A little of everything...
Class: My 5 classes are going pretty well so far. In fact, they are almost too easy...that said, the reading load is a bit heavier than I'd like. Overall though, I think it might turn out to be another solid quarter.
Media Center PC: My "Tivo" has been running a few days now, and I must say...I heart it. It's so nice that it automatically records pretty much any show (or entire series) I want, then I can just watch them whenever I want. Pausing live TV is another feature I've taken much more advantage of than I originally thought I would. One thing I haven't been able to test out is the ability to sync to portable video players, but that's because I don't have one.
Microsoft Vista: Vista is the replacement for XP and that's the OS my Tivo is running. I must say, I'm much more impressed than I thought I'd be. There's no 1 overall feature that is killer, but it just feels so much more clean and well thought out than XP. I find myself doing what I need to do and not spending 1/2 that time looking up where to find that feature in help files.
Facebook access: I mentioned previously that companies claim to be able to access private Facebook profiles. Well, after thorough testing, I cannot find a way to do so. I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible, but unless you're applying for the NSA, I wouldn't worry about it.
Current "realistic" dream car: Nissan announced a new version of the Altima Coupe to come out in 08, and I must say it's nice...take a look here.
Jim Gaffigan: The show was awesome! Even though I've heard a lot of the jokes before, he still cracks me up. The only downside was a mix-up in the date of the show resulted in my parents having to give up their tickets to some of my friends, and I wish they could've been there. But it was still fun.
