Posted on: January 12th, 2009 People like reading about the mundane lives of the every man: A tale of a guy who doesn’t leave the house.
The title is slightly deceiving, but only slightly, as the only time (apart from work) that I’ve left the house was over the holidays. Leaving the house then is on the edge of mandatory, unless you’re some kind of fucking family and friendless goddamned loser (I’m close!).
I went to a new years eve party at (gasp) friends of ours (ours meaning my wife and I). It was good times, lots of food and drinks, lots of interesting conversation and other such party things. I can imagine I would have had more difficulty having a good time had there been more people there. Baby step into a party.
We traded in the family Wii (I say family, it was actually a birthday present for my son. He never played on the fucking thing though), and got a shiny new Xbox 360 (pro). We had the Wii for 1 year, we’ve had the Xbox for just about a month, and I can say without any doubt the fucking thing has already been played on more than the Wii ever was. If you’re one of these people that really really wants a Wii and you’re spending an unreasonable amount of time trying to find one so you can buy it… stop right now, the fucking novelty wears off… fast.
Ubbbb… I’m trying out the new Windows 7 hoo-ha beta public what-have-you that was just released. I’ve gotta say, it’s fucking badass.
I haven’t experienced Vista very much, but from what I have experienced it’s fucking terrible next to this-a-here Windows 7. Hell, my wife even wanted me to put it on her computer, and she’s not normally very technologically adventurous. Especially if there’s a chance it might put her puter out of commision. I’ve also got to mention that her computer is not the most update piece of technology in the house. Admittedly I’m a bit of a fucking spoiled brat when it comes to getting new stuff, so she ends up with my hand-me-downs. Anyway, she’s running a single core old-as-fuck AMD 64 3400+ with 1gb of ram, and Windows 7 runs like a goddamned champ.
Coming pretty soon I’m going to finally finish the “virtual mixed tape” I started for my wife a while back. I don’t listen to a whole lot of sappy bastard music, so it probably won’t have a lot more of that on it. Maybe I’ll do it Mediocre Show six pack style and fucking bore you to tears with my monotonous commentary in between the tracks… who knows.
BAW.
