Well, it's been a long time but I finally have found some new-to-me music that makes me excited! Yay! Some of you may roll your eyes when I tell you that it's Regina Spektor (click on "music" or "videos" or something). Kate Bush meets Bjork over a piano for old champaigne cocktails and French 75s.

In other news, my brain has been completely dominated (as per cleric pell of 4th level) by my newest toy: XBOX 360. I'm really pathetic. I have to set the timer when I play so I don't play until I get a headache and starve and my girlfreind leaves me. And I only have one game.

Just two days playing this thing though and I'm already in Micro$oft's evil clutches. Let's see: so, you want to play xbox games on the 360 do ya? Well, you need Xbox live. You can get a free version but it has no features and is totally crippled or you can pay $35 a month for something approaching what used to be free. You'll also need to connect to ye olde intarweb, broadband style. Wireless? No problem, the 360 has a wireless ethernet adaptor; you know, those things you see in Target for $30. Micro$oft's low, low price? $100.

Le sigh. Of course I could just pluck my eyes out or stare at the sun until I went blind. Quit playing? Not an option. The HD widescreen experience is too. much. candy.
