There are pros and cons to this arrangement. Basically, I can be as loud as I want during the week’s permitted hours since the people above me will be as loud as they want Friday and Saturday nights. I’m really ok with this exchange since I sing in my room all week long and they drunkenly sing and stomp on the weekends. Works for me! They will have to be careful about chanting “chug, chug, chug” though since the RAs will be less impressed with that aspect of their party. They’ve even got a good mix of music up there and their drunken singing is certainly entertaining. While I am a morning person these days I can easily adjust to going to bed later (2:50-4ish am) on these occasions since that lets me get some more gaming in. Since school started I’ve been really good at budgeting school time and gym/sports time but I need to work in some more ‘me’ time so I can continue to be a happy productive individual :)

To that end I’m thrilled that my internet has been working consistently and I went to pick up a cheap hub the other day so now I can keep my 360 online too. w00t. I’m kind of annoyed at Microsoft right now though. I picked up Forza 2 and the wireless wheel a while back and then I heard about the retrofit. I sent in my form weeks ago now and I haven’t heard a peep from them since. Boo. However, since my 360 is online I was finally able to download the backwards compatibility patch for Jet Set Radio Future (my sole original xbox game) and it rocks. Fantastic soundtrack to boot. In other good news the NHL season has finally started and the opener in London, England is almost over now. Man, that Bernier kid (Kings goalie) is something else. 19 years old in his NHL debut overseas against the defending cup champs (Ducks) and he nearly gets a shut out.
