    Brain Dump

    Not much has been going on lately, just day to day living. But, there are things I've thought about posting that I never got around to actually talking about. Let's see if I can remember. * * * * There's a radio station in Austin called BobFM.

The closest thing to wine I ever drink are wine coolers, and they definitely don't have a cork.…

    DS vs DSLite

    So got a DSLite yesterday, and I got a chance to play with it today. I used Brain Age as my test game, because I didn't want to risk my Animal Crossing town in a different DS. It'd probably be ok, as I wasn't planning on going online, but I wasn't sure so it wasn't worth the risk. First impressions: Ooooohshiny! The outside has an acrylic or something casing over the case – the color won't rub off like it's doing on my 1st gen DS, but also it takes smudges and fingerprints as bad as the new ipods. Also,…
