The (DS) lite at the end of the tunnel

So, I had a bit of a dilemma.  As you regular readers know, my "extra" funds have recently been destroyed.  So, Im on track for a 360 early next year.  Now, interestingly, Im getting a $100 Mastercard giftcard at work for some extra work I did for marketing.  With that dough, and the little I have left in the 360 fund, Im going to buy a DS Lite and a few games.  Reaction from my clan was interesting.  Some felt I should not get a DS and should instead put the dough towards a 360 - even though I still couldnt get it until next year most likely.

With all the travel I do, a DS Lite just makes sense.  Gaming goodness on the road.  Plus, it will give me something fun to do on those really long conference calls.  But, in the tradition of all big companies, my gift card will arrive via mail "in 4-6 weeks."  1 week down.  Im hoping its more like 4 and less like 6.

I also have a small nibble on a better job at work.  Not holding my breath at all on it, but it would be more money.  That could help the 360 fund tremendously.  Fingers crossed.

Game on.....
