I have none, but damn it's a slow day here today.
I guess some news would be "I'm obsessed with SWToR".

I bet it does.
I helped a classmate with her English essay. If I'd graded it myself, she'd be looking at a C+. After fixing it up myself, using my awesome essay skills (I never got anything lower than a B+ during my undergrad). After going through it with an imaginary red pen, fixing sentences, paragraphs, citations, and general spelling/grammar, I think she's looking at a B+/A- paper.
In a fit of not-really-productivity, I finished filling out my WithoutABox info for my film from last year, so I can submit it for the Toronto Animated Arts Festival International. I also updated my LinkedIn, and signed up for Twitter so I can hopefully generate some buzz for it.
I spent today deciding on whether or not to go out. So I did and ate some amazing food, which was delicious. It was so delicious in fact that my body has decided I needed to taste it multiple times through the 2 or 3 times I've woken up to vomit. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!
Steak and shrimp is awesome on the way out, bile and horseradish are amazingly complimentary.

I gave in to peer pressure and got into a habit I thought I kicked along time ago. I resubbed my WoW account..... I feel dirty!!
(even worse....I signed up for the annual pass )

I ordered the Collector's edition of Soul Calibur 5 the other day from Best Buy's website. It is almost here and I cannot wait.

I had a dream last night that I was at work and my old boss was working there. He told me the store was missing 15 million dollars worth of stuff and I was fired.

My boss got in an automobile collision last night.
Our tub has black stuff coming up from it that smells like wet mold with a hint of rust. It's horrible.

My wife is 8 weeks pregnant. We are happy as can be. We have the first sonogram and it was pretty awesome to see the little seahorse looking thing growing inside of her. We went baby stuff browsing with my mom, dad, and his wife to get a collective idea of what my wife and I wanted. While we didn't intend to buy anything given how early we are in the pregnancy, we ended up seeing some bedding stuff, a rug, and a diaper holder that we couldn't pass up on.
If I've already posted about the pregnancy on the board, I apologize.

Aw man! You got that sweet mount didn't you? And Diablo 3!?
yes. not only did i pay to waste countless hours on wow, I also basically wasted 3 months of every spare second with diablo 3 when it comes out. If my addiction to D2 is any judge. On the bright side, the mount is freaking sweet!
Also I'm sure I will have bulk spare time being newly single. Who needs women when I can raid?

Well, at least Cataclysm made a few more things enjoyable at the beginning of the game.
fuck yes. 1-23 in less than 6 hours. Hell I think I was 30 or 40 back in wrath before I even got my first gold. Now im sitting on 15. And mounts at lvl 20? Free pprentice riding skill? So much better.
In other news, I can't sleep, my emotions are going crazy, I'm slightly confused about important issues and I'm drunk. God help the peopl who are working tomorrow.

Did all of our laundry for the first time in what seems like months but which, in actuality, is really only a couple of weeks. Also, re-re-re-fixed-ish the dishwasher. Really wish the apartment complex would just replace the busted old piece of shit, but as that's rather unlikely, we're just going to replace the apartment complex.
We've nailed down our preferred city to move to now, and it looks like we're moving to Louisville. We're both pretty stoked to get the hell out of the NW after so long - but now comes all of the expensive stuff, like paying for movers and paying to fly to Louisville before our move out date so we can look around and make sure we want to live there and can find an apartment where we want to live. We've already checked out apartment complexes online, in one of the suburbs of the city, and there are some really nice places for a lot less than what we're paying right now. Also a benefit, since her company won't decrease her pay rate if she moves there, only her future CoL raise potentials, when we get there we'll be making 75% - 80% of the current median family salary on her checks alone, which should be enough to cover all of our bills and food. Of course, for a while at least, any money we save by living there will be spent on weekend trips to all sorts of places that are within 8 hours of Louisville. It's been far too long since we've had a good weekend trip, and that's mainly because a) we haven't had any money and b) we've already seen most of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. We've been having to travel farther and farther away from home - really having to push the limits of the weekend - in order to see anything we haven't seen tens or hundreds of times.
Oh, and speaking of paying for movers, whatever you do, never - and I mean never EVER - look for a moving quote online and enter a valid phone number. All I wanted was a ballpark range to see what I could expect to need to save up. Since last Thursday I've had 36 phone calls and as many voice mails and close to 100 emails from moving companies (many of them the same company over and over ad infinitum) wanting to schedule times for a home review and estimate. I've since decided that any company that calls me more than twice doesn't get my business. How did spamming the hell out of someone become the number one way to get their business? It's not getting my business, it's just pissing me off! I've even tried telling some of them that I'm not interested right now, and they argue with me about whether or not I'm interested in hearing their sales pitch and refuse to hang up and then refuse to stop calling. Well guess what, united van lines? I'm not using you to move because your reps are assholes! Oh, and Allied Van Lines? Not using you either. Hell, they don't even have the best rates so far - ABF Freight does, and they have a partnership with someone who'll transport one of our two cars for us as well, and even with the extra expense of carrying the car, they still come in under the Allied and United prices.
Now we just have to start paring down all of our crap so that we don't have as much to move. At least we have several months to get it done in, but we need to get started and get a donation pile going so we can get one of the charity orgs to come pick up the stuff that's still good to use, and get rid of the rest of the crap that isn't even fit for donations (busted appliances, torn clothing, etc.). It took us 110 bankers boxes to move last time we moved, plus the beds, desks, computers, TV, gaming console (we had two then, now we have four), and kitchen appliances. That was about 3.5 years ago, and we've acquired more stuff since then. I'd really like to get us down under 100 boxes. Hell, it'd be really nice to be able to get us down to one ABF container instead of two. Unfortunately, I married a pack-rat.

You mean nvidia Quadro FX 4500, right? Those are spendy. Great for CUDA, though.

I stubbed my toe getting into the shower and it hurts like I broke it, but I don't think I broke it.
