Yesterday I managed to get a DS Lite. The Target in Mountain View had two left. While I thought about trying to get a profit by reselling the other, I figured it just wasn't worth it. Especially if the attempt resulted in a net loss.

My wife and I then spent the better part of the evening combing the penninsula for Castlevania DS. Unfortunately, we came up empty.

Today, my wife came into the office to participate in one of our paid research studies. Unfortunately, she doesn't get paid to participate. Otherwise, that would have covered the DS purchase. Of course, if other people I knew wanted to participate, they could certainly get paid.
