I get sunburns I go all the way-- last two sunburns I had I was completely red. Greg's reaction was "OH MY GOD THAT IS GOING TO SUCK SO MUCH TOMORROW!"
Thing is, I have a dark enough complexion that sunburns don't hurt (they feel really warm at the worst) and they only last a day before turning tan.
I got a sunburn a few days ago, shit was awesome. This is the most tan I've been in years.
REAL REASON I'M POSTING: I moved into a house today!! Hurrah. It's actually a duplex... but it's (kind of) a step up from an apartment!! Except that our apartment was freaking amazing... and this place is cheap. But still! Hard day of moving, and now it's all about unpacking
I didn't died!
I was driving in the left lane on a 2 lane highway with a full shoulder on the right and only about a 3 foot shoulder on the left then a 45 degree grassy slope down. This guy was in the right lane next to me, almost perfectly lined up, like front bumper equal to front bumper. All of a sudden, he decides he wants to come into my lane, all the way in my lane. So, The fucker ran me off the road. I had to swerve to avoid him, I hit the slope and the back of my car started to slide down, making me turn and I ended up spinning across the road until I was in the right lane facing traffic. I had to slap it in reverse and slam on the gas and shoot off onto the shoulder to avoid being hit. My car seems ok so I made it to Toys R Us and exchanged my DS Lite for one that actually works. It was past their stupid 45 day exchange cut-off but the manager did it for me anyway. What a nice guy.
2 lanes in each direction with a large median which at this point was a little valley. There was a ton of traffic, so we were driving side by side.
EDIT: I made a picture. My path is black, asshole's path is red, other guy I dodged's path is blue. (I only spun 180 degrees. I added the swirlies for dramatic effect)
I know! It had a bad B button. You had to hold it for a second before it registered. I didn't notice until after 45 days because Megaman was the first game I played that needed it. The game is way easier now that I can jump and shoot at the same time.
I had a guy run me off the road like that before, but in my case there was a full shoulder for me to move into, so nothing crazy happened other than me getting pissed at someone for not looking before switching lanes like an asshat.
The successful DS Lite exchange tells me there is still good in this world.
One of my coworkers was in the US last week for business. I had him pick me up a copy. So when I got to work, I found he had already come by and left a copy on my desk.
Aww, I was hoping your boss was like "This game is so awesome I'm going to buy all my employees a copy." Ah well, still got it either way I guess, unlike some other people I know.
BACKSTORY!: HP sucks ass, and their hardware and software is glitchy as hell, and their computers only barely work with Windows-DIGRESSING. The main thing is that my power supply died, so I got a new one, which of course is all fucked up.
The chargers HP sells (I got mine at Best Buy) aren't the same design as the one they shipped with the computer, in that they give a slightly lower voltage. The weird design thing being that the voltage sensors are in the end of the cable, under the gold covering in the pin. The charger sends the voltage information to the to the computer, which realizing it's getting a lower charge than normal, and assumes it's not charging. Except it is, so boom, CPU drain as it tries to figure out why the fuck it was built like so many piles of human waste.
FIX!: Get a screwdriver and scrape out the voltage sensors. They're on the pin in the charger, they're basically in your computer when you plug it in. Problem, they're small, and under the conductive gold layer on the pin. Problem is nothing though, because the advantage of a gold layer on the pin is that it ionizes, really easily. Scrape some of it off, destroy the voltage sensors underneath, and plug it back in. The metal underneath arcs and ionized the gold layer, which is pulled back to the pin by the charge. Gold layer fixed, voltage sensors destroyed, CPU drain ANNIHILATED.

I took video to remember it by.

About friggin' time.
OH!!! 1987, well in that case it's pretty epic considering the technology I guess.

Yeah, you can go to hell.
Basically how I felt when I found out.

I'm having a hard time picturing this. You were trying to pass this guy? Or was it a 4 lane highway with 2 lanes for each direction?
EDIT: I made a picture. My path is black, asshole's path is red, other guy I dodged's path is blue. (I only spun 180 degrees. I added the swirlies for dramatic effect)
Sounds like somebody needs to track down and kneecap the tool that ran you off the road though.
It should not stop with a kneecap.

Oh, and I'm glad you didn't die. Way to think on your feet, Adam!
