			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- Another reason <em>GTA4</em> sucks: I&#8217;ve been playing the fourth installment in a different series &#8212; <em>Project Gotham Racing</em> <em>4</em> &#8212; and its soundtrack is vastly superior to the one featured in <em>GTA4</em>, a game which has always prided itself on terrific music. So glad I finally sold it so it no longer could contaminate my collection.</p>
<p>- Best part about driving in the snow is creating your own lanes since you can&#8217;t see any. &#8220;Oh, that was the shoulder? I thought it was the lane everyone was afraid of driving in!&#8221;</p>
<p>- Anecdotal evidence from my office Yankee Swap/White Elephant: White people like the book &#8220;Stuff White People Like&#8221;. This is very unexpected.</p>
<p>- <em>Speed Racer</em> is a more entertaining movie than <em>The Dark Knight</em>, at least in the sense that you can&#8217;t help having a smile on your face the entire time. If you can&#8217;t enjoy it, you have no soul. Or you suffer from epilepsy.</p>
<p>- I missed my chance to take my e-stalking to its logical conclusion and meet Veronica Belmont at the Engadget Reader Meetup in NYC last night. Probably for the best, as I would have pulled a Borat and attempted to kidnap her in a burlap sack.</p>
<p>- It&#8217;s nice to see New York be the only city take part in this year&#8217;s baseball offseason. Oh wait, I forgot the Phillies signed Raul Ibanez. Quality pickup there.</p>

<p>- <em>The Bill James&#8217; Historical Baseball Abstract</em> should be every baseball lover&#8217;s Bible. Only this book is based on historical and statistical evidence.</p>
<p>- I would go into work an hour early every day if a few of us set up a game of <em>Axis &amp; Allies</em>. No I wouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>- Jimmy Smits : <em>Dexter</em> :: Forest Whittaker : <em>The Shield</em>. If you don&#8217;t understand the analogy, you need to watch both shows ASAP. Your obsolete SAT test section score depends on it.</p>
<p>- Why are Citi Field&#8217;s seats dark green? Why is pretty much the entire stadium green? Are the Mets planning a uniform style change?</p>
<p>- Amazon Marketplace is vastly superior to eBay if you have stuff you just want to get rid of as painlessly as possible, i.e. <em>GTA4.</em></p>
