I broke down and bought myself the Batman: Gotham Knights novelization yesterday from Chapters! Been looking forward to seeing the DVD when it comes out next month so why not see if it makes a good novel?
 
I bought a stack of $1 martial arts flicks from a dollar store:

Along Comes the Tiger
Bloodfight
City Dragon
Fighting Mad
Killer Elephants
Master with Cracked Fingers
Ninja Heat
Rumble in Hong Kong
Silver Hermit from Shaolin Temple
Tigers at the Top
 
Well, I just changed the oil in my car...it's gone up to $42.38!!! :eek:! Then I went to Wal-Mart to purchase a few items for our office. I have to keep up with utensils, paper plates, and drinks..luckily for me I get my $ back at the end of the week for it. :)
 
Oh yeah, in case you care (and haven't heard about it yet), the new S4 is supposed to be a 3.0 turbo engine (most likely bi-turbo). So if you want a V8 under your hood, the new S4 might not be the car for you.

Yeah, I heard that. Not quite sure what I think about biturbos. On one hand, it saves a fuel I guess, on the other, it's not a V8 and I suspect reliability may be a bit dodgy (it always used to be on the B5-era S4s which were biturbos).

Anyway, I got my car back today (just in time b/c I need it for a business trip) and the lovely service manager was able to put all the radiator investigation and replacement work they did under my extended warranty! She will be getting a present this Christmas I think, or at least a great bit of customer feedback from me to the dealership's overall manager! The investigation alone would have cost me over £400, then the cost of the replacement and its fitting... I'm guessing the total would have been close to £700+. But she managed to get it all done under warrant; I'm glad I bothered to buy it when my manufacturer's one expired. Only had to pay about £20 for a few other odds & sods that needed doing. Result! :cool:

I dunno. I hardly ever get requests for Audi 2.7's which are a twin-turbo. They seem to be one of the better Audi engines.
 
I got a new PC today. :D Here's what I got:
- Intel Core2Duo E8200 (2.66GHz)
- MSI P35 Neo3 motherboard
- 4GB of RAM (2x 2GB)
- Nvidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB

That's about it, I kept the rest of my old hardware (3 hard drives, DVD burner,...).
 
^ Thanks. ;) And yeah, I was gonna get just 2GB of RAM, but it's so cheap at the moment that I couldn't pass up on getting 4GB.

And hey, I remember when every single one of my friends envied me when my PC had 16MB of RAM. That was like 13 years ago though, haha. ;)
 
I got a new mouse and a second network card for my new PC today. The old mouse has been acting up for a while now, and I need the second network card for IP TV.
