yesterday I don't even know what time i woke up. There really did not seem like there was a reason for me to wake up at any decent time. As soon as I did wake up, however, I got dressed and went out to run some errands. Since I don't have a car this means walking. But it wasn't bad, it was actually a pretty nice day. This weekend my buddy is getting married so I needed to buy some nice clothes and get a haircut. My haircuts consist of basically getting a buzz cut. Since it wasn't convenient for any of my friends to do this simple procedure, I had to go to a salon to get it done. So I paid $12 for a nice lady to run a trimmer over my head. It probably took all of 8 minutes. Next I walked to J.C. Penney's since it was the closest clothing store. I don't usually shop there, I usually buy cheap clothes, but I needed to look nice. So I went in and wandered around for awhile and learned something. Even though I am thick around the waist, I am neither big nor tall. So I have that going for me.
After I bought the clothes I walked over to Subway for some food and got a call from a buddy. Later that night we hung out. What is funny is what we did. He lives with like 5 other guys who were all home. We made tacos to eat and sat around and watched The Incredibles. Now this is a bunch of guys who's ages range from 18-25 watching a Disney movie...but The Incredibles is too good to worry about if you look gay or not.
After that I went home and basically went to bed. Nothing else to really do. Tomorrow will be a little more exciting since Burn Notice finally has a new episode airing and also I got Bourne Identity mailed to my from NetFlix. I think I am the only person who has not watched any Bourne movies...but that will change in the coming weeks since they are the next 3 in my queue. Then its HellBoy, another movie I haven't seen that I should have.

Day 1 - No X-Box and Long wait in sight
Last night I stayed up until 3:30 playing Virtua Tennis 3. I had finally leveled up my player to what I wanted and was now dominating the tournaments. By the end of the night I was ranked #2 in the world heading into the final grand slam tournament of the season, I had won the last 3. I had owned this game for about a week, but had just started to really get into it after watching the Federer-Nadal Wimbledon final just the other day. So at 3:30 am last night with my #2 ranking in hand I decided to stop playing for the night. A big reason for this was my thumb had started cramping up which happened because I needed to hold down on the buttons in order to get more powerful shots. Anyways, I had decided to give my thumb a rest.
Today I woke up at around 12 (yeah I know, lazy) and after showering and all that I decided to turn on the old X-Box. Today being Tuesday means the new DLC for Rock Band is out, and for this week it means 4 new songs including 2 Rush sons,which I was excited about. Also I needed to get the #1 spot in Virtua Tennis. So I went to turn on the game and nothing. No response whatsoever to me pressing the on button. Same went for me pressing the eject button. Nothing. No clicking noise and no red ring of death; just nothing. So I checked all the power, even though I knew nothing had changed since the night before, and tried it again. Nothing.
This couldn't have come during a worse-better time. Techincally I should be working on school work, since I have an incomplete to finish and a thesis prospectus to write. Sure I could use more time to do that stuff, but my ADD does not let me concentrate on things not blinking for more the 30 minutes. On the other hand, next week Rock Band is releasing the long awaited Who song pack which I have been waiting for and also next weekend I am having NCAA '09 delivered to my apartment. So what the hell am I going to do while I wait for my XBox to be fixed? In the coming weeks I will write down all that I experience throughout this ordeal. Hopefully it will make me a stronger person, and perhaps it will end my dependency on video games; until I get it back of course since I will have NCAA '09 by then and Rock Band II comes out in September!
