Halo is... simply adictive

I've been playing Halo 3 matchmaking on xbox live for the past 2 weeks. The thing is really addictive. I still suck at the game but it so funny to tagteam to kill the opposite team. I wonder if my fingers (and my brain) will ever be fast/precise enough to become a decent player in this kind of games :)

Saving bucks by keeping your heater warm

When I first heard the suggestion of putting a blanket around my heater I thought: what??!!! After painfully findind that indeed our apartment water heater is an electric one (I know, I should have noticed it before duhh! ) and receiving 100+ dollars bills each month for electricity I decided to dig into the blanket suggestion.

Guitar Hero III...tomorrow!!

Tomorrow I'll finally get my hands on a copy of Guitar Hero III with the wireless guitar. I had to pay an undisclosed amount of money for it on ebay... hope it is worth the deal; if not I'll have to seek revenge from the friends that introduced me to the addiction (GH2). On a side note... We (the CRM Team) got our new release out the door last friday :) ...as a reward we will have a couple of extra days of vacations [Insert video of Borat saying: "Nice"]
