I'd want the gang from CSI: Las Vegas - Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, Sara Sidle, Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, and their respective lab techs too.

It hasn't been too funny really.

I must have missed it.

Nothing funny's going on today.

Slashdot added Achievements.

Blizzard is now offering a Pimp My Mount service.

Warcraftpets discovered the Weighted Companion Cube non-combat pet.

... in approximately 9 hours to fly to Texas.

Of course I need to be up at 3am so that I can get showered and to the airport by 4.

Bleh.

On the negative side, I'll be extremely sad and will miss my girlfriend.

On the positive side, I'll be 1500 miles away from family and work.
