So the festive season is complete, and I’m back at work.
I had a really good festive season. Spent some time with the family, and time with Trang’s family as well. Spent an awesome couple of days with my dad, beginning construction of a new entertainment cabinet, which became particularly relevant later on in the holidays. Now all I need to do is finish it!
But I am, as you can see from my gamercard, really enjoying my 360. Especially since I bought a 42″ LCD 1080p TV. It. is. AWESOME.
It’s a Hitachi L42X01, in case you care, and I’m pretty happy with it, as you can tell. However, the HD tuner built in has a baffling omission: you can’t delete single channels from its database. Which means that I’m currently stuck with 20-odd channels of crap I don’t care at all about, with about 10 channels of crap I care slightly about.
I’ve also just ordered a component cable for the original xbox today - I don’t know if I’ll try to move my movie-playing functionality over to the 360 or not - probably not at this point.
So, you may have noticed I’ve updated the theme.

So, I had the best birthday EVAR!
Awesome presents, great party, and great friends made for an excellent birthday weekend!
Plus, I’m an Xbox 360 owner now. WOOOOOOO!
This image is from 4chan’s /co (comics) board. I think it’s completely, and utterly true.

I don’t think it’s possible for an image to contain more win than this.

I sure hope I don’t get Paul Bunyan’s disease and transform into a giant lumberjack!
And I wish I had a gorilla receptionist!
UPDATED - I stand corrected.
Dr McNinja is a webcomic. Rock on.
Haha! No updates in a long time means it’s difficult to start a post again, but I’m short-circuiting that by making references to the problem in question. Self-referential, no?
Anyway, I’m stoked because my email got published in The Escapist. Wooo.
But I upgraded my PC, so that it now runs FEAR super nice. There’s just something about nailing a guy to a wall in slow motion that makes me feel better after a day of fixing stupid people’s problems. A cutting people in half with a shotgun is cool too.
So much shit going down at the moment that I don’t know where to begin. So I won’t. I’ll post more about everything later.
