I don't know, one of the few industries actually doing very well according to economists was the video game industry. At least the publishers anyway...
It's a pretty solid investment, and it will keep you entertained when you can't afford much of anything else.
All that said, my 401(k) states otherwise when I try to say I haven't been hit too hard by this depression.
Gotwoot will survive this recession
Regarding business, ever since my state's changed road rules so that Learners have to clock 100hrs over a 1yr period has been bad for driving instructors. People would rather learn from their parents now, since they have to drive for a year and clock up those times anyway, whereas before, it was 6 months, and as little practice as you wanted (~6-12 driving lessons?). This, more so than the economy, has made living as a driving instructor difficult. - a personal account from someone I know.
I'm blind as a bit these days. Yesterday, I beeped my card on the bus as I got on, and failed to notice a mum from our neighbourhood who was sitting right behind the beeper.
Today, I went and sat down on a seat only to find there was no seat.
There were 3 fold-up-able seats on the left and 3 on the right side of the bus. Sideway facing seats that could fold to allow wheelchairs/babyprams to fit if needed.
I moved to the front left and sat. All the seats were folded out/down except mine....

friggin internet. Been down forever at my house and I can't do crap at work dealing with torrents...about all I can do is read Wikipedia since its a resource....and my brain hurts.
But I'm back...thank god its fixed....and screw you hughesnet!
I just heated up some fish fillets to make a sandwich for tomorrow's lunch, and then found out that there's mold on my bread. Now I have to eat the fish fillets and buy lunch tomorrow.
Goddamn it.
I guess buying some more bread is out of the question?

I had to do a speech for my speech class yesterday and spent at least 8-12 hours preparing it and all of that was based on my powerpoint I made...
Get to class and the teacher doesn't have a key for the podium, which has the computer / projector remote in it ( 2 months into this class.. wtf ) so i had to just wing my speech and it went horrible. I was perfectly prepared to do it w\ the powerpoint I had prepared, but without that I just had a weak speech outline and 2 pages of works cited.
Daylight savings time started yesterday [as opposed to the scheduled day a few weeks from this point], where we had to change our clocks one hour forward, meaning I lost an hour of sleep.
This adds to my everlasting deficit of several hundred hours of sleep lost.
Screw the projected conservation of millions of oil barrels or the minuscule 0.03% savings in electrical consumption this year. I want my one-hour back.
On another note that correlates with the aforementioned topic, napping increases diabetes risk. God damn it.

Interesting. Like they said though, I wouldn't concentrate on napping being a risk factor too much. Not until they sort out whether it's "Napping causes diabetes" or "Those who nap are more likely to get diabetes because they also tend to do X activity".
Nap if you need to. Just stay healthy.

McDonald's delivery boys always forgot my fuckin straw.
You can't compare Bush to Hitler cause Bush is the village idiot and Hitler was border line genius, unfortunately he was border line insane also, so sad such a mind went to waste.
McDonald has got delivery?
New to me - they don't do that here... i feel like i live in ancient times compared to you.

Sorry, couldn't resist
I had to send my PlayStation 3 for swap since my last one couldn't read any discs, even after trying all of their suggestions at their website. Costed about $200 to get it swapped.

Currently playing: All of your games, probably.
eww....
you should have dismantled your ps3 and cleaned the laser.
I bought 2 60gb ps3's for $250 total off craigslist because they couldn't read disks... cleaned both, one worked perfect after cleaning and sold for $400+ on ebay, the other didn't work and sold for $200.
That probably sounded bad.... like you have a 50/50 chance...
Do they only work with some Sony proprietary blu-ray drive, or can't you simply get the cheapest one from your computer store and put it inside to replace the broken one?
I'm not good at dismembering my PlayStation 3, so I wouldn't even consider that an option. My guess is that they work on some Sony blu-ray drive that my local computer store seems to have a lack of.

Damn, is this common or something? Playstation 3 lense stuff-up? I think mine's pretty dusty right now....
I so want Maccas delivered. It's probably not a very cost effective service in Australia though. We only just got free Wi-Fi here in February.

Common with all PlayStations that don't have flip-tops. I cracked my older model PS2 open at least a dozen times over the years.
Damn, and here I thought I escaped cursed hardware failures like the Red Ring of Death by choosing a PS3.
