DS Lite and Stuff

First off, I want to say thanks for all the support for my father. He is home and resting now. He had a rough week and its so good to have him back. I also want to thank my mom who has been putting in 10-14 hour days at the hospital to be with him.
Not too much new here. The DS Lite is out and yes it is sexy. Not sure if its sexy enough to throw down another $130 for. Gamestop is only giving $50 the old DS. I might try to put it on Ebay to see what I can get. Hoping for at least $75.
Gradius Collection is f'n hard. I went through Gradius 1 with little trouble. Gradius 2 gets real tough. Stage 7 is a collection of Gradius and Life Force bosses. There are like 6 of them back to back and if you die, you start from the begining. Talk about frustrating. I still stand by word that it is a solid package, but only if you like these kinds of games.
Teri and I saw Cars earlier today. Good movie. Its amazing what they can do with CG these days. Some of the shots are just amazing. The story is typical Disney, but what really sells it is the wonderful CG and characters. They were playing it in Lakeville's new Mega theater. That thing seats at least 1000. Its huge!
