Then, go out and see Saw II.

These psychological thrillers are sure to make you feel as though it was money well spent.

Money Well Spent is now in the double digit episodes! Join Patrick, John, Jessica and Jeff in a discussion about all things that money is well spent on! This week Jeff introduces Gothic heavy metal (or something like that) as the ideal music for seasonal color changes. Jessica suggests a movie (one not even heard of by John). John and Patrick both suggest a couple more conservative and practical picks.

What’s a better way to spend your day than dropping by the local music store, picking up Type O Negative’s October Rust album and driving through river valleys in the fall when the leaves have changed?

Well maybe getting married. Or getting cybernetic limbs if you were born without arms.

but that’s about it.

This particular Type-O album is a fantastic piece of music for driving, especially when all the leaves have turned their gorgeous post-mortem shades of red, yellow, brown, what have you.

Find yourself a cute girl, or boy [hell if you’re listening to goth music you might not be that particular, heh heh], hop in the car and start driving. And with gas prices now dropping down to the wonderfully affordable price of $2.25/gallon, you haven’t much of an excuse!

I promised John that if he followed the advice of this pick and didn’t either A) enjoy the experience, or B) directly benefit from it, I’d buy his copy of the album off him. This should act as a convincing display of my resounding confidence in my pick for this week.

If you’re like me and have 4 roommates in one duplex, or just like things to be frozen and need extra room for those frozen things (excluding baby heads), a 5 cubic foot chest freezer from GE is the ticket. Pick it up for $199 from Home Depot.

What can be more fun than learning how to dance a crazy dance such as the Salsa? Pick up some lessons for under $50…a great way to meet new people (*wink), or do some couple bonding!

Episode 9 is now availabe! Here about Jessica and 4 friends not fitting into their house and about Patrick’s most recent favorite video game. Find out what pick John had this week to make Patrick admit it was a good idea!

Wow! Is this ever cool. For only $250, you must get a Slingbox which is one of the coolest tv accessories around. The way it works is you connect it to your tv or dvr and to your internet connection (or local area network). Then you can watch shows on your computer.

It works incredibly well. Even over the internet. The quality and speed is great. Talk about nice for people who travel a lot! Also a good way to watch content from the dvr in another room of the house, bring it up on your laptop. Even connect your laptop to another tv.

The player supports full remote capabilities over your tv and dvr. It is really impressive.

When I was 14 and saw the movie Full Metal Jacket for the first time, I found myself thinking “man, I really wish the guy playing Animal Mother [Adam Baldwin] was in every movie and television show ever made”. Although thankfully for the majority of the world’s population not all my wishes come true, [No really, believe me, this is a very good thing] Adam Baldwin does finally co-star a wonderful television series called Firefly.

This is one of the best new shows I’ve seen in a number of years. Joss Wedon’s directing is fantastic, the storylines are quite interesting, and the character’s personalities are so strong and entertaining in each episode that the genius of this show is difficult to deny.

As a testament to my appreciation for Firefly, I’ll say that I’ve despised Joss Wedon’s other work [namely Buffy the Vampire Slayer], but was struck with an unbiased love for this show.
