I'd make a bunch of impulse buys, some from my thinkgeek list and the rest wherever I see things I want, with little to no thought.

I still haven't gotten around to reading the Dresden Files, and I watched one or two episodes of the show before deciding I really ought to read the books.
DON'T YOU EVER WATCH THAT SHOW AGAIN, FORGET IT AND FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.
SURGICALLY REMOVE THAT PORTION OF YOUR BRAIN BEFORE CONTINUING TO THE BOOKS. Then enjoy

All the receipt says is 1 x Primary hard drive (32M Cache, 1 TB, 7200 rpm, 6.0 GB/s)
I know what "1 TB" means, and that it was the cheapest option for the space I needed. Besides that, no clue. Not much into computers, per se, just the things they can do for me xD

Introductions
Well helloooo there. I'm ol' Aresem, we all know that, and I'm a nerd (we also know that)
You can find me all over the pleasure end of the nerd spectrum, which is basically everything but academics.
My biggest, wink wink, nerd trait would have to be my love of the supernatural. I'm into superhero comics, paranormal sci-fi, and all the forms of fantasy flowing out of Tolkiens grave. I'm big into gaming, computer or tabletop, and the second you mention dice I'll be rolling up character sheets.
That's me in a nutshell, you'll figure the rest out as you go

I think of Jack Daniels when I hear sour mash.
And there's not much of a guide... it's just a three piece wine airlock in a rubber stopper corked into a 64 oz bottle of white grape juice with 1 cup replaced with a cup of pomegranate juice. Yeast added of course.
I picked up the necessary items from the local party store, they carry home brewing supplies. Got the idea from a kit on thinkgeek, just had to gather the reagents, lol.

Pruno? I'm not sure. I do know it's apparently called federweisser in Germany and sturm in Austria, though, lol.
48 hour juiceahol. And yes, I think you're right, it's watching the little yeast dudes eat sugar, puff out CO2, and inevtiably die
I am their god of juice.

This crap is interesting and I'm not sure why. I loved watching the yeast get to floating itself all around the bottle, then it foamed up out of the airlock, receded, and started flowing a steady stream of gas into the airlock, making the water in it bubble and such.
None of that really sounds interesting, I know, that's my point! Why am I so fascinated by that?

Oh, lol, didn't know that one. I just figured it was called "toilet wine"
But nah, no bread, just grape and pomegranate juices and a yeast packet With EMULSIFIERS! For emulsifying I guess!

For sure. End result is better than I expected too.
Low proof, about 7 or 8 I'd estimate, but it tastes like even less, which is what makes all the difference

Sci Fi
I'm so into this show. My favorite thing is that even though it's a "syfy" original series, you can only tell it is like 10% of the time! That's at least 90% less often than most of their other shows!
Also, it apparently takes place in the same universe as Eureka, considering the crossovers... so that leads me to believe that they're trying to build up a sort of ongoing universe kinda like the comics do. I could go for that, if they keep hiring people that can do their jobs as actors and writers.
If you haven't checked it out yet, fire up the ol' netflix. Or do whatever people without Netflix do, I don't even remember.

I don't know what his keyboard does, unless I missed it, is that later in the series? I'm almost through season 2.
Artie is definitely my favorite, he's like a big asperger-y teddy bear xD Claudia's alright by me when she's not being written as too quirky for no reason.
Here's my one complaint, that one chick kept saying she didn't eat sugar but then out of nowhere they gave her a habit of eating twizzlers. Twizzlers aren't sugar free! What gives?

I was disappoint when the 9th went, but quickly grew to prefer the 10th.
Now, I start season 5, the 11th Doctor's first season. Why does EVERYTHING feel different?
I get that Russel T. Davies is no longer writing, but whoever it said wrote this one has written episodes before. But somehow, everything just has this weird feel like they decided to subtly shift the tone of the show in a different direction.
...also this new guy seems kind of annoying.

Makes sense. The next stage of illness is probably turning into zombies.

Gonna end up buying up my whole wishlist before the year is done

Same deal as the Holiday bundle, the games cost any price you wanna pay but you get more (the current bonus is World of Goo) if you pay above average (which is, once again, just under $6)
It's a pretty sweet deal, it's for a good cause, and you get to pick how much of the donation goes to who. Just to clarify, since the website is making it a little ambiguous, this is NOT exclusively for mobile devices! That's just an added bonus, you get access for every platform available just like the last bundle.
Be charitable, get discount games. It's a great selection, and it's too cheap to ignore

Also I guess Jethro Tull's Original Masters. That or... no, that AND everything else I want, why would I only have one album with all the memory this thing has?
