I love my husband to death–and you guys have to know I’d adore anyone who puts up with my wacky-ass crap. I really do.
However.
At this moment, he is rapturously watching footage from the last twenty games of Halo 3 he has played on his Xbox 360. He is doing this in between matches with his ‘clan’ or whatever they are, and they are all online and chatting via microphone.
I have never witnessed anything so defining of the word ‘dork’ in my life, seriously. Anyway, I have to go, because right now is my ‘treadmill time’. I have to work out at home this week because the base gym I frequent is shut down to get a new roof. There is another gym, but it’s at least a five minute drive from my work, which is too far. Also, since it is raining and cold here, and I have been doing my running on a treadmill, I figured I might as well use the shiny treadmill I have in my house, bought especially for rainy and cold weather. Also, I can watch dvds on it. I’m almost all the way through season 3 of The Office for the third time.
Speaking of dorks, and The Office, there was a first-ever Office Convention in Scranton PA this past weekend. I amazed myself at how depressed I was that I couldn’t go. To a specific tv show’s convention. Ridiculous, that. In a way…even worse than old video game movie footage.
But not really.
Tschuss!!

the sad thing is after reading this, I realized how much I need an xbox 360.
Support the rabid.

I wish I could throw our Xbox 360 out the window. At least I have the girls convinced that I don’t know how to work it so when Bubba is traveling it doesn’t even get turned on…

kari - it’s not so bad when like…the girls are eyeball deep in homework or chatting with their friends and i’m on my laptop, but still…he’s a dork.

I believe that video systems are the Japanese ways of getting us back for that “thing” in the 40s. “I take your husband and “chirrun” by them locking themselves away and playing games! Heh.
Happy Halloween!

So do you actually play the 360, or do you just own microsoft stock? Or do you just like encouraging the dorkiness?
