An unplanned purchase of new front struts for my car.

Who needs Christmas money anyway?

I just bought a Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote Shutter Release Controller and (2) spare batteries for my Canon Rebel T1i. I also picked up a 100 pk. of Verbatium DVD+R and another Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Plus VGA Cooler for my 2nd GTX480

$5 Touchdown Volcano Box from Taco Bell on the way home. Not bad, but it needed more heat.

another 2 hours with my tattoo artist on my left shoulder. Yes. I am in a lot of pain.
And while i was there, I think I found the tattoo that i might get for my left arm.

Cyborg F.L.Y 5 Joystick and Flight Simulator X. It was from PC World and i got majorly ripped off, and i knew it, but it was just one of those impulse buys as i had a real bad urge to play some flight sim when i got home. Turns out Flight Sim X is pretty bad, lame graphics, even lamer performance (It's actually diabolically bad), a terrible interface too. I mean you crash and you just get the words CRASHED wrote across your screen. No ****, i can see myself. It's like playing something from the early nineties. It wasn't even very realistic either. So i downloaded the X-Plane 9 demo. MUCH better, but still not perfect. It felt a bit more realistic, as you could set it to show actual modeling of the airflow and stuff. It was pretty simplistic, but its the only simulator available to consumers to simulate air flow in real time. Every other game uses some scripted code. It felt pretty good though. I liked how you could fly into space, fly NASA Shuttles and everything in between. It was quite funny though, i was flying a Boeing 737 and decided to do a barrel roll and my wing snapped off ended badly. very.

And then i bought IL-2 1946 off Steam. Now we're talking, for an old game the graphics arn't half bad. The crashes are actually really quite good, i was impressed. In fact crashing is one of the funniest parts. Great fun, i'd recommend it.

Buy 2004 pro and put all the mods on until the new flight sim comes out next year.
