Mudder and myself WERE, as in the past tense, going to go watch the new Harry Potter movie but tickets cost 8+ USDs! That's bloody BRUTAL!

Now we're just gonna go get something to eat at Waffle House... its to simply get out of the house.

But seriously... 8 plus dollars!? :shock:

I think I am getting hungry now BUT will wait an hour or so because I wanna play a little bit of PSO before we go anywhere. :lol:

Ryaga would be correct in his assumption... actually its not so much an assumption as anyone in the "game world" generally knows at least OF Phantasy Star Online.

I've Blue Burst on PC which is AWESOME cause I used to play on my Xbox (original) but it slowly dragged on cause all that was left were modders and/or hackers. NOW I'm in a full on SEVER... ITS SEXY AND FREE!

Try it today!

I've had a busy weekend.

Took the laptop I use at my schooling exam job with me home to comment all the code I wrote since I started the job.

:cry:

Only half done.

Know what you mean Dudel, except it's even worse here - AUD 16 a ticket to see Bruno last night. Normally I'd just wait for it to come out at the torrent store, but I felt like drowning my sorrows in popcorn. It wasn't worth $16, but I still had a blast. :)

According to a converter that is 13 USDs which is about the same as it is on the Western border of the US.... give or take a buck.

...but that's STILL FREAKING RETARDED!

That is why I don't buy/pay for games anymore.

I don't torrent anything cause of network restrictions but if you bug people long enough they'll torrent something for you. :lol:

The worst part is I don't know where that $16 actually goes - about one in three trips either the movie gets chewed up by the projector, the roof collapses or the audio cuts out/lags/other. I suspect it is being run by the mice now.

Theaters essentially rent films on a weekly basis at insanely high costs. Typically the ticket prices only cover that cost and the concessions are overpriced so they can afford to run it, pay the employees, and make some profit.

Well, I think I've found the antidote to high priced movie theatres - the last drive-in around, still running $10/car movies on Tuesdays. That's right boys and girls - PER CAR.

If you can't ignore an insult, top it if you can't top it, laugh it off and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved.

Thought:

I'd like to say I am thrilled with my new tattoos! and while painful as hell (second going over on the one on my foot nearly caused a pillow to meet its end) They are a beautiful addition to my body.. I cant wait to draw up the design for the next one.. Next weekend I long for your arrival

Although I only have 6 now and being an even number will not do.. must get at least one more soon to keep my odd numbers going
