The New Experience

I didn't think today was ever going to get over at work. With gun season started and cold weather here, my work load has pretty much dropped off. Its probably going to be like this for a another couple of months. On my way home from work I stopped into Target to see if they had Lips in stock and of course they didn't so I hopped on into Gamestop. They had it in stock so I picked it up. I debated all day whether or not to get it but finally decided on yes to get it. I've played a couple of songs on it and I like it, I need to play around with it more to determine if Singstar is the better of the two. What I do like about Lips is the wireless mics that light up.

Before I could play lips I had to load up the New Xbox Experience. Then I had to create my Avatar. I'm not sure which is better the Mii's on Wii or the Avatars on Xbox360. The Avatars have a little more style and have arms and legs. After making myself on the Xbox I installed Netflix for the Xbox. This is what I had been waiting for the most. I've been using Watch Instantly on my laptop but when I do that I pretty much can't use anything else on the laptop. Now with it on the Xbox I can watch tv shows and movies from netflix on my tv and do work on my laptop. Now I just wish my internet was a little better speed wise so I wouldn't have to worry about the movies pausing while the internet speed goes down.

Crash

Yeah I was in a car accident....it was nothing too bad. I would say 10-12 cars. I was driving to work down west main and just before wkzo there was a patch of black ice and cars going in all directions. I thought I drove my way through it but at the very end I heard a bang so I pulled into little ceasers parking lot to check it out. My right rear bumper corner piece is broke with a decent size hole in it. I was very lucky since other cars had a lot more damamge. I had to wait around and hour and half for the police to finally get to me so I could get a report. I didn't get to work until 9:30 and man the day went by really fast. It pretty much snowed the whole day and I had about an inch to clear off my car tonight after work.

I'm playing some Singstar on the PS3 right now. I'm totally addicted to music games, especially the singing ones. Lips is coming out this week for the Xbox360 and I'll probably pick that up. I can't wait for Wednesday to get here. I'll finally be able to download the new xbox experience for the 360 and be able to stream netflix through it to my tv. I'll be using that feature most of the time. No more having to watch movies and shows on my computer. It'll also give me a reason to turn the xbox on. I think its been almost a month since I've turned it on.

Tonight I washed dishes with the dishwasher. I had been so anti dishwasher because it always left a nasty film on all the dishes. So tonight when I was at Wal-Mart picking up my lunch food for the week I boght a bottle of Jet Dry for the dishwasher. After eating tonight I loaded the washer and away she went. With the Jet Dry the dishes came out a lot better than they usually do. No more hand washing for me now. I've been converted.

Well back to Singstar...Oh yeah I made it into the Home beta last week. I was pretty excited, now I just need to start chatting and meeting people on the PS3. I need to be a more social gamer.
