Why you ask? How you ask? Since when you ask? Well, yesterday I had a problem with my computer. Instead of powering on the little light just blinked "amber"...i gotta say i freaked out! I ran down stair yellin for my mom to help me. The main reason for my freak outingness was that if you regularly read the blog A game i extremely want is comeing in a few days and I don't think i could handle sending my computer to microsoft and waiting for it. Whilst my game sits there motionless on my desk while I stare blankly at it for hours on end. Well after my mom told me she will "look at it" later, i figured she wouldnt get to it. I rapidly looked around my room for the owners manual. Well i finally found it and sifted through the pages till I found what surtain lights mean. As it turns out a blinking "amber" light means my computer is getting electric but an internal power cord is malfunctioning. I didn't get to check it out till today and i cracked it opened jiggled the wires for like an hour,blow some caned air into it,and cleaned off most of the stuff.After that by some gracious gift from god I press the on button and it worked. Then i logged on went to firefox and started this update. I'm just so happy that i fixed it some how!:D
Ever since E3 o6 I've been waiting for the best game ever to come out, yes I'm talking about spore The count down is finally here and I am super excited about its arrival!

If your a comic book fan, like me, your hopefully excited about the movie adaptation of Watchmen, which will come out March 6 as long as Fox doesn't have its way.

At this point in time Fox doesn't want to share profits with Warner Bros. and wants the production on the movie to stop. via Slashfilm.
