Well, what I brought the car in for ended up not so bad, but other stuff was found to the tune of $750. I am determined not to be grumpy.

@HMXCasey Friend of mine has already had 2 RB2 Strats go bad; EA refuses to fix them. Is there anything HMX can do to help?

@kenkogler I think you need to email Harmonix/EA about your guitars. Something about that ain’t right.

@jwhdavison Has the quality kept up even past the first few acts? I haven’t played MGS4 myself yet. I think my PS3 is lonely.

As a point of reference, the Honda dealer in Bowling Green didn’t even charge me labor last time I had something fixed. None at all.

Ford dealer just charged me $125 non-refundable, non-applicable-to-repair just to look at my car. I wonder why people don’t buy domestic?

Just realized that I called my iPod touch an iPhone in a previous tweet today. Goodness, this thing really *is* a gateway drug.

Every time I hear applause through my wall (the main hall in opposite me), I imagine it’s for me. “He saved a document!” *applause*

@MrsMommy @kenkogler Yes, I think I will be spending my “birthday credits” on Band of Brothers. $38 is too good a deal on Blu-ray to pass.
