Continuation from this AM

Caffeine assimilated. Insanity adverted.

So the main problem is the fact that once again, I am shipping my 360 back to Microsoft for repair. For those of you that don’t remember, the DVD drive died a while back. Luckily, I’m still under that 3 year window for the flashing red lights problem. I’m going to give props to Xbox Support today. As mentioned above, I came home to the “3 Light Red Ring of Death” last night on my 360. Once the grouch beast was tamed this morning, I attempted to submit my repair online. This became difficult as I’ve changed email addresses on my Live! account since I last registered the system. Long story short (and a 20 minute phone call to Xbox Support, mostly spent because of me trying to track down my old mailing address), the girl very easily transitioned my registered email address. That was pretty frikin’ cool. I figured I would be on the phone for hours trying to track down the right person who would know how to do that. As if you can’t tell, I prefer talking to computers instead of people for support. So, now I wait for the shipping box to show up and Microsoft to ship me out a new system, just like last time. Whoopee. The rest of my “numbered list” was just annoyances of little things you hate having to wake up to. My Comcast internet connection has always been flakey, at best. Sometimes I wonder, with all the environmental factors that set it off, would I have been better off with satellite? ;)

So, yup. I’m back in the fold. My goal at this point is to post something weekly. Now, I could sit her like other bloggers and rant about the economy, or the government, or what some other blogger has posted. But, I tend to avoid all that here. I’ll give my opinion, and occasionally a link, but don’t expect anything too personal. Also, being that I have the potential for a whole new class of readers, I’ll try to keep it much tamer this go round.

BTW, I now respond to "Bubbles”, and I’m pretty good at juggling chainsaws… naked. ThX, MJ! ;)
