Reflection and free time

A couple weeks back I mentioned going into some detail about the transition that occurs when traveling between China and the States. I still don't think I've got the proper wording to really explain it here, but I am working on it in my spare time... which is now going to be dwindling thanks to the addition of an Xbox.

We finally caved after learning that our roommate and business partner, TPB JR, would be moving to Shanghai at the end of Chinese New Year. His console sat dormant for months, wallowing in its own shame, brought on by the infamous (in gamer's circles) 3 red rings of death. It only recently was rejuvenated for our gaming pleasure, and in doing so, ruined any chance of engaging in mentally stimulating free time activities.

Well now that the old dog console is leaving us for greener pastures, ie: Tom's new Shanghai digs, we decided to bring home a puppy to play with. This baby packs enough time wasting power to strike fear into the heart of even the most liberal parents, and nestled in the apartment of two young self-employed bachelors... well I don't think much further on it.

This is the first game system I've ever purchased, and I'm a bit excited and rightly so, my wallet was quite heavy, and with all of its contents no longer weighing me down, I'm free to stay up past my bed time and play mind-rotting games.

I'd continue blogging but, you know... video games.
