How are they so far? I've been told you can get a starter kit for as low as $50. I'm gonna try to quit again, but this time I can't afford the Chantix. However, the health department here is offering a free quit-smoking program that gives you the patches. I've heard that some people are also using the e-cigs because they take away the mind's need to hold one and "smoke" it.

havent gotten them yet, but yeah, patches and gum and all that shit never worked for me, its not even about the holding it and smoking it thing, its just not the same thing, at all. patches and gum feels more like drinking coffee than smoking a cigarette. i could see them working for someone who dips, but not someone who smokes

My cx400 Sennheisers, which I think were recommended in this thread somewhere, arrived. They're not bad for cheapy earbuds! Lots of bass. Sick bass, in fact.

Best Buy is having a $10 Expendables BluRay sale. Took advantage of that.

All of these were $10 each:

Also, the Gladiator BluRay transfer has been FIXED. Here's how to spot the fixed version, which is in stores now.

The ORIGINAL SHITTY TRANSFER has "2-Disc Set" over the Paramount logo on the back of the case:

The FIXED TRANSFER does not have anything over the Paramount logo:

Went to Fry's and ended up picking up a new desk.

I think I need to re-arrange my entire room around, since right now with the way the desk is placed, I've created a small cubicle of sorts. But it would take so much work to unhook all the consoles and PC equipment to do that...

good movie.

I think the first movie actually works besides the high contrast between old/new footage.
The 2nd movie is ^^; sooooo bad.
The 3rd movie is not much a movie and more just HEY REWATCH YOUR FAVORITE ZETA ENDING FIGHTS IN GLORIOUS NEW ANIMATION, which is a-ok with me.

Just bought a 500gb Hybrid 2.5" Seagate Momentus XT drive for my lappy

This thing sounds amazing, according to this and CNets review its a near match to SSDs with general tasks as it uses 4gb of onboard NAND flash memory and an 'adaptive memory' algorithm to que your most used fiiles so you access them super quick, best thing is the algorithm is embedded no drivers needed hence it'll work just as well if your OS doesn't support TRIM. Cost me $200 ~5th of the price of a 256gb SSD.
