Mmmm... Xbox 360

I finally bought an Xbox 360 yesterday.  I was going to wait a while and just buy it with my paychecks... but I have nothing to really do this long weekend, so I figured I would just dip into my loan.  It'll all be replaced within a month anyways....  It'll take that long because Derek (my boyfriend) and I decided on getting an elite.  Partly for the storage space, and partly because it is black, and black is much, much cooler.

Derek got Mass Effect and Command & Conquer 3:  Tiberia Wars.  I actually like C&C, I used to play Red Alert when I was younger.  Also, this game has nifty cut scenes with actors I recognize, which is incredibly weird... I even saw Lando today.  Not to mention my favorite fox from House.

I bought Viva Pinata, which is super cute and probably meant for children.  I actually had a lot of fun playing it though.

I'm just glad I finally got a next gen. console that has state of the art graphic capabilities.  I mean, the Wii is amazing and has such an innovative interface, etc... but.... let's face it - same graphics as the Gamecube.  S'okay for some games - wii fit and a lot of their cutsey games, but I sometimes want something more visually stimulating.

Derek also bought Halo for Xbox, because he hasn't ever gotten to play it and always loved the multiplayer when we used to go to friend's houses who had it in high school....  I'm hoping he reaches a stopping point soon because we need to go grocery shopping badly.  I'm making a chicken-pasta dish tonight and I need ingredients.  We're also out of soda and various other eat-ables.

...and I know if we wait too long we just won't go... and then what will I eat?...

I have a major craving for iced chai right now.  My friend, Adil was supposed to create a recipe for authentic iced chai, but I don't know if he ever got around to it.  He had a busy summer.  I could really go for some, though...  I'll probably just buy some black tea at Dominick's....

...If we ever go....

I love you Xbox 360, but you further distract my boyfriend from his priorities.
