Probably not getting an Xbox anytime soon. I went to Best Buy yesterday and bought a couple of PC games with one of my gift cards. I picked up the new expansion to Civ 4, Beyond the Sword. It has some interesting stuff in it, I've only played through once. I also got the Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth Anthology. It has LOTR:BME 1 and 2, as well as the expansion for 2, all for 40 bucks. I thought that was a pretty good deal; I had been looking at getting one or the other for a while.
So, I have some new PC games. It won't let me play Halo 3 or GTA, but I'll live. And I decided I don't really like NCAA football anymore, they've messed with the recruiting system so much and still haven't fixed the ridiculous discipline system. ("I know you killed somebody, son, and it's going to get us into big trouble with the NCAA, but I just don't have enough discipline points left to sit you for a game.")

This blogging thing.
I just want to say that, even though I am starting a blog now, midway through 2007, I was truly way ahead of the curve.
When I was in Brazil, I was making what would probably now be considered a blog. I called it, creatively enough, James in Brazil. I coded it in html, even though I didn't know html very well, because all these easy blog software things did not exist. It wasn't great, and nobody read it because I didn't tell anybody about it, and this was before Google had taken over the universe. I don't know why I was doing it. I guess because I could. I don't remember what service I used. I don't know if it still exists somewhere. It was a long time ago.
My point is this: I am not behind in starting a blog; in fact, I was way ahead.

I want an Xbox 360. I think.
My mother and grandmother sent me $50 gift cards to Best Buy for my birthday. So now I have 100 bucks to spend at Best Buy. I really want to get a next gen system. But now that they have dropped the price on the PS3, and now that it has been revealed that the 360 is a deathrap (well, it malfunctions alot), my previously unshakeable 360 fanboydom is in crisis.
The reality of the situation is, I can't afford either, and if I didn't have the gift cards, I wouldn't even be seriously considering either. I will probably end up buying the new expansion to Civilization IV and some CD's.
Bah.
