Recently I caught an episode of Twist The Throttle on Discovery HD, and it intrigued me.  First of all we all know I’m definitely a fan of any show that’s going to break down the history of a motorcycle brand.  The first episode of this series I happened to catch was on Ducati, and boy did I learn a lot of interesting stuff that I definitely didn’t know.  I’ve setup the DVR to grab any of these as they repeat, but luckily there’s a chance to catch some of the episodes this month. 

I really want to try to catch the Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha episodes, but I’ll admit the Ducati and BMW episodes gave me a whole new look at both brands.

I learned today just how hard some games can be on varying game consoles.  For instance I love playing Moto GP 08, and I’m pretty darn good at it.  Hubby wanted a racing game for the Wii, so I decided to buy MotoGP for the Wii.  Seriously, I should have just stuck my money back in my pocket and walked out of the store because it’s freakin’ hard as hell to play this game on the Wii!  According to the ratings on Gamespot it looks like others might just agree with me.  I think I shall be taking this one back and trading it in for something else.

I’m sorry if you haven’t been able to access the blog for a few days as I’ve been having some trouble with the database that has caused some downtime.  Hopefully I’ve got everything straightened out now, but there’s always a chance that it could be down a bit more today or tomorrow when I try to fix one more issue.

I still haven’t fixed the comments issue, so I’m still manually verifying comments.  What sucks is I think the only way to really fix it is to completely lose all previous comments.  Luckily I haven’t had to deal with a lot of spam lately to manually deny, so I’m hoping that means I can keep manually doing things for awhile.  If spam kicks back up again I’ll have to go back to the idea of wiping everything clean where the comments are concerned.

A friend suggested one more possible fix for the comments though, so I’m going to hopefully try that today.  I apologize for any downtime that may result from that later today or tomorrow.
