So, the snowmobiling trip was completely awesome... up until about 2am Sunday morning. Stomach started hurting so much I couldn't fall back asleep, had to go puke at 7:30am... laid back down until 10am or so, then got up, dressed, and stumbled upstairs. (Keep in mind, this is all at a YMCA camp, with a bunch of other people about my age) I ended up puking 2 more times there before I finally cou...

...until I'm done with class for this week! Then I need to try to finish up whatever homework/reading I have, and I'm free. Probably some video games tonight, but tomorrow... I'm going snowmobiling!! All weekend!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm really just doing this for quest stuff. Kinda funny that I'm doing it in class though. :)

So, this is maybe just a little bit late, but I totally have a 360 Slim. Bought it a couple weeks after they first came out, once the Gamestop near me finally got a second shipment it. I somehow managed to get in on the awesome trade-in deal they had going at the time, but not quite as I had planned. I wanted to trade in my old 360, while it was still going... unfortunately, the dude behind the...

So, my Xbox succumbed to the RRoD last night... again... but hey, I fixed it! Again. :D Same thing as last time... took it apart, cleaned off the CPU and GPU, gooped it up with some thermal paste, and put it back together. Normally, I'd start playing it... but I'm gonna leave it for tonight, since it's going to be the last night I have it (hopefully). Why's that, you ask? Well, tomorrow after w...

So, been a while since I've done this... lots of stuff been going on for me. Big thing is, I've moved into my own house (with a couple friends), which has been exceedingly awesome so far. Not just living with people I actually chose to live with, but living in a city. Where there's actually shit to do . Like... movies, or going out to eat, or walking down to the Farmer's Market (street fair typ...

So, I found a place to live... well, technically, a friend found it. Moving into the upper half of a duplex, downtown Green Bay, with a couple friends. I guess one of them grew up there, and his mom is moving out of the place we're moving in to. Rent is surprisingly low, but it's also a very small place... my bedroom is basically a glorified closet, which kinda sucks... but it'll be nice to liv...

I need one. Not for the typical, "I want to see the future/change the past" reasons (although there is definitely some things in the past I'd like to change). I just need more time... Let me back up a bit, here: I'm taking more credits this semester than I have so far in my university "career," 16 credits... which at first glance, doesn't seem like some insane amount, considering I've been doin...

So, my 360 red-ringed a few days ago... check the previous blog if you want details on it. One of the guys that was over that night had his 360 red-ring a month or so ago, and tried fixing it himself for reasons that will go unexplained. His didn't work, but his still had some leftover parts, which he gave to me, along with some thermal paste. He came over yesterday, we took it apart (mostly hi...

So, my Xbox 360 finally succumbed to the Red Ring of Death earlier tonight. I know, not a huge deal, everyone on the internet has had it happen to them at least 4 times... but this one is mine! It's a launch-era chipset (manufactured 2006-4-11 according to the sticker), and until now it's mostly worked fine. Sure, it's had the occasional lock-up on some games... and this really weird problem wh...

So, this whole blog thing didn't exactly play out like I imagined it would... oh well. xD Yesterday, I finally achieved something that, honestly, I didn't believe I would ever be able to do when I bought the game... I unlocked all the achievements in Rock Band 2! :D The last one I had to unlock was the Bladder of Steel... play through the entire Endless Setlist 2 without pausing or failing... o...

Woot! First web log post. So yeah, I'm gonna to work in a few...3rd shift :( Oh well, at least I have a job. Eventually, if I remember (very likely) and have time (not so much) I'm gonna try to make a big post of songs I want in Rock Band. Otherwise, this blog will probably never get anything on it...besides this one. Yeah.
