dunno yet, guess we'll find out. he's planning to do some light blocking curtains in the room to try to kill most of the light. he says it's because of the projector but i really know it's because he's a Twihard

What overlighting? The room doesn't get morning or afternoon sun, and even still, there will be measures taken to reduce the ambient light as it is.

my dad sent me this, pretty funny i think:

Railroad tracks.

The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

Ancient horse's asses control almost everything...

That's what I've been doing too, except I just finished watching House a little while ago.

ot but have you watched "hell on wheels" yet on AMC? I'm really digging it actually, I wish the walking dead moved at the same pace as this show.

No, I've never heard of that show.

It comes on after the walking dead, it's about the construction of the railroad connecting west and east coasts immediately after the civil war, as a history buff, I think it's pretty good. Common (the rapper or whatever he does, don't listen to that type of music much) is in it, and he's actually quite good in this show.

Meh, doesn't sound that interesting to me. I'm usually too busy catching up on DVR stuff anyways
