Halfway.

[dewinged]

Well, I still have tomorrow off, which is cool. I have a couple of things I need/want to do, so with all the laundry I'm doing right now, I should have the free time to concentrate on what I want to. Not entirely sure how much I want to be doing, though. With too many things, I start losing coherence.

As for the wedding/reception, I got through it. I went to the reception only, since there was 5 hours between ceremony and reception, and I did some stuff around the house (like, nap). And, depsite everything, I had a good time. Of course, I drank enough White Russians so that by the time 9:30 rolled around I was ready to go out and kick Moose and Squirrel's asses. :)

I was okay until the last few songs. A mix of dance and slow songs that made me really, really wish I had someone there with me. I think Dad picked up on the melancholy (if not the reason why), and asked me if I wanted to go. So I wasn't home all that late.

Also, thought. I was talking to Rae the other night, and we were discussing video games. I don't do this often, and I'm behind as it is. But, the PS2 is down to $199, and I'm considering it. If I didn't have to pay my insurance deductable to get my car fixed (Which I got back Friday, YAY!), I'd be considering it a lot more. Maybe when my insurance company gets the deductable back for me...

This is true, from both of you. Granted, I did like what I saw for the commercials for Devil May Cry, and Rae was raving about Hunter to me the other night (We /do/ have to talk more.) Though, the main attractions for the PS2 are the fact that I can still play PS1 games, and the DVD player. I don't have one of those. :)

PS2 and X-Box both play DVDs. For either to play DVDs halfway decently, one really needs to pick up a DVD controller (read: remote) for about $30. It's a necessity for the X-box, and just makes life much, much more convenient for the PS2.

Additionally, the X-box comes with a 50,000+ block hard drive. That's a lot of memory cards one doesn't have to buy.

No, I'm not a big Gates fan, but the X-box has a lot going for it. Including the fact that Gates loses money on every single one sold.... :)
