Christmas list time

Well my hope of seeing Kingdom Hearts 2 or legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess up on the store shelves for this season failed to be realized. However Games shall not be absent from my highlight this year. First is the "HP Photosmart R717 Digital Camera with HP Instant Share and 50 Free Prints from Snapfish.com" on HP.COM well this is no longer on my christmas list.. because i bought it... Today I wanted to track my package and went back to HP.COM (Academic pricing of course) and the camera was another ten percent off.. Darn them.. So i bought it again.. well not the R717 exactly but the R817. I thought that i would like the extra megapixal but after looking at the 5.1MP photos I have, I cannot imagine needing them bigger. So the R817 is supposed to be a better quality but only 5.1MP and a higher res video (which is what i think is great! The video is what sold me actually. Now I will have to return the original when it gets here.. which normally (for online stores) requires me to pay for shipping. Oh well.. It ended up I got the R817 for the price of the R717 minus the 256MB SD Card.

Second would be the games I am hoping for. Mario & Luigi: Partners in time and also Animal Crossing. Both are from NINTENDO and are for the Nintendo DS system. (I just hope I can pry the system from Aaris's hands to play the game.) If I had to choose I might say I need Mario more than Animal Crossing as I have followed the Mario RPG Series since the beginning with Square.

Mario Kart DS

I got Mario Kart DS today. It has been out for one day. Why so long to get it? Well every retailer in Sacramento were not getting their games till today as tuesday is the usual day for game releases. Also Nintendo rarely gets things out on time. The micro was not seen in most stores for about 2 weeks. As long as they are on time with the revolution I will be happy. I expect to be playing the revolution on the release day, (Mario 128 would be nice.) Anyhoo here is my friend code to add me to you're game if you want. (you should add as many codes as you can find so there will be 3 other players when you want to play.) 382311564144

Some Random Stuff

My new favorite Quote: After a shaky, underpowered start, this machine [mac] matured into a well-integrated system which was not only very powerful, but a real pleasure to use... However, the Macintosh is not the last word in interface design, and if Microsoft had been the innovative company it calls itself, it would have taken the opportunity to take a radical leap beyond the Mac, instead of producing a feeble, me-too imitation. - Douglas Adams 1995. I got a 53 words per min. at typingtest.com With a 98% accuracy (I put a period instead of a comma) Give it a try! Use 1-800-Free411, strategic advertising pays for this free service, brilliant! I think a 63.5% is my lowest test grade ever. But I guess the entire class did horrible because after the curve it came to 79%. Im hoping to make it 82% because one question I marked C (which is correct). Unfortunately it was keyed "Both A&B are correct" as C was A before the test was randomized Get it while it's hot.. Only 2.99 a year (thats where I got this domain) at smallbusiness.yahoo.com Reason #214 Why I enjoy the disneyland resort: They reversed my 966$ charge for forgetting to cancel 3 room reservations. Mom and Aunt Judi say they know I canceled, but if any 2 people have memories as bad as mine it would be them. :)
