Over a thousand dollars for a domestic flight?  It only cost me £600 for my flight to and from Florida this september.

@Bella: If you shop around and book far enough in advance, it's not that expensive unless you must have first-class...or you're flying with Southwest Airlines >_>

Well, even if it's domestic, it's still all across a damn continent. Not so damn strange, imo.

@Kriz: Sounds cool, although I don't think any OSCers live in that area; unless you're going to take a detour on the way

That's what I meant, a detour, since it's very far away.

Well, if you decide to come through the East Texas area, you could see me. I don't have a guest bedroom, though, so you'd have to get a hotel or something

I started watching this program on Discovery Health about the biology and psychology of attraction, and I really don't know how to feel right now ... on one hand, they initially equated asexuality with frigidness or a lack of sex drive (which is false), but then they turned around and called it a lack of attraction toward others (which is the correct definition) and talked to asexual people who presented their orientation in a positive way. And then they ended the segment by calling it an inborn sexuality like any other.

I mean I wanna be enraged by the first part, but the rest was surprisingly ... truthy.

That's cool ^_^

So, I discovered something that's a bit of a letdown. Cartoon Network Video will only let you watch shows on there if you provide login information for the website of your cable or satellite provider; which, given that I don't know if my mom even setup such a thing with Dish Network, prevents me from watching Adventure Time in the comfort of my room ;_;

I hath returned from the mountains.

We had snow. Lots of it. Loooots.

Fortunately we also had internet, so I didn't even miss the damn episodes coming out. ^v^

@Nej: Damn you and your snow. I didn't get snow at all this year ;_;

So, my aunt is back in the hospital again after having a stroke. She's doing better now, but it was looking really bad last Saturday. However, the part that really has me worried was that my cousin's father-in-law had one recently, as well as Cappy from what I saw on her Facebook this morning ;_;

I think Stew has ascended to a higher plain of geekdom AND hipsterdom by plotting to create and run his own radio station. : o

[Nichi]

He is? Awesome; if it's available online, I might just attempt to add 3G internet to my truck's sound system so I can listen >:3

[stewartsage]

We'll see.  I'm following an ebay auction in the vain hope of saving a hundred/fifty /some dollars on the actual transmitter.  Antenna, power supply, ground, and other cables to be figured out at some point.

[Bella]

Fun. Let's hope snipers don't beat you to it.

Also, Stew, y u no on YIM?

[Nichi]

@Stew: Sounds cool :3

So, my trip is less than 2 months away now. I can't wait >w<

Citizens of OSC, I need your help:
I'm shopping for headphones. I want fairly good quality, but I can only spend $40 USD or less (the remaining amount of my bday/xmas money). Appearance isn't greatly important, though I'd like something that's not "cheap" looking and comfortable to wear. Any suggestions?

I'm leaning toward the  Panasonic RP-HTX7-R1 in either red or green, because it has positive reviews for sound quality, it looks good, and has a fairly long cord and is right in my price range.
