Moving around some of my regular links. I may play with some other stuff too, now that this is a .php page. Maybe I should finish the “learn PHP in 24 Hours” book I still haven’t finished.

Also, what smells? I need to do some investigation, because something over here where I’m sitting smells like sour milk. Because Junior will be 5 in January, I know it’s not spit-up on my shirt.

My team is in 4th place, and that’s really only because everyone else had a bad week last week. Looking at my competition, I’d say we’re pretty evenly matched this week.

I think the base of knowlege I’m missing is to look at a player, and the real-life opponent of the play and say “well, this QB does poorly when they play team X so maybe I’ll put in my backup QB.” Either that or too much thought will put me in the toilet for my second fantasy league this year.

Okay, last night Junior and I rented Toy Story 2 for the Playstation. After our delightful experience playing Spiro 3: The Year of the Dragon all week. Spyro was the first game that Junior and I actually sat down to play together (by that I mean taking turns with the controller, and pointing each other to stuff to check out; it’s only a 1-player game).

Toy Story 2’s graphics aren’t that great…in fact I keep seeing flaws in the graphics (places where you can see things that you shouldn’t see…flickering, etc.). But the worst part (given that when you rent from Blockbuster you don’t get the little booklet) was just not being able to figure out how to do stuff. And when we think we’ve figured it out, it’s just wayyyy too hard for either of us to do it. I mean, I can’t win the race against RC. Now you don’t get a 2nd chance to race against him like you do in Spyro. He goes into an endless spin. Do you mean to tell me that I have to restart the game for a 2nd chance? Ridiculous. I’m glad I only rented it instead of buying it.

Junior and I noticed that the new Filenes (which isn’t open yet) is putting up all their Christmas decorations in anticipation of their opening. I don’t think I’m ready for that yet.

I was over at Amazon (cause I visit daily, okay? I don’t BUY anything) and found my first Christmas movie purchase-to-be:

It’s not available until November so I have time to save up… Right?

Oh man, day, what, 8 of playing Spyro 3? My poor fingers will never be the same…

I need to put a review on Amazon about how it’s a great game for the whole family, including 4-year-olds, as long as you keep the cheat code list handy so you can get 99 lives…
