This week in news...

I wrote a few entries earlier this week about the Nintendo DS situation. We bought two of them to sell on Ebay because there was gonna be a shortage in stores. At first, I thought I'd end up returning them because their prices weren't high enough to make enough money to pay ebay fees and such, but they started to rise pretty quickly, so we're still gonna sell them.

Not only are we gonna sell those two, but we went to wal-mart and bought 5 more. We felt so strongly (or I felt strongly, and convinced Katie of the same:)) that we could make money on these that we had to try to get some more here in town. I also decided to sell them all seperately, even after I scheduled an auction selling the first two together. I looked again at the numbers, and it just made more sense to sell them all seperately. So, 5/7 auctions will end today, and I hope they all go well.

Beautiful ain't it?

In other news, Ocean's Twelve comes out this weekend. Despite the fact that I instictively distrust movies with this many stars, I enjoyed the first one, so I'll be going to see the sequel this weekend.

Lastly, I'm looking forward to a new episode of mythbusters coming out next week. Here's a description of this new episode:

Episode 24: Ming Dynasty Astronaut
Deep in the Mojave Desert Buster takes the hot seat in the MythBusters' quest to test the myth of the Ming Dynasty Astronaut. Will he defy the laws of gravity and survive an explosive launch into space? Or ... not? Then "mad scientists" Adam and Jamie search for a source of free energy, as Adam's stunt double faces nearly losing his head at the hands of the MythBuilders' killer fan. It takes two heads, three fans and five MythBusters to test this head-turning, stomach-churning story.
premiere: Dec. 15, 2004

For those who don't know what the show is about, it's a show about disproving common myths. For instance, the myth that using a cell phone at a gas station can spark and cause a fire, or the myth that dropping a penny from a skyscraper will kill a person. The two hosts recreate the myth using their own unique methods, and decide whether the myth could actually be true or not.

It's really a great show, and I'm looking forward to all the new episodes. I just wish the premiere episodes weren't space almost a month apart.
