After events yesterday, (http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=13383399; TL;DR version: Screw driver punctured tire, went to fix, no air in spare tire/donut, tire sealer air + latex works wonders since I couldn't get tire off anyhow, ended up buying new tire), it got me thinking about things I have learned over the years of driving.

Yeah this is a Public Service Announcement:
I have been driving longer than some of you guys have been alive (20 years).. This are some of the things I have learned in that time:

1. Always check your spare tire pressure. If you don't have spare, get a latex + air sealer can (1 for cars, 2 cans for trucks (tires are bigger)).
2. Know how to change your spare. (you'd be surprised how few people do)
3. Winter driving: no, you can't drive like you do during the summer!!
4. If driving in snowy conditions, you'll want to have an emergency kit with you. This typically includes: candles, matches, blankets, boots, gloves, hat, small shovel, cardboard, chains, jumper cables.
5. Car maintenance: do it on a standard basis (btw 3-5000 miles for oil change, other levels when you get gas, brakes and transmission every 10000).
6. Windsheild washer fluid: carry a spare container.. can't tell you the # of times I have run out of 'smurf juice...

I'll add more as I think of them.

Before I go to bed...

I just watched Magnolia.

I have never seen anything like it. I was so moved, so touched, so changed by this film...to me, it is by far one of the greatest films ever made.

Every story was so mature and round. Every performance was true and heartfelt. And the script was so brilliant, so full of pain and redemption...it was a work of genius.

If you have not seen this film, please see it. Do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece. I know I love a lot of things, but this...this is truly above.

I'm so sad.

I'm watching "The Amazing Race", and they go to Barcelona Spain.

I immediately recognize one place in Barcelona, but not from the Olympics or any other touristy type things.

Instead, I'm immediately drawn to those sweet white, curvy rails by the docks that they replicated rather well in one of the later Tony Hawk games.

Alright you nubs.

Seriously, this is one of the greatest mods produced in the last couple years.

Its called sourceforts. Its been around for a bit, its simple but so deep at the same time. YOU MUST TRY THIS NOW.
Its Garry's mod + Team Fortress Classic.

Wii Problems -CRY-HAAALP!-

Yay I got a Wii! Stood in line at target this morning for a little under an hour, collected it and Zelda. Got home, set it up, played wii sports for about 30 mintues, and then went to work for 8 hours.

Got home, played around in the Mii channel and made a couple characters. Played some more Wii Sports, and then decided to give Zelda some proper attention.

Loads fine, created a profile, started playing and got to just after you get the sheep in the barn (maybe 5 minutes into the game). It's where the kids come looking for you and you are still sleeping. ----Disc Error.

Disc is brand new, not a single scratch.

Tried unplugging everything and power cycling as mentioned in another post, no change in the placement of error or type. Anyone else getting anything similar to this? Could it be a bad Wii or an actual bad disc?

Any and all ideas are welcome.

Is it generally a terrible idea to take more than 18-19 credits in a semester? My school has a 19 credit cap, but with the dean's permission, I might be able to swing 3 more. There's a course being offered that I'm really interested in but I'm already registered for 19 credits. :(

This course examines poverty as an effect of political/economic ideas and decisions and as a source of continuing political controversy. It examines contemporary attitudes toward poverty and poor people, situates students in relation to the problem, examines the demographics of wealth and poverty, surveys theoretical/political models for defining poverty and its causes, examines poverty policy in the U.S. and in comparative and international perspectives.

Just watched Superman Returns again. I still think it's an excellent movie, better than Spiderman even. But one thing about the film really bothers me and really detracts from the entire film.

Lex Luthor. Or Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Or Lex Luthor as Kevin Spacey. One of these characters is very over-the-top, very campy, and far more of a psychotic, obsessive idiot than a cold, calculating genius. And because of that, the movie's plot is very much a letdown. A poor script could be the culprit, but I think Kevin Spacey's style of acting also lent itself to such a poor villain and such a poor villainous plot. I mean, real estate? C'mon, what happened to the mastermind that we knew, running Lexcorp as a front to build machines specifically trained to kill Superman? Where's that guy? Have they said anything about another movie?

On a sidenote, I am liking DC's movies much more than Marvel's. So far, the theme is substance over style, realism over ridiculousness. Is there another DC character on the horizon? I had heard rumors of Black Panther being made into a film (which would be crazy awesome, especially with Chiwetel Ejiofor, the assassin from Serenity, as lead).

Rainbow Six (360) Axe ads WTF? Nobody mentioned this blatant product whoring yet?

I mean, it's one thing if it's different and appropriate ads, but freaking Axe OWNS Rainbow Six, and it is everywhere; in one level I even found a canister and went for it thinking it was a flashbang a Tango discarded :(

I don't even know what it is, except by finally seeing that canister (it's deodorant, right?); you'd think since they bought out every square inch of advertising space, they'd at least do it right? But no, it's just blurry JPEG-compressed chicks and the words AXE. Color me unimpressed.

Dear Axe: Your product whoring is a turn-off. I will not never, ever buy an Axe product. Whatever it may be.

Daniel Craig (the new Bond) says he wants to do a gay love scene in the next movie and is willing to do full frontal nudity for it.

Who knows how reliable this website is, but if it's true, I think that could be a very good thing. It'd be one of the first male love scenes that I know of in mainstream movies (although I'm sure it's already happened at least once or twice).

The new Parallels beta for OS X is hot stuff. First off, you can run in Coherancy mode, which makes the windows desktop vanish so all you see is the Windows programs and taskbar. Meaning, visually, it's almost a completely seemless transition between OSX and windows virtualization.

More importantly, however, Parallels now supports Boot Camp. So, you can use the same partition for both virtualization and dual booting. This way, you can run all your basic windows applications in OSX, then when you need some more "oomph" to play games, you can just reboot into pure windows.

Talk about ideal.

Wii Tennis players!

How does a head-to-head match between two human players work? The problem I am seeing is that one playing is going to be on the opposite side. How does movement from the Wiimote relate to what your character is doing? Is it reversed, so that inputting a forehand is still a forehand on your character?

I posted about a week ago about how I wasn't enjoying Oblivion, but after remaking my character and not using Obscuro's overhaul (or whatever its called), the game has become much more enjoyable.

Although, I must say, I still don't like the idea that there is nothing I work towards other than the best spells/gear. I mean the fact that I can basically go to any dungeon and finish it at even level 1 makes me kinda sad. I wish there were areas that I just cannot beat until level 20 or 40 etc.

Another thing I noticed, maybe its just me, but sneaking and backstabbing is way more fun than running into an area and bashing skulls or nuking from orbit. It adds a whole new level of gameplay to each dungeon when the player has to find the best way to take out the enemies in a room, while bashing and nuking is just the same old thing. Could just be me, though.
