Currently in Dallas: Cloudy and 58 degrees.  Much better, Texas, thank you.

So, as if to give me the starkest of reminders about where I live, on my way in to work on Monday I was diverted by a herd of longhorn cattle in the middle of St. Paul Street.

Let's just be quiet for a minute and let that sink in...

Yes. Very good. Moving on then... I've discovered I have to get an Xbox 360.  Crap.  Normally, this would be good news, and, eventually, I'm sure it will be.  At the moment, though, it's going to require a fair bit of finagling, and maybe some off-shore gambling.  Such is the nature of knowing people who make video games.  And good video games to boot.  Maybe I'll have to get the game first, to make sure I'm supporting the cause, and then figure out how to get the actual machine later on.

God, what a silly proposition.  Sadly, I may wind up doing just that, such is the extent that I will support my friends.  Besides... Xbox 360 am shiney...
