Christmas week! I already scored a ton of cookies and cupcakes so I am pretty happy. Mom made a ton of stuff this year because she is cool.

Whatup with WiMax?
Whatup with internet radio?
iPhone prayers
Growing fingers is hot
Innovation still needs money
Your cat hates you, dont be fooled

As for the the videogame news around these parts:

Batman: Arkham Asylum screenshots
F.E.A.R. 2 screenshots
Crackdown 2 kinda possible, maybe
Assault on Dark Athena screenshots
Factor 5 is done
GTA4 PC already off the PC sales charts
EA on Steam now international
Guitar Hero: Metallica trailer now available
Tabula Rasa now free to play
Xbox 360 scores a $5 fireplace app
Battlestations: Pacific trailer
Braid PC coming next year
MS shows off XBLA stats
Nintendo DS causing house fires?
Halo half price on XBL

Lastly, so glad to be home. I was in New York briefly last week for a day trip that went along with a snow storm. Extended my stay by a few hours there but I managed to barely squeeze on the last flight of the night Friday. Considering all the Saturday flights were also booked, it was not looking good there.

Arrrgh. I have a sore throat, and I've had a sore throat for like...months, on and off.

I've seen a doctor about it, and I've gotten a blood test, and I have nothing like...really bad.

Anyone else have a chronic sore throat?

  My dad has chronic bronchitis. Not much he can do about it besides guzzling Cepacol.
  
  I think it's an air quality thing for him though - house is heated by a wood burning furnace.

  Make sure to avoid all food and drink a few hours before you go to bed. Could be stomach acids leaking up to your throat. You also might be snoring which can cause similar irritation.

  Sounds like allergies! Go back to your doctor and ask for Chlorpheniramine Maleate Cap C 12MG. It will make it and any other allergy symptoms of yours go away.
  
  I used to cough constantly for OVER 10 YEARS! Much to the annoyance of any of my friends/coworkers I'm sure. No over the counter and many of the prescribed allergy meds worked, but Chlorphenir is like the fucking magic pill for allergies and absolutely no drowsiness.

  could be a mild cough. i think with the misuse of antibiotics, the strains are becoming more and more resilient and just last longer than before.
