Time

Ummm have I told everyone yet that the party is "starting" at 6pm on Saturday? Well ... if not ... it starts at 6pm!!! :P

RSVP!

Attention all MO peeps!!! Could you please RSVP by this Saturday (the 19th) for the party that I'm having on Saturday, July 26th? I need to have an idea of how many people will be coming for food and planning purposes. Details on the theme, exact time, and dress will be announced later this week. You can just RSVP to me via myspace or facebook message, phone, OR you can even leave me a comment right here on this blog. :P Thanks!

Ohhhhhh Joy.

Saw 'Wall-E' last weekend and thought it was WAY cute, of course! It totally made me want to own my own little robot ... which ... would be WAY cool. Especially a cute one. Like Wall-e.

Am HIGHLY annoyed at the moment because the digital camera I ordered is NOT going to make it here in time before I leave for Missouri, like it should have. I bought it (on e-Bay,) on June 29th. My payment process through PayPal was complete by July 2nd, and for some asinine reason, the seller decided to wait OVER a week after he received my payment to ship it. I mean, half the reason I ordered the camera when I did was so that I could have it for my trip home! *&^$#@! Now it will arrive when I'm out of the state. Great.

I'm super tired for some reason and my head hurts.

I ordered a ticket to go see Chef Duff (from Food Network's show Ace of Cakes) in August so that'll be loads of fun, plus other celebrity chefs will be there and there will be tons of food and wine tasting. Yipeeee!

I want a Mikes Hard Lemonade right now, in the lime flavor.

I have too much to get done this weekend.

And ... blah.

Playstation 3

Today, I finally found and bought an 80 Gigabyte Playstation 3 with a 3 year warranty for about the same amount of money as many people spend on one month's rent in many parts of the country. So, why am I happy?

I've been looking for this specific bundle since June 12th. I've been searching online, making calls to local stores, and driving from store to store. I was almost at the point of considering driving to Long Beach just for one of these.

So, what makes one of these so precious? This specific Playstation bundle is the first to include the new Dual-Shock Six-Axis game-pad, includes a voucher for a free online game, brings back backward compatibility for Playstation 1 and 2 games (a feature not available on other PS3 models), includes slots for memory cards and USB devices (another feature oddly missing from other models), supports 1080p High Definition displays, and includes Metal Gear Solid 4!

Most of the Playstations available right now either include no video games or include bad ones like Spiderman 3, Motorstorm, or Fight Night. This one includes the most anticipated game of the year! So, while the model I bought costs one-hundred more than the other model in stores, the new game-pad and included game in my bundle add up to the cost difference - even without considering the superiority of the actual Playstation model.

Anyhow, I'm justifying my purchase by telling myself that for the first time in three years I wont be paying two grand in registration fees to take classes this coming fall. Yes, I think I will keep telling myself this as I go to bed, especially since I still need to buy one more game-pad for two player games, a PS2 memory card adapter, and an HDMI cable that can handle 1080p.

Oh yes! And, the PS3 doubles as a Blu-ray Disc player.

And, this morning at 8:00 am, new software that allows for application installations will be released for the iPhone!

What a glorious week. I would write a review on Rambo and provide the background on the Metal Gear Solid series, but alas, it's 3:50 in the morning and I am (gasp) tired.
