Hmm.. I've been surfin, but I haven't been updatin. Let's see, KGL's been having fun with her dragonboat racing, while Laz fell off his bike, and is going to be upgrading his computer! *temptation setting in* No.. No.. Must resist urge to buy computer parts.. Will not.. buy 550E and overclock.. Will not.. buy Dixon.. must.. Erk.
*jostling ensues*
Ahh.. *straightens collar* Feeling much better now. Now where was I?
Oh yes, I have been repeatedly tempted to upgrade my system over the past couple of months, seeing how RAM prices have gone back up and how new processors are coming out left right and centre. But.. why bother? I don't need the extra speed/power/performance ATM. All the games that I'm playing now don't need any extra oomph, and the only game which I can't play decently (Ultima: Ascension) I can leave on the back burner for the next little while.
What I might want to get actually is a.. no.. NO! Must stop thinking of this. Cannot.. resist.. urge.. forever.
Yeah. Ahem. I don't need anything ATM (but maybe a CR-RW.. Ah! Will.. stop..).
Anyway, back to the updates, Sparky has a story about how a rotten day became a very happy day just from a little thing that Tony did, while Tiffi talks about her relatives (and has some pictures up to boot!).
Oh yeah, Jax also had a good time shopping, prancing around in boxers, and ready to watch Iron Chef. Speaking of which, Iron Chef New York Battle should be premiering tomorrow night! I just also found out that IronChef.com got shut down by a cease and desist letter from FujiTV. I think that's kind of sad that someone who put time and effort to promote the show and keep people informed on what's going on was shut down. Of course, I think this happens all the time, which is sad actually. Anyway, here's another site that hopefully won't be shut down.

I know a few people taped Iron Chef, New York Battle. A certain former CTRL-A secretary being one of them. I was going to tape it, but I got distracted by other stuff.
I'd tell you what happened, but I'd hate to spoil it. I was a little disappointed that they didn't drag Chen Kenichi to New York as well. I like him. :)

I got AC to record the special for me, but I have yet to see it... seems to have been a good show based on what I'm hearing (arghh, not you too, FlyingS!)... *runs around in anticipation*

What'd'ya mean, me too? I'm the one who forced half of the CTRL-A people to watch Iron Chef in the first place. :)
The New York thing was good, but I did have some problems with it. Bits of the actual battle it looked like a well-meaning parent filming a kid's school play. That's a little harsh, but... well, you'll see what I mean.
