Many Thanks
Thanksgiving was yummy, as always. I’m a dark meat guy since I don’t like gravy topping my turkey white meat is too dry. I also don’t like stuffing or mashed potatoes. Corn and cranberry sauce? Yummy. My plate each serving consists of corn, cranberry sauce, dark meat and a buttered biscuit. Nums.

Boo, TV Tuner being a bitch
Tried setting up my Happauge TVR-500 yesterday and just got some really really messed up fuzzy, scrambled picture using the trial version of BeyondTV 4.5. Can’t figure out how to get the A/V connection to display either so I can play my GameCube and N64. Might have to reinstall the drivers. Bah.

And finally…
Went to Best Buy today with my friend Sasha, walked in and saw the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie trilogy box set on sale for 18 bucks. Hells yea. Snatched that sucker right up. KOWABUNGA DUDE!!
Oh yea I also topped 110mph (topped, as in hit it and immediately braked back down to 80) driving there and back on the parkway. Couldn’t resist, you know
