this is how lobbies have been with the new game. I have found the "mute" button to be my friend....

I find myself racing competitively with very few people, most of the time it is me trying to avoid getting taken out....which is fun sometimes as well, but it is rare to find someone who enjoys racing and not just doing anything that they can to win.

search terms, sony bravia ps3 game blue ray disc.

Goes on sale tomorrow.

If you read the link I gave, looks like you can even be more creative at Frys....as they are selling 100 dollar gift cards for 90 bucks...buy enough to get the ps3 tv deal, and you can save another 100 bucks by purchasing gift cards now, and then going down tomorrow to pick up the ps3 and tv.

46 inch Sony Bravia, 1080p.

yup, looks like the holiday gift of the year...I believe the Best Buy bundle is the same exact thing, with the addition of a free game and a free blue ray disc.

If this came out about a month ago, when I bought my new tv, would be a no brainer....if you are in the market for a tv, this is the deal. Call it an Obama special....another hand me out which I missed by a couple of weeks. Timing is a bitch.

i finally watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans this past weekend. wasn't too bad and more in line with the original... i have no clue why they even bothered with Evolution, as it was SO gay... lol

my Novara System arrived at today and just got confirmation it's assembled... my usual Tuesday night badminton got cancelled, so i guess i'm going to REI Arcadia after i get off work.

woo hoo. excited.

dunno... their shipping & receiving should've noticed the wrong size upon checking in the box, and re-checked with distribution BEFORE opening it out and assembling it. but, i guess they don't really care too much... sigh

ugh, i noticed more scratches on my front bumper...

i guess i'm going to give Sierra Mazda a try next time... i'm really disappointed at Alhambra Mazda. i even told them to be careful, and they still scratched up my car. some of these are so deep i couldn't polish them out.

@#$#@$!

gerry, do you ever bring the scratches to their attention when you are in there? If not, just anticipate that they will deny everything, but continue to be at them about it.

My favorite story was when I took my 8 in for an oil change and got it back with my drivers side sunvisor nearly hanging by a thread....and they denied it. The funny part was, given how low it actually hung down, I asked the guy if he realized that he didn't have such a hard time driving the car to service, as when he drove it back to me at the end of their service....it was hilarious to see him driving up holding the mirror up with his left hand trying not for me to notice what he was doing.

The service manager then came in "heroically" to insist that Mazda would take care of this as a "1 time courtesy"....I love that phrase.

My other funny moments were watching the service drive guys trying to move the car the time after they failed to install my transmission properly and the car had no reverse gear....somehow, they forgot to put that back in when they put it back together...priceless It was made even better when I realized on the freeway that there was no 6th gear either....lol. That was another one of those "1 time courtesy" moments for Mazda.

yep yep... mazda dealerships really have a long way to go... we shouldn't HAVE to own a luxury car to get basic, decent service, which means (a) they fix the car correctly and (b) they don't damage it.

how difficult is it to do just those two things?

Neptunespeed.
The owner Yoshiya can dance circles around any Mazda dealership's "Master Rotary Technician".
I get invoices for all my work, my car comes out in great shape, prices are very reasonable, and I get to stare at super sexy RX-7's every time I go by there.
It would be a bit of a drive for you though.

i just fell in love with google's navigator on my phone.
the auto correct is super fast, and when you get to your
destination it shows you a picture of where you should be.
sat. gps's should update to that feature.
