In the process...

Well, my dear Xbox 360 has arrived in Texas at the repair center.  I bet it will probably be another couple of weeks before I get it back.  Just to have a bit of fun with the repair guys, I taped a letter to my console telling them to take good care of my dear friend.   You know, I never realized how much I depend on that thing to keep me busy during the boring times. 

I normally play after my wife and daughter go to sleep at night for a few hours.  For the past week,  I've kissed them goodnight, walked into the living room, and said "shit I don't have an Xbox to play". I suppose I could pull out my PS2 (nah), my PSP (groan), or my Dreamcast (hmmm NFL2K...).  Too bad I left my Wii at my friend's house for the past 2 months (you see how much use I get out of that damn thing).

Someone on the internets once said that the Wii was a viral console.  Your friend buys one, you go over to his house and play Wii Sports, and you get hooked.  You go buy one, another one of your friends comes over to your house to play Wii Sports, and they get hooked and purchase one.  Two months later after you've all played Zelda and Mario, you realize that the other games suck, and the console sits under you TV next to your DVD player you never use.

Damn, I need my Xbox 360 back....miss you bud..../cry
