Xbox broke, Lady Gaga, and heat!

Past two days at work were so very boring. I find I spend more and more time just reading articles or Final Fantasy XI message boards. We're in a lull right now I think but work should pick up very quickly after Christmas, or so I hear.

My Xbox 360 broke... it won't recognize any disc in the tray, so it's either a problem with the lens or with the drive. I contacted Microsoft and I'm having it repaired/replaced for about a hundred bucks... Sucks, but it's something I just have to do. At least this one lasted me 2 years.

I finally got the heat in my apartment working, yay! I just had to hit the little reset button.. so now I know it won't be cold here anymore.

So now I'm watching the new Scrubs premiere, waiting for my xbox to get repaired, and figuring out how many months it will take me to get a new computer to play FFXI (I miss it so much!).

5 facts time:

1. I'm still eating the enormous amount of Halloween candy I bought over a month ago.
2. I put Christmas lights around the place and on my fake tree, although the ones on the tree went out already...
3. I think I'm addicted to Coke Zero.
4. I think I'm addicted to Lady Gaga. Downloaded her first CD recently and Bad Romance, so good.
5. My student loans just went into repayment status... FML. Called today and got a bunch of them graduated, so that will help.

tired.. must.. go.. to.. bed

It's really late, I should already be in bed. But of course it's been a few days since I've updated so I should post now I think...

I've generally been in a good mood this week, even though like two days ago I felt the cold shoulder from Josh as he played an online computer game with his brother from the moment we got home from work until bed. I know it's just me being mental. We've been playing xbox for a few hours here and there, not too much at all.

Last night I reactivated my mule Final Fantasy 11 account. I'm finding i'm going through withdrawal in anticipation for Final Fantasy 14, so this will hold me over until then at least. Anyway, this will be able to entertain me on nights that I need something fun to do to save my sanity.

other than work and that last tidbit, not much else has happened. I messaged someone on Okcupid who had been visiting my profile, and I got a positive response, and now i'm waiting on the 2nd response. Hopefully that goes well. I'll of course give more info about him if it goes further, I don't see a point going into it now.

Josh's new bed came today. I honestly think he paid too much for it and I think he could have found another bed like it for cheaper if he looked harder. I found one much similar that I'm going to get in a few weeks that is about $900 after shipping, which is ~400 or so dollars cheaper. I have the money now, I just want to have a cushin after I spend it. After I get the bed my new focus will be a gaming PC most likely from newegg.com. I'd like to be able to run FFxi well on it as well as any game Josh wants to play as well as FFxiv when that comes out.

Death Row

Yesterday after work Josh and I played CoD4 most of the night. Afterwards i went to check on my Final Fantasy account and couldn't log in; I got a message saying LM-17 YOU ARE BANNED!!! So I called Square Enix today and they tell me I was banned for real money trading, which isn't true. They filed a complaint for me and now all I can do is wait to see if I get the ban lifted. I can't believe how dimwitted their "Special Task Force" (what they call their RMT hunters) are for this atrocious display of customer service. I've been playing for 3 years now and put in countless hours and I get wrongfully committed. Kind of like getting put on death row and being innocent. Well, not that harsh, but i'm sure you can see the similarities. I guess this is a good point to quit, since I've been thinking about it; I just didn't want to go out like this.

Today after work I took Josh to the DMV to get his CT drivers license. I would have but I couldn't find my identification. It was so busy we had to wait 2 and a half hours, which almost shot the night.

We came back and watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in my room. God that movie is good. The end makes my eyes water every time. Josh liked it a lot and now we'll have to watch the 5th one this weekend. I purchased reserved seats for the 6th movie already for next week. Surprisingly a lot of the seats were already taken a week in advance, so I'm glad I got good ones while I could. It'll be my first time in the director's hall, which from what I've heard is very nice.
