Well, Jeremy and my attempt to get a cool place has failed miserably. At this point we are left to look for more places. This really blows for two reasons, one was because that place was awesome and we would have had a blast living there, second is that I am not in the "hey this is where cool places to live are" loop so I don't feel useful. Since I don't have the time to look around (jeremy, how is saturday for you to hunt down places) during the week I can only do my online searches. But cool places are hard to find online. I looked at some of the xpensive lofts on the other side of the high way and they are, well, expensive. Donkeycock.

I've finally progressed past the third novice level in Raibow 6. I also have been able to relive one of my favorite pastimes, watching people play games since mikex0r is playing Gaiden almost every day. I forgot the ups and downs of watching your friend play a game you know little about. It certainly is a lot of fun. I feel confident saying my game is a little harder than his, however that is only because his in his game you can get beat around for a long time and then "heal." There is no healing in RAibow 6, if you get shot once you could die depending on where they hit you. This makes the game a bit more frustrating. Regardless, I must say that this Xbox expereince reminds me of the old days of Nintendo when games required skill to win them. I certainly would not have guessed that Microsoft would be the one to take me back to that level, but they have and I am impressed. We will be getting more games soon for the Xbox, however only if they are live enabled. I want a more fun, Crashbandicoot-esque platformer but this machine doesn't do those well. Until then I don't use live as much as I shoul because I am intimidated by the difficulty of the game and my lack of time. Speaking of lack of time I need to get ready for school. Talk to you later.
