My Shiny New Friend

Where does the time go. I can't believe how busy I've been lately. The only minor caveat to that is the thing taking up most of my time is a new little toy I like to call my Xbox 360. Yes folks, I was able to convince Debbie that the one item our humble abode was in most need of was a brand new shiny gaming console.
One thing Debbie understands is how hard I look around for deals. Well, this one was too good to pass up. Microcenter has a deal til the end of the month whereby you too can pick up and Xbox 360 Premium Bundle (Retail $499) for $299. Of course, to get this deal you have to walk into the store hopping on 1 foot while patting your head and rubbing your belly, but it is a great deal nonetheless. So, for the past 2 nights, I have stayed up to ungodly hours to revel in my new shiny friend.
Since we are cost-conscious, I only have 2 games. I've borrowed Burnout Revenge from a friend and then, with a 15% off deal, I bought Gears of War. There are several accessories I still want to pick up, but the deals aren't hot right now, so I'm holding off.
So, if you try to contact me and Debbie says I'm unavailable, I am either on the toilet, or playing my Xbox. Just an FYI.
