Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex.
For those wondering, the sentence above contains 28 letters, and contains all 26 letters of the alphabet. I believe it's the shortest sentence that can do this without using acronyms. It's also syntactically and semantically correct, so yay for grammar. Far better than "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
I've got a browser page open in firefox with its handy tabbed browsing feature (to further fuel the fire of debate from previous posts), and I've got a lot of eBay tabs. It looks like I want to buy the dubbed Cowboy Bebop boxset, Risk 2210 AD, and the Settlers of Catan 5-6 player expansion. I'm holding off on the latter two though, since I hope to visit a hobby and gaming store tomorrow for price comparison. The games store in Conestoga actually sold out of the Settlers expansion, so if the place tomorrow doesn't have it cheap, then eBay is my best bet.
We've had some thoughts of buying a Risk board, but I figure I might as well dish out the extra dough for the Risk 2210 board since you can play the original game on it, as well as the variation.
As for the Cowboy Bebop boxset, that requires some explanation. I was dicking around on my computer one day when I realized that there are benefits to being stuck on a residence connection: a huge LAN. A fair number of people realized this and are sharing massive amounts of media. I must have, by far, the most of anyone though. I have almost all of my 200GB drive shared, and it's nearly full. So far I've downloaded some music, Seasons one and two of Chapelle's Show, four seasons of Scrubs, and an anime called Samurai Champloo. It's set in ancient Japan and has a mostly hip hop feel to it. It's really good, barring the fact that I'm not a large fan of subbed anime. After researching it a bit, I found that the directors/producers have tie-ins with Cowboy Bebop (and also the O-Ren Ishii anime scene in Kill Bill). I remember watching one episode that was really good. It has a mainly Jazz/Blues theme to it, and it is one of the more popular non-child oriented animes out there. Perhaps it would be worth forking over 40 bucks for a decent anime series, but for the moment I have LOTS to watch.
Well tonight I've got a potluck to attend. I picked up some Swedish meatballs, but I'm not entirely sure I have a container big enough to carry them over in. I guess I should think about cooking them now.
