1. My microbiology book was $200
2. Fuck.
3. Battlestar Galactica is an awesome awesome tv show.
Edit:
4. My dad is mostly likely getting a significant pay raise and better job, but we may lose some of our medical/optical/dental/etc for a few months.
5. I canceled my WoW account and started playing EVE Online, which is run on a rented super-computer complex in London. For great nerdiness here are a few screenshots: The last is a map of the known universe, each dot represents a solar system, and all the red ones are entirely controlled by player factions, venturing there alone is likely a death-sentence.
