"Penguins don't come from next door! They come from the Antarctic!"

Head-achy. Late night. Not-so-early morning.

Today there is much cleaning and tidying up to be done. Why? For no particular reason other than the fact that my apartment is: a) dirty, and; b) messy. Which won't do. So I must roll up my sleeves (well, no. I'm wearing a t-shirt) and get to it. After I'm done browsing the net, of course. Gotta do my browsing. It's my God-given right as a citizen.

My Xbox is acting oddly. It sometimes refuses to boot up DOAX (see below - you know, the one with the bikinis), and it's making strange noises. Not good. That would be the second console I have with hiccups. My GameCube - which took a nasty tumble to the ground a while ago - skips when playing Eternal Darkness and, sometimes, Super Monkey Ball. There's no good reason why the Xbox should be acting up, however, aside from the fact that it's had trouble with the Buffy game as well. Maybe it just doesn't like games with female lead characters? I'm starting to think there's a connection. It's bloody irritating, that's what it is, and with my now severely reduced budget for luxuries (anything other than food and bills), I can't afford to replace either console. So I'll have to suffer. In not-so-silence. Ack.  ¶ 13:08
