Since that last entry is so long I wanted to relink to the entry before that for the two Boston fans who were sitting beside us at the game last night.
Also to link to a photo of me and Auntie Carol at the game....

Well, I am moved, Saturday I had a few guys help me finish loading up Dave's trailer. We took everything from the old place and brought it to the new place, got everything unloaded, and that's how most of it sits! I have quite a bit unpacked, but no where near all of it.
Last night I went bowling again with the team, looks like I'm going to be bowling once a month right now. I started out doing well, darn well actually, but my usual self started over analyzing my bowling and I slowly started doing worse. Halfway through the second game I was cleaning my ball of prior to rolling it, my usual cleaning method is to spin the ball with my towl in my left handing holding the ball as it spins. Well, last night I left my right ring finger in the ball as it spun, not a very good sound was heard when I did that! I heard a bit of ripping, then the pain started. The pain didn't last too long, I bowled my two shots and then went and got some ice.
The pain kind of came and went throughout the night.This morning I can see the pain! The last joint in that finger is swollen up, and hard to bend. What I managed to do when spinning the ball was take the tip of the finger and twist/tweak it around that joint. I'll see how it feels, perhaps a trip to the doctor will be in order, but I'll try not...

I finished reading Dale Brown's Plan of Attack last night, figured I would check to see if there was any news on his web site about a new book.
Instead I find a link to this game, Act of War Direct Action, by Atari. I'll definitely have to check this one out a bit more later today!
Something found on Atari's Forums
“It does initially sound a bit incongruous, doesn't it? Here's how it all went down, and you'll be seeing more articles about this in the press I'm sure. (In fact, there's an excellent article in the January PC Gamer magazine.) Eugen realized that they were programmers, not storywriters. So instead of coming up with some plot themselves, they came to us (Atari) and we hooked them up with technothriller author Dale Brown. We licensed the Act of War property to Dale and contracted with him to create a story based in this world we had created. Dale's books are known for having a geopolitical spin to them, countries of the world clashing, clandestine organizations working together, that sort of thing. This is no exception, and the result is a pretty darn good plot for a computer game, with a focus on US...
Wow, it looks like there's a new Star Wars Episode III 3 trailer out. The traffic over on solo2.org ROCKETED through the roof on Saturday! Google adsense $$ is pouring in! Alright, not really all that much, but a noticable difference!
Here's the StarWars.com link for the trailer.

So last night was the big Contender Finale.
I must say I was highly dissappointed. Technically it was a horrible production, camera views sucked during the fights, Sly was an damn idiot “I want a rematch. I want to see a rematch” before the damn fight even started, then every two minutes throughout the match. There were multiple times when the sound was off, microphones off when they should have been on, on when they should have been off.
The fights weren't very good either. Jesse got slaughtered by Gomez. I don't know why, Jesse has a hell of a punch, I'm not a boxing expert by any means, but it looked like he really wanted to land his devastating uppercut and was unable to do so, over and over again. Congrats to Gomez, he faught a good fight.
The main bought, between Peter Manfredo Jr. and Sergio Mora was just as dissappointing. Manfredo looked to tire out after about the first round. He spent the next 6 rounds hugging Mora with his head down the whole time. Mora even got the point where he was talking shit to Mandredo's family in the corner, very low class of him if I must add.
The fights in the past episodes were much better produced, which I guess comes with the ability to cut and edit them, as they weren't shown live. The effects that Burnett and his team were able to convey with the heavy punches in slow motion in the past episodes made for much more entertaining fights.
Over all, the show was fun, I watched about half of the season. Up until the last episode last night I thought very highly of it all. Last night though was very dissapointing. I guess it shows why boxxing isn't all that interesting straight out of the...
I'm headed to Salina Kansas today for Event #3 in the R&S/SPS Solo Midwestern Division Solo Series, or whatever the series is called. I'm a sponsor, I guess I should know!

So, I guess being a small market, stuck in the midwest, it means that the Cardinals get the worst game times!
The first game in the Division Series in Tuesday at Noon, and the 2nd game is Thursday at 3pm. Not great times for working stiffs. I have tickets to both games, and am planning on going to the Tuesday game. We'll see about Thursday, I may sell the tickets to a...

Cnet has an article about the Xbox360 sale that CircuitCity.com had on Friday. Let's just say that I know someone who got one after the "three" hour mark. It has a tracking number, and we'll see if it ships tomorrow or not!
http://news.com.com/Xbox+360+mania+slams+CircuitCity.com/2100-1043_3-5961443.html
Minutes after Microsoft's next-generation game console went on sale Friday afternoon at CircuitCity.com, the site was hobbled by a deluge of traffic.
A representative for the online counterpart to electronics retailer Circuit City said the company's site saw a "tremendous" traffic spike at 2 p.m. ET, when the company began taking Internet orders for the eagerly awaited Xbox. (Specific traffic numbers were not immediately available from Comscore, which tracks Web use.) Microsoft has predicted it will sell 3 million consoles within the first three months following the Xbox 360's release.
Other retailers had taken preorders for the Xbox, but Circuit City was the only online store selling the consoles Friday. Previous Next "The Web (store) did become slow for the majority of customers," acknowledged Amanda Tate, a Circuit City spokeswoman. She declined to specify how many Xboxes were sold or how many the company made available through its Web site.
CircuitCity.com sold out of its available consoles in less than three hours, Tate said.
The Xbox goes on sale at brick-and-mortar stores at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Those customers who purchased a console from Circuit City's site will have to pay extra for shipping to receive the machine by Tuesday, Tate said.
Shoppers will likely be camping out in front of their local electronics stores and long lines are expected....
