Oddball Update

This year, the Major League Baseball season opened in Tokyo, as it has several times now over the last decade. But Furman Bisher of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution doesn’t like it. Why?

In a startling display of quickness, apparently my Xbox 360 has been repaired. I missed the first attempted delivery by UPS earlier, but will be on the lookout for it tomorrow.

Well, the packing box for my Xbox 360 was delivered yesterday (which I discovered merely by chance, as the UPS driver didn’t so much as knock at my door), and I dropped it off at the nearest UPS Store this morning.

Well, it finally happened.
Knowing that my Xbox 360 was purchased about five or six months after Chief Oddball’s, I’ve been counting the days since his 360 died last year, awaiting my own console’s failure.

In case you’ve somehow forgotten, the all-new Knight Rider TV movie that all of us at Oddball Update have been waiting for is airing tonight on NBC at 9PM EST.
Part of me is intrigued, but another part of me is dreading it.

Thoughts, observations, etc. on playing The Orange Box for the Xbox 360:

Every time Dr. Eli Vance talked, I shouted out “Benson!” and began singing the Benson theme to myself.

So here I am again, emerging from another months-long hiatus to gush about a rock band from Japan. I did it last year with Puffy, and now it’s time for…Shonen Knife.

2007 has been a banner year for CD purchasing for me so far.

I haven’t really been big into gaming lately; aside from the upcoming BioShock, I’m pretty clueless as to what’s really out there now for the Xbox 360 (my next gen console of choice, or rather the one that I happen to have).

Yesterday I made a trip up to the supermarket for a few things, and what should I see in the supermarket parking lot but the General Lee! It had a rust spot here or there, but that didn’t detract from the overall coolness factor.
