another week, samo samo.  went on a bit of a credit card binge and ordered up some posters from AllPosters.com, dvd's/games from buy.com, and games from half.com.  the posters are just for more wall-filler for my extra bedroom/study/den/computer room, i should be able to fill post of the space i've got left with the 6 i bought.  i also finally ordered coupling series 3 and the entire series of the office.  due to some pretty good price selection i also ordered tony hawk underground and prince of persia, a couple of games i'd wanted for a while but didn't wanna spring for 'em... but for like $20 each it's too good to pass up.  i also tacked on used copies of sega soccer slam and eternal darkness for decent prices as well.  for those games i was just happy to get them used, i've tried several times to auction on them on ebay but the bidding just starts to go behind what i wanted to pay for used games.
 
haven't even played GC much lately, only some soul calibur by myself recently.  lately i seem to be watching more tv, although i'm watching maybe 5% of it live at this point.  and because of my scenario right now where the tivo's in the bedroom, i'm actually watching more tv from torrents than live or from tivo.  i guess at this point i no longer really care whether i watch something off the tivo or through a torrent, the quality loss with the compressed torrented video rarely bothers me much.  i'm still trying to come up with a more automatic system where tv torrents that i want are automaticaly downloaded to my linux box and fed over the wi-fi to the HTPC at night or while i'm at work.  i'm still researching how to do it tho.
 
lately i've spent my time mostly watching:
 
big brother 5 US -- you saw my rant last time, right?
big brother 4 australia -- i'm about 2 weeks behind, gotta catch up
amazing race 5 -- best show of the week
PTI -- yes, still tivo'd religiously
MTV2 rock -- currently tivo'd daily, about to stop cuz it's starting to just recycle
reno 911! -- just as good as last season, if not better
good girls don't -- uneven, but still worth watching
the 4400 -- a little hokey, but a drama with mild sci-fi mini-series is a good change of pace
the grid -- good series, authentic feel
samurai champloo -- hoang referred me to a new fresh anime, good so far
the assistant -- looks funny, haven't started yet
i love the 90's -- typical vh1 trendytrash, but lauren turned me onto it, oddly addicting
extreme dodgeball -- get it on tivo now and then, dodgeball just rocks
airline -- a little better than last season, decent reality show [no dating :)]
 
so yeah i guess i've pretty much been spending most of my free time tv'ing instead of gc'ing, pc gaming or dvd watching.  i've been meaning to watch shrek 2, but haven't gotten to it yet.  as far as actually getting out and seeing something in the theater, i prolly should have bothered more to check out i, robot, technically it does look like my kind of flick i guess.  i'm interested in the bourne supremacy and the village for the next couple weeks, maybe i can see at least one of those.
 
well this weekend's all about moving alayna into her apartment in plano.  and thus, a new era begins...
