Let the Game Begin!

I was looking at the list of video games that are coming out over the next couple of months and I realized that I won't be able to buy all the ones that I want. Thankfully Christmas is close and my birthday is closer. Without further adieu, here is the list:
  • Assassins Creed (PS3)
  • Mario Galaxy (Wii)
  • Mass Effect (Xbox 360)
  • Need for Speed: Pro Streets (PS3)
  • Rock Band (Xbox 360) *Super Expensive
  • Too Human (Xbox 360)
  • Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)
  • Grand Turismo 5 (PS3)
  • Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (PS3)
If these game were all spread out over eight months, it would make it easier to buy them all. But, most of them come out before Christmas.

If you are friend of mine of mySpace you will know this story. I will try to keep this long story short. A couple of weeks ago I opened a new WAMU checking account so that I could save the $5 a month that I paying for a Plus account. Shortly before this I loaned some money to a friend and they wrote me a check to pay me back and I deposited it into my new checking. The check was taking forever to clear and when the process finally finished WAMU bounced the check. I know that the money is in their account but WAMU has messed up her accounts too. When WAMU removed the funds from my account they removed the funds from the "Available Balance" on my account instead of the "Ledger Balance" because the funds were never deposited into my account. A couple of days later WAMU fixed their mistake and my account returned to a positive balance. I started using my debit card again and then my card stopped working. I called WAMU and they told me that my account was being closed because of the returned check. I asked multiple times why my accounts were being closed because of someone else's mistake and no one could tell me why. That is about as short as I can make that story, in the letter that I am writing to WAMU it took up two full pages.

I have been doing lots of other fun things, but being that I am sitting in class right now I need to return to paying attention, so I will post them later.
