Yesterday, I went to the local Dick’s Sporting goods to pick up some ski-pants, a hat, goggles and a ski mask. Now when I wear everything it looks like I’m some sort of ninja wearing a space suit. Which is fun.

After Dick’s we went to the Virgin Megastore (which isn’t that mega) and I picked up Dane Cook Retaliation. It came on 2 CD’s and a DVD. The CD’s are brilliant. I’d heard most of it before but there was some stuff that was new. There’s a bit about nothing fights that people who hate each other’s guts have and then directly after that is a bit about making up which is fantastic. The whole thing makes a little more sense although it still doesn’t explain “I just saw Jesus’ eyes”. Google strikes out on that one too.

Speaking of striking out, we decided to get an X-Box, not a 360, a few games and a “Shovels” controller. A shovels controller is one of the first controllers that were brought out for the X-Box, which you needed shovels for hands to use it. We got Madden 05 and a baseball game. It’s a pity that baseball isn’t popular enough in Europe to bring out baseball games. They’re a lot of fun especially when you can steal bases easily because your opponent is unfamiliar with the pad.
