My 360 has died! I installed the latest system update and GoW update, and now I'm stuck with a dead console and a coffin on the way. Boooooo....

Yes, I know. It's been a while. Don't worry, I'm not dead, just busy. Busy busy busy.
Shit, I just wasted time typing out 3 busy's.

This Is Too Weird Not To Say Anything

I suppose I should open up a new category and file this under useless banter, but I've developed a rather interesting condition. In the right side of my chest, I've developed a painful area. I'm not sure if something got bruised or what, but putting pressure on it with too large of a breath or certain contortions of my body results in the pain being activated. I've also got a case of the sniffles. And here's the interesting part: I can't sneeze. Not at all. What happens is when I get right up to the point that I'm going to do the actual sneezeing, the painful area in my chest gets pushed on and causes my body to spasm away from the sneeze to avoid the pain. As a result, I can't get to the actual sneezeing part no matter what I do. Not even if I want to (which I do!). Odd, to say the least.
Sorry to bore you all, but I needed to get that out.
Berfday!

Just so everyone knows: tomorrow is my birthday. We'll be doing dinner with a closer group of friends on Wednesday (at Brio) and a bigger, more inclusive party on Friday. The party has grown in size to need a venue change from my apartment to the "foreigners'" (a group of my friends who are visiting grad students at Tech) new place.
In other news, Neowin's running its feeds through FeedBurner now. The stats are absurd:
