I hate seeing people brag, but I just have to. My loving wife paired up with my brother to get me an Xbox 360 for my birthday! I have been a stalwart PC guy for my entire life. Probably because when the first Xbox came out, my PC was already more powerful than it was. But now I am seeing the light - Consoles are much more powerful than computers are at a fraction of the price. Don't buy it? Play Oblivion on a PC then play it on the 360. It's insane. What brings my P4 2.60Ghz to it's knees is displayed at a smooth 60 frames per second on my fucking TV. Awesome.

Also since I am a titanic flake my brother restored a discarded Compaq Ipaq for me to keep my head straight. Unfortunately it died after only a week. Some kind of connector malfunction made the screen flip like it was in a mirror. Oh well, it was fun being organized for a short while.

Lisa picked up a new glass coffee table for the livingroom which serves as a much better table than the US Army footlocker we were using before. Although we can't store our blanket in it quite so easily, it's a much more attractive living space than it used to be. Maybe I will get some pictures going if I can find the connector for my camera... where is my brain?

Ooh xbox. I am just distracted.
