Better Living Through Introspection

Looks like I’m going to have to buy back my Xbox. Yee-haw!

The original Halo was one of those games that you’d sit down and play until your eyes bled. And even then, that wouldn’t stop you.

So how much better can Halo 2 be? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

(CNN) — An unidentified 12-year-old died Friday after being infected with an amoeba while swimming in a Florida lake. [Full story]

My friend Scott lives near said lake, and he tells me there’s now a sign posted that says in permanent marker, “Caution: Ameeba”.

So, there ya go.
