A guy named Mike Campbell wrote a song called "Put the Budweiser Back in the Clydesdale". It's hilarious. Here's a video of my friend Leo singing it: 

Thanks! As for staying warm, not worried. If the power goes out, we'll hook up the generator so the two houses have heat. I have a two burner camp stove, a flashlight, and lots of candles. We're good to go.

Yeah, but that's Virginia. It's not supposed to snow much down there. This is Maine. This is supposed to happen. I don't get the mass hysteria myself.

Thanks, Blake. As for the DVDs, I have only myself to blame for not checking the case when it arrived. But yeah, it was a dick move.

As for Lost Odyssey, I really enjoyed it. It's linear, but the story is good and the characters are interesting. Not the usual spiky-haired teeny-boppers, they're mostly older (the two little kids are the exceptions). Maybe my favorite RPG of the last generation. The dreams/memories part is amazing - part interactive novel, part incredible story telling. I also really liked the ring mechanic for battle - battle is turn-based, but you can equip rings that give you varied abilities, as long as you time the button press right as this circle is narrowing around the picture of a ring on screen. If you time it so that the circle matches up exactly, you do more damage (or the special ability is more sucessful, like the pickpocket ring which enables the "steal" ability, as long as you time it right). You can craft different rings as you find the various parts you need (usually dropped by monsters after a fight or found in chests, or sometimes you can buy them from merchants).

I looked for LEGO Batman 2 and 3 at Bull Moose Music when I was out and about today. The store I was at didn't have 2, and 3 was still too expensive. Maybe for my birthday...

And you've reminded me I need to go back and finish Tomb Raider. I got stuck on a level with wave after wave of bad guys and kept dying, so I took a break, a very long break, and never got back to it.

The Pac-Man maze thing is cool, but Bud Lite sucks and I wouldn't drink it unless I was paid a lot of money to do so. And I mean a lot!

So you finally watched the movie, I see. Did you like it?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

They're racing snowshoes, pretty useless for anything that isn't packed down first. I managed to get my "yes, please" email out in time to get one of the 18 pairs of loaners available from the race director.

My avatar pic was taken at the beach when it was -15. It was a lot warmer today :D
