After this weekend's debacle, I figured it couldn't get much worse. Of course, the universe decides to prove me wrong. I bought a wireless adapter for my Xbox 360 about a week ago and it arrived two days ago. Today I decided to try set it up. Seems like a simple and great idea. Plug it into your Xbox and you can connect wirelessly to your network and stream music and videos from your PC. I had a problem since the only ethernet cable I had runs about 100+ feet; ten of which I need. So there's 90+ feet of cable laying around waiting to cause an accident. This adapter would eliminate all that mess. Sounds like a great idea right? Fairly easy to set up. Plug in and go.
I was very excited to watch all my shows through my Xbox without having to flash everything and then plugging it in. So continuing with the story, I plugged everything and I was good to go. I turned on my Xbox and it froze. No big deal. It's happened before a few times. Turned it off and back on.

Not as bad as the RROD I guess, but still. You never want to see that happen. So now my Xbox is dead. Clearing my weekend schedule (as if I actually had plans to clear anyways) to fix this bastard so all my Xbox stuff doesn't go to waste. If nothing works I still haven't ruled out buying another Xbox. One that will be legit in case I do get the RROD. I already regret flashing my Xbox. I don't even play that many games on it and the ones I do play I wouldn't mind waiting for them to get dirt cheap to buy.
I was so ready to forgive the events that occurred this weekend. I said to myself, "It's all just material things. They can all be replaced." And then, my Xbox dies. What a horrible month for electronics. And my laptop died?! What is going on? We're only half way through the month! The universe is testing my patience.
Until next time,

that sucks. I hate when electronics don't work the way they are supposed to. Becomes a huge time and money drain.
LoLed when I saw that bald head though. Keep up the good work so I can laugh myself some six-pack abs
that bald head is gross.
yeah technology is so great, when it works. it's just so frustrating when they don't though...
