Good luck to you too! I agree with forgetting grad school ever existed, I am going on a PS3 binge as soon as I hand in this monster!
Haven't had much time to play around with the PSVita yet, but so far I would say it is definitely worth the money!
Got a tip for us?

no, he said he has a $20 cheap knife set from china with 3 knives, a cutting board, and a block.... and that's why he is excited for the shun ken.
Oh see, reading comprehension FTW! If SHE had paid $20 for the shun ken I'd want in on that deal! I think those knives are hundreds of dollars.
sorry, didn't know she was a she!
but yeah, they retail for around $200 for that knife. A 4.5" onion is about $100
Wusthof makes some very nice knives as well. If you are looking for a nice block loaded with knives, this is a good starter...

Ordered it online and haven't received it yet, but it felt great in the store.
Yup, paid $200 on Amazon.
Wusthof makes good German knives, certainly, but unless you're buying a gift, I'd avoid the economy line, go with a higher-quality line of knife, and buy one or two versus a block for the same price. Obviously that's what I did, but I did it for a reason!
That book I posted earlier, An Edge in the Kitchen, was very informative.
Anyway, I decided on Japanese knives because they're harder, sharper, and lighter, much more so than the Germans. The "Ken Onion" series by Shun caught my eye because of the ergonomics, which feels better in my hand, particularly with a pinch grip. The rocking motion is really smooth with it, too. And having been in the military, I knew of Ken Onion and his great knife designs.
Shun had the other things I was looking for like high hardness (61 on the Rockwell Scale), high carbon content, not a full bolster, more acute bevel (16° each side) to be even sharper, and great balance.
Can't wait to start using it! I definitely defer to a chef's knife more than anything.
Such a great game.

Also got some small kitchen stuff.
Bodum coffee cups.
Some beautiful olive wood tools.
Marble mortar and pestle.
Black Truffle Salt. Quite delicious.

I love that drive but it is EXPENSIVE.
Also, I don't understand the daisy chain option, I doubt FW could power two of this drives, so whats the point?
To be honest, like Perrumpo said, dont even bother with the Gourmet line. We bought a set of steak knives, The Gourmets, from Macys when they were having a sale. We were excited because we wanted to upgrade and start our collection. This was a spur of the moment purchase, as we werent aware of the sale. When we got home and opened them, you could tell they were of poor quality. In my opinion, if your looking for quality, buy only one knife at a time, and avoid blocks. That is unless you can shell out $900 for a stacked Shun kit, or comparable.
And to stay on topic: I bought some of these for my routers
I've got one of these
I've got the corner sofa that goes with it....amazingly comfortable!
Money well spent. And if you haven't played the first one yet, I highly recommend it.
I recently got a pair of their Kahuna shorts, and I am in love with them. Fantastic products.
Bought this yesterday from Best Buy as a test...I really wanted the TikTok, but I don't think it is worth the $25 more than the Q Collection. I'm really liking it though!
