I don't get it, this launch 360 has worked perfectly since 2005, and now I have two failures within a few months of each other.

This is of course, hot on the heels of my PS3's spectacular hard drive crash.

I'm keeping one eye on the Wii now. I'm waiting for it to burst into flames.

Damn it all. :evil:
It was a "fat" 360 then?

BTW, the Wii gets random pixels b&w popping around the screen as the GPU starts to die from over-heating. Happened to my launch Wii about 6months ago. :cry:

Awesome, and good luck. My Sister soloed when she was 15, and although I never soloed, I did take off and land when I was 13. Nothing quite like it.

Detje has a little lump on one of her titties. Will have to sterilise both of my cats, get rid of the lump, and hope Detje's condition doesn't get any worse. Sigh, as if their chronic lung problems weren't enough. Don't wanna lose my honeys. They are the only family I've got...

On top of that, the whole procedure will cost me at least €270. Ouch...

Smiled - looked at a house last weekend in my price range that is almost perfect for me and my girlfriend.
Ticked - Just got burns all over my right hand because a lady at work ran into me in the hallway because she wasnt paying attention, then tried to blame me for it.

Ticked: Sleep schedule has been ass for the last two weeks. Last week I kept waking up after only a few hours of sleep in the middle of the night (unusual for me) and then I was up for the rest of the night/day until I'd fall over again miday. Now it's a bit more stable with me falling asleep and staying asleep, but it's back to me not falling asleep until like past 4am. Ugh... damn unemployment! (that security desk job didn't work out).

Also missed some calls back on a job this morning but returned them. So that's a small smile there, careerbuilder and I think tweaking my resume really did something, got a lot of calls last week, really good interview, and some promising stuff that might be around the corner finally. Crossing my fingers.

Good luck! I hope something finally comes around! :)

I freaking hate the post office. The mailman mangles a graphic novel I ordered by shoving it into my apartment mailbox when he could have used the much larger package box, and somehow when I complain about it it's my fault, because I didn't tell the guy I've never seen on eBay to write "Do not bend on the package." I can't even log a complaint on their website either, because it doesn't fit into any of their complaint categories.

I went to Dairy Queen today to pick up an ice-cream freezee for Katie on the way home from work because she said she was craving it. I went through the drive-thru, and it's nearly 100 degrees out still, and the guy hands it to me overflowing without a lid. Really? What happened to common sense?

I guess I have to add a smile here, don't I? My cat made me smile today.
