from now on you will be watching tv shows and spotting Twin Peaks actors.
How I met your mother had reoccurring roles for 2 of the main guys but I couldn't stop thinking of them as anything but the twin peaks characters

You Twin Peaks fans should check out the Psych episode "Dual Spires." Season 5 I think.

Do you follow your local teams, Bence? Debrecen is playing a Latvian team Skonto in the second round of the Europa League qualification. I'm going to the first, home game on Thursday.

Sometimes I like to pop in a Phish DVD and go back to my college happy place. Nostalgia kicking in hard right now.

Not that anyone cares, but my thoughts on my new laptop after having it now for a week.How does it stack up vs my 6 year old Toshiba Satellite?

Pros
- super fast (better be for 12gb of RAM and i7 processor)
- lightweight
- amazing display
- 5 hours of battery

Cons
- I am not a fan of the keyboard. My last laptop had the best keyboard ever. I miss that keyboard :(
- Audio is worse than last laptop
- Has slightly shorter cord than last laptop (not as much of an issue as long as battery life stays good)
- edges are sharp, kind uncomfortable to type on for extended periods.
- Windows 8.1 is stupid, but fast

They just launched this version of laptop on June 1st. I had been researching for months and couldnt find exactly what I wanted. Then I saw the ad on the Lenovo website for this new upcoming model and it was very close to what I was looking for, once upgraded. I waited 3 weeks to see if any reviews hit the net. I was nervous about being a 1st gen user on a new laptop. Never found a good, in-depth review. I think they ran a lot of specials in order to get some initial sales moving. I jumped when they dropped the price 300 bucks for a short time. I figured it was a risk worth taking. I originally was only going to get the 8gb ram version, but went ahead and spent another 80 for more ram and better graphics card. I still hate the design of the edge of the laptop where you rest your hands, its sharp and not comfortable - at all. Perhaps something that will get changed in later versions. Something that would definitely have been noted in a full review. Oh well. #guineapig #sorehands #biznation
