Costco actually has really good food. Still have two slots in my hotel room to fill- if you go, then only one more.
See you there, I hope.

Gah! Its back! Get it off!
Oh, and guildwars is interesting to say the least. I thought things such as the new "Graft" mechanic where mostly a rehashing of older, better thought out ones.

I think it may be possible for these to actually form religions. Like, above cult level.
Star wars has enough insane fans...
