A final update on the XBox situation. I went to a different Futureshop yesterday morning and traded back for the Elite, again. I realized that the harddrive was actually a lot smaller than I had first thought. So now I'm sticking with that, and very happy ( Read more... )

So, about the XBox. I go to the store, tell them the story. They take me upstairs with the 360 Elite that I bought and we plug it into a TV's HDMI input. It works. My TV, thus, is the problem. I need to get someone to fix it. The XBox Live Gold Membership for a month card that should've been in the box, however, was not my fault. After ( Read more... )

I just bought an XBox 360 Elite. I bought it at a Cadillac Fairview mall in Anjou because I had $100 in gift certificate money from a work bonus. This mall is over an hour away by public transit, but about a 30 minute drive, less than 20 with good traffic.

It was, by some site called gamesville. Bastards. Anyway, I tried various combinations of recipedia and recipaedia. Recipaedia.net, finally, was available, so I ( Read more... )

So apparently no one in the Threadless community thinks the slogan "Math is unrealistic." is awesome. I think it's just the bees' fucking knees, and want to make it real, in t-shirt form. Laura likes it too ( Read more... )

I'm waiting, right now, for 4 O'clock. At 4 I'll be in the VA courtyard eating free food and drinking free beer. At 6:15 I will be in the as of yet not FULL drawing 200 class. That could easily change before that time. Once I get to that class I have to make friendly with the teacher, bat my eyelashes, get her to give me written consent to be ( Read more... )
