Laptops, UFC, TV + stock market update 11-16-07

I have been eyeing the asus eee laptop. I have seen a few website reviews on them and I still like what I see. The only thing is the price is actually $399 on all the websites I have seen them on. That is a far cry from the $199 price tag originally advertised. This is still a toy I still want to get but might wait for it to come down in price or until I actually sell my current laptop. I do like the green pc Walmart is selling, too. I went down there to check it out but they don’t actually carry it in stock. I was ready to order it online and it is already back ordered. I guess it is just not meant to be.

There is a UFC mma event this weekend but to be honest with you the fighters on this card don’t look to exciting. I am losing interest in the UFC like Dancing with the Stars. The fight card is:

Main event:

205 lbs.: Rashad Evans (10-0-1) vs. Michael Bisping (14-0)

Main card (televised):

205 lbs.: Houston Alexander (8-1) vs. Thiago Silva (11-0)
185 lbs.: Ed Herman (13-5) vs. Joe Doerksen (39-10)
170 lbs.: Karo Parisyan (17-4) vs. Ryo Chonan (14-7)
155 lbs.: Frank Edgar (7-0) vs. Spencer Fisher (20-3)

The only fight that remotely looks like a great fight would be Alexander vs Silva.

The 2 TV shows I am looking forward to watching is the Bachelor final rose ceremony this coming Monday and the next episode of Dexter this Sunday. I watched a horror show on showtime called Pick Me Up which was about 2 serial killers competing to kill people. It was a low production and just not as good as the Dexter show.

I did watch a a crazy Russian movie called Day Watch about day vs night people. They did talk about vampires in it but the story wasn’t really cohesive. It was like a scrambled egg omelette of the Matrix and Dracula put together. Sounds good but just doesn’t deliver so I wouldn’t recommend it.

The market closed up today after a choppy trading session. The negative news from Starbucks, Kohls, and JCPenneys didn’t last too long on the overall market.

DOW 13,176.79 +66.74
NASDAQ 2,637.24 +18.73
S&P 500 1,458.74 +7.59

    Night Watch was a little mental as well - the series actually had potential but kinda choppy and one of those trying to be abstract for the sake of being so flicks. But the action was enjoyable.

    Hi YC,
    Yeah the trailer sucked me into watching it because it was put together well. Then when I watched it I felt maybe there was a cultural difference I might be missing. In the end, I just had an unsatisfying feeling even with the good effects.
    CHeers!
