music, money, games, etc.

First off, as if Weezer weren’t cool enough already, they are doing this. I love the idea of a band getting together with musician fans, and playing their hits together. If I was better at the guitar, I would totally show up and jam with them. I guess I will have to settle for jamming on the Xbox, because they have songs on Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

James recently pointed out that I had very little tread left on one of my tires, and so I figured it was about time that I take it in get a new one (it has been 30k+ miles since I got my car after all). Well, turns out, I needed two, and after getting two tires, and having them aligned and balanced, my bill came out to $640 and some change. Holy fuck balls that is a lot of money. Jebus! It has also gotten to where it costs no less than $50 to fill my tank… life is expensive, and having a car seems to have become a very MAJOR expense!

In game news, I picked up Guitar Hero On Tour after a month or so of anticipation, and overall, I think that it is an innovative use of the DS. It is a bit awkward at first to play, and it would be nicer if the top screen (which becomes your left screen when turned to play) would bend back more. Other than that, I really don’t have many complaints!! I think that it is really cool that they made it for the DS, and I am looking forward to rocking out on the go. I am seriously a GH junkie; I can’t get enough.

I think that I have decided what I want for my birthday (or really splurge and get this one which I actually think I want more, now)… now to see if James will go for it… (or at least just help me pay for it… LOL)

On a final note, I think that I am addicted to the nachos at Raging Burrito in Decatur. I will be having them for dinner tonight, and I cannot wait. Yumsicle!

    I look at Guitar Hero On Tour and I think, “That looks pretty great.”

    Then I remember my computer keyboard ravaged fingers and think instead, “That looks like a hand cramp just waiting to happen.”

    Yo, Raging Burrito might be yummy.. but the “club” ish thing it turns into at night is way strange. Like, weird layout, no lights, weird people. Good music for the most part, but just otherwise ..weird.

    Would have liked to try eating there… next time! Decatur is the shizzit.

    Enjoy that and hopefully your lens as well!

    The nachos sound yummy. If I am ever in your neighborhood, I will join you for some.

    I hope you can get what you want for your birthday! I am with you on how life is so expensive now. Chris’s battery blew in his car and we had to get a new one so now we have a car payment, again. But we got a little scion so it gets good gas mileage. There is that, at least.

    And I just had to order a new laptop. Mine takes 20 minutes to boot up, and the keys are starting to stick and it is awful so I really had to do something. Why do things have to wear out?

    I really want a DS. Someday.
