So what prey tell is in your lovely WE package? Well, assuming that customs hasn't raped the goodies out of it, your package contains the following:
1) Logitech Wireless Music System.
I bought the damn thing off w00t during a w00t-off hoping that it would be stellar streaming music through my house, but it never really seemed to cut it. Couldn't get a signal. Maybe you'll have better luck.
2) An assortment of video games
When I was looking for some free/cheap games for you, I forgot what systems you may have specified you have in your posession. So, you now have a game for the PS2 (hopefully if you have a PS3 - it's backward compatible with this) and an XBOX game (same statement with your 360 if you have that as well)
- Genma Onimusha (XBOX) : http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/genmaonimusha/index.html?tag=result;title;0
8.7 / 10 according to GameSpot
- Starsky and Hutch (PS2) :

Unreleased - Due Dec 2007
3) A collection of movies
You get BaseKetball ( a gift from my WE last year - sorry... ), The Insider, and Made (once again, very sorry....)
4) Random game related material...
Here is stuff I either had laying around, or got for free by just asking the game stores around me.
-The Art of Assassins Creed
-Call of Duty 4 something or rather ( I wasn't really paying attention when he gave it to me....)
-A Super Mario Galaxy collectible coin
-A Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games pin
5) A Super Mario Galaxy Ornament
It doesn't count in the above category cause I purchased it for its awesomeness for you.....
6) A collection of Star Wars Weekends Collectible Pins from 2005
I got these when I went to Disney the week Episode III came out in the theaters. It was a pretty cool experience with all of the Star Wars characters there. Frankly my purchasing these was my greedy side coming out with plans of a massive eBay sale where I'd make a killing. Yeah, lots of others had the same plan, so I never sold them. Here's a set. They are damn cool if I don't say so myself....
Last but not least
7) A zip drive with zip disks.
Why? Well frankly I don't need them anymore and my WE sent me some blank (thanks, buddy!!) disks that I didn't realize were blank until I bought a new zip drive just yesterday ($5 clearanced....lol) and found that out. So I formatted all of the disks I had and put random(null) stuff on them, so check it out.
I hope this box was worth the wait and that you had a fantastic Christmas....

I have an Edmunds trade-in value printout handy. I also want them to knock the doc fee off of the sticker. I'm going to go for about $1,000 less than sticker and work up, as it's already a fantastic deal (but they don't need to know that I know that).
Any last-minute tips? I hope they can beat our credit union's interest rate.
my temperament is mostly very calm. though sometimes if I get super lucked in CS:S i'll prepare to punch the keyboard but withdraw after my brain realizes it will hurt and probably break the keyboard.
and you?

I hate big releases :(
Theirs always the lines...with the large fat men who smell curiously of cheetos, endlessly chattering away about some lost episodes of the simpsons and other nonsensical facts no one cares about. Or the 12 year old who came with his dad, who is just about as mature who wont shut up for even one second SO I CAN HEAR MYSELF THINK. The absolute worst is the maniacal person at the front of the line who's first, constantly jeering about his lot in life until you've had enough and you rip his juglar out and spit on it.
Im trying to guesstimate how much time I want to waste in line on halo 2 day...im thinking i better dress up like tupac so no ones talks to me.

But whats worrying me about this traffic, i have a brand new suzuki DR650, and got about 660kms on it. the slow moving seems to be making the engine hot, its air cooled. is this going to kill my engine? i read break-in requirements is not to lug the engine and to keep rpms moving up and down.
it doesnt mention anything about engine overheating.

You guys need to check you The Magnetic Fields and Future Bible Heroes. Two great bands from NY with the same guy in them who is a god damn genius.
Went to Copenhagen a week ago just to see The Magnetic Fields live on stage as they would probably never come to Iceland. What a band to see live.
Check out the album 69 Love Songs by TMF. :)
BTW we need some Captain N on dvd please.
