Obsessed with Res' Golden Boys. Why? I have no idea. It's not a great song, not really, but it's taken permanent residence in my head, and I can't help but listen to it again and again. It's, in a (bad) word, "funky". It's the perfect sun's-out-let's-play pop song. It's light. It's got a beat and you can dan-- Well, you know what I mean.

Next Friday, I've decided, I'm buying an Xbox. Why next Friday? Why not today? I'm glad you asked, Jimmy. Because, you see, that's when Microsoft reduces the European price by a lot. In Norway, the Xbox currently sells for 3.995 Norwegian kroner -- that's the equivalent of around $465, way, waaay, waaaaaay too much for a black plastic box. I didn't plan on buying an Xbox at all for a good while yet, not until it had more than one or two games worth playing, but now the temptation is too great. I geek out sometimes when it comes to consoles. I have to have them all, though I usually wait six months, when the price's gone down, they're easier to get hold of, and there are more games available. Funnily enough, I don't actually play that much anymore. There's so little time, and when you spend 8-10 hours a day working with games, there are often more important, and more inviting, things to do when you get home. But when a game like Grand Theft Auto III is released, or Halo on the Xbox, it's fun to spend a weekend holed up in the apartment in front of the TV. So...when the Xbox drops to around 2.495 kroner, $290, (or less) next Friday (hopefully), I'm there. Probably. Unless something very expensive happens in the meantime.  ¶ 15:52
