Finally buckled and bought it. Between all the Live Arcade games, add-ons etc, I'll finally be able to install more than one game at a time. I also bought the gf a bunch of Valentines Day stuff which I can't list here in case she's lurking.

a small cheap table to use as a racing wheel stand. It would be almost perfect if it wasn't so damn wobbly.

I also got my Logitech G9 mouse in the mail, which was amazing since I ordered it yesterday and with standard shipping. It's pretty awesome and has more features than uber options setpoint.

House of the Dead: Overkill, Deadly Creatures, (pre-ordered), a 32" Philips 720p TV.

Alright, what's the deal with power supplies for the 360? Can I use a 203W PSU even if the system is a "Falcon?"

I got talked out of buying a TV (my brother's is about to be repossessed), a PS3, and a netbook.

I did end up buying Skate 2 and Mirror's Edge.

A 30 pack of Keystone Light.

He still owes like a 1000 dollars on it, and I can go out in a store and buy a better TV for less.

Just got home from buying a new 2009 Toyota Corolla XLE. The picture isn't the actual car, but it's same color and style. Picking it up on Saturday.

It hurts so good when you bend over and spread your cheeks for Microsoft, doesn't it?

The worst part was re-downloading all my Live Arcade and add-on content. Took at least three hours, because it was spread over two drives and you can only use the transfer kit for one, and most of my larger stuff is on the drive I keep out at the lake.

I just bought an outfit to wear to my Teach For America interview tomorrow.

Man, you know how fucking difficult it is to find an outfit in my size? I'm 5'7" and 135 lbs.; I'm short, but I'm not a midget. But places like Macy's quite literally don't carry men's clothes below size Medium and it's incredibly rare to find a pair of slacks in 30x30. But my shoe size is 9 so I was easily able to find a pair of Oxfords there. I went to Men's Wearhouse to get the rest of the goods: slacks, a shirt, a matching tie, and a belt. The only pants I had previously were cotton, the only button-up shirts I had were casual, and the only belts I had were for jeans.

In the end, I spent $250 on the whole ensemble. Better than the $600 for the only suit I could find that fit me off the rack. But Christ my wallet is hurting.

You were using two hard drives? Life sure is going to be luxurious in comparison with this new drive.

I know my 120GB makes me feel like I finally have a house big enough to pile all my useless shit into.

He seems nice enough, but he's Japanese and into Ballard and industrial music and Burroughs and shit, so he's probably just nice up until the point where he starts raping you.

That would explain how he's written like 20 books.
