Talk about a crappy weekend

It started on friday, when a telcon scheduled for the morning got moved to late afternoon.  This meant that it would after 5.  At first I was going to bail out at 5 and head to Zach's soccer game, but as we got onto the telcon, I realized that I really needed to stay.  After getting things straight with the wife, I pressed on.  After leaving work on the way to the second of Z's games fo rthe night, I got into a bunch of slow and go traffic.  It soon got much worse.  I ended up parking on I-95 for over an hour and a half.  Didn't get home until after 10.

Fast forward to Sunday.  After watching the Dolphins lose in the last minute of  the game, I turned in despondancy to my xbox to vent some frustration on the enemies of the Force.  (ST:TFU)  As I booted up, the game froze going into the opening sequence.  I thought 'that was strange' and rebooted.  Froze at the xbox 360 logo.  Uh-oh.  Rebooted a third time and got the dreaded red ring of death.  After trying to troubleshoot and realizing that it was not coming back from the dead, I tried to contact MS for a repair.  After numerous tries, hte only thing I got was - We're sorry.  We cannot process your request at this time. Grrrrrrrrr.

Finally got the request out today, but I am going to have to live without my 360 for some time.  I'm trying to work on the wife to get a new unit but no sucess yet.  Hopefully I'll still remember how to play when I finally get it bacl. lol.
