When EA Games first announced the Nightlife expansion pack for the Sims2, I subscribed to their RSS feed. I wanted to stay on top of the latest developments and to have an idea of what would be available in the release.

I read the reviews, watched the videos and flipped through the screen shots. With the new things introduced in this pack, I was planning on grabbing it from the local EB Games on launch weekend.

I decided to take the kids to McDonald’s tonight for dinner; partly because I didn’t thaw anything out and partly because "Ponopoly" (as my youngest daughter calls "Monopoly") is back. Normally, the drive-thru service is mediocre and 3 out of 5 times the bags contain the wrong order� but it�s still a nice alternative to cooking sometimes. I figured Thursday night, after 7:00pm, how bad could it be? Well, our �quick trip� to the fast food place turned into a 20 minute sit in the drive through lane.

I understand NASCAR wants to make exciting races for the fans. But, come on… when you have 23 cars out of a 43 car field not finish the race because of "the big one" (which is never just ONE)… something’s got to be done.

These super speedways, like Daytona and Talladega, need to be reviewed and something needs to change. Whether it’s lowering the banks, changing the spoiler setup (again) or adjusting the restrictor plate… something needs to be done to avoid ruining this much machinery and endangering this many competitors.
