blog is as blog does

confessions of a car salesman - a rather lengthy, but very informative look at the salesman's side of purchasing a new car. i'm ashamed to admit i was a "lie down" when i bought my car. next time, i won't be so naive. 3dmark - a pretty sweet piece of gaming benchmark software i was playing with last night. my computer scored a 3146. i feel slightly embarrassed by that. craigslist - i realize that the internet a-list has known about craigslist for years, but the vancouver corner of it has only recently started to take off. that's my official excuse. otherwise, i'm addicted to reading the casual encounters listings. people are such freaks. bachelor bob - everyone knows about the bachelor, so there's not a lot to tell. but what you might not know is that on the official site, bob writes a weekly diary entry as a compliment to the show we get to watch (we meaning everyone but me, who's in class on wednesdays and i tape gilmore girls which is on at the same time). it's been great for me to not only be able to keep on on the drama with recaps, but also get a tiny peek into bob's head as he goes through this hyped-up process. i've got to admit, i think i could be totally in love with bob, too. tv tome - if you love tv (really now, who doesn't), you need to know about tv tome. if you've ever wondered who played the lab technician on quincy, m.e. (filip field) or when the last episode of miami vice aired (june 28,1989), this is the place to go. it's your turn - shall we play a game? how about a nice game of chess? the best way i've found to play classic, and not-so-classic, board games online with people with ADHD or those who don't care to play in real-time. if you're interested my account name is "hessie", send me an invite!
