With the initial reports flowing in, proclaiming Windows 64 bit edition runs on average 10-20% faster than Windows 32bit edition, it's just hard to stay away. My computer is slowly becoming outdated (though it still does perform nicely), but damn, Windows XP 64-Bit Edition looks amazing. Of course, to run a 64-Bit OS, you need a 64-bit processor, but the current 64 bit processors from AMD are nice, but fairly limited as they are an emerging technology. Luckily, the 939 socket should be coming out, and along with it, the ability to use unregistered DDR RAM, however, ATI hasn't yet released 64 bit driver. Nonetheless, with an upgrade on the horizon, 64 bit processing is the just one of the few upgrades I've been looking forward to. I still need a couple SATA hard drives and a DVD-R would always be nice. Not sure what I'd do with this "old" computer with the 437 gigs of storage.

It's kind of sad to see a family you've grown to love go off the air. The many diverse members of Stuckeyville, portrayed on Ed for the past four years has been great - and now, out of the blue, after a sudden change to a horrible Friday night timeslot, Ed is gone. With few people seeing this coming until it was finally announced that these were the last four episodes of Ed, it's a shame to see such a quality show go off the air and other shows, lasting only a season, such as The Apprentice and other reality shows take their place (though for the most part, I like those shows too). It was a sweet episode to go off the air with and only fitting that the final word spoken was as funny, strange, and unique as the rest of the show for four years, "camel."

Last week, I had to suffer through two hours of crap in my Theater class - we watched Whatever happened to Baby Jane? - it was boring, pretentious, and, despite what my teacher might think, not a cult film. Today's film made up for it though. Continuing the theme of babies, we watched Rosemary's Baby tonight and it was great. I had never seen it before and I'm not sure how I missed it, but it is truly a classic that stands the test of time. Not a boring moment, great plot development, and a truly freaky ending, Rosemary's Baby succeeds on all levels. Also, while calling my mom to wish her a happy birthday, I mentioned the film, and she loved it too when it came out. Kind of interesting to be watching a movie for the first time at about the same age my mom watched it for the first time - and we both loved it. If you've never seen Rosemary's Baby, rent it and be prepared to be scared (especially at the end).

What. A. Game. After setting the record for the longest scoreless Superbowl, the game ended up being the 6th highest scoring Superbowl ever. Including a riveting last quarter, multiple lead changes, missed field goals, kick-offs out of bounds, two-point conversions, the longest pass play in Superbowl history, and much more, this was just a great game. Depite missing out on the Lingerie Bowl (yeah, right - I'm not forking out $20) and Janet Jackson's "slip" (half time always sucks), the day was a success. I decided to create a burger I saw on Emeril (croissant, bacon, burger, cheese, fried egg and a serrano-kiwi salsa) and we also had all the other fixin's - chips, dip, dew. It was fun, and the day was topped off by the fact I had finished my paper that was due on Monday on Saturday night (a rare occurence - finishing a paper over a day before it's due). The great game was just icing on the cake.
