My repaired Xbox arrived a few minutes ago.  It even came earlier than expected!  Now I finally get to play that Force Unleashed demo I heard about (it's taking for-freakin'-ever to download).  I have to say that even though I know a lot of people have had horror stories about this repair process, my experience was thankfully easy.  I'm also really glad there was a free one-month Live card in the box.  I would have been pissed if there was no compensation.  Like when you go to a restaurant and the server totally screws up your order, you should get your drinks free or something like that.

In other news, my son started at a new daycare today.  He's been out of a daycare for about 8 months.  My wife and I had to pull him out of his last one because their policy on biting sucked and our son was apparently every child's favorite to bite so for about 3 days in a week he came home with new bites and big bruises from them.  So we stiffed them the 2 weeks tuition we were required to pay for pulling him out without notice.  Thankfully at the time the classes I were teaching were night classes so I could stay at home with him during the day.  Then the summer came and I didn't have any offers to teach classes in the summer.  Complete disappointment, but I stuck around with the kid b/c it saved us about $500 a month and we figured that was good enough savings for me to take the summer off.  I'm not sure why I'm rambling at this point.  Anyway, he started today and didn't cry when I left.  Though he did try to escape from the classroom to explore.  So now I get to look for a job and take care of more housework than I did before.  From this experience all I have to say is being a stay-at-home parent is not as glamorous or as fun as you think it might be!  

Anyway, I've got one possible job lead.  It involves going to parties and taking pictures which are then uploaded to a website for the party-goers to look at and buy from the company.  Since I'm in a college town there would be lots of Greek parties to go to.  Hopefully I can at least do that and get some cash.  

Well, I see that my Force Unleashed demo is at 97% so I'm going to shut up now and go play.

I bought my 360 last friday and got oblivion too so im just started out with it. Same thing happened to me, everyone else has moved on since beating it or whatever. Yeah, the game is slow paced and it needs getting used to. Its still a great game, best rpg of the eyar award and all, it at least merits being checked out either PC or console versions.

Oblivion was so boring that my dog hung herself while watching me play it.

"Sling your poo elsewhere, my friends, the King is not listening to your blather." You are my new hero, I had to be oppressed by that fascist attitude everyday in chat. I raise my glass to thee and say thank you dear brother! Now I swear I just heard some nirnroot around here somewhere.

An evening with Oblivion sounds like a great idea. It has been a while. With my wedding and moving coming up so quickly, I only have time for brief BF2MC sessions. Since my fiance has her bachelorette party tonight, I think I may hop back into it.
