For various reasons, I've been kind of stuck at home these last couple of months. Not including the trip to Dallas where I was stuck in my brother's home for a week watching kids. Circumstances have made it so that, not only am I living at home again after a year in Virginia, but it's somehow just me and my dad. My brother moved, taking his four kids to Dallas. My mom filed for divorce and moved out. And now my sister has gone to Dallas to help my brother with the kids for a more long term situation.
Don't get me wrong, I love my dad, but I'd much rather be working and able to live on my own. Still, I'm doing what I can. Cooking, cleaning, etc. Unexpected awesome, the cat really seems to like him, and despite his claims of not liking animals, my dad seems to like the cat.
Anyway, it was a nice change of pace today when he decided that we needed to go to the racetrack and bet on the horses. Neither of us picked any winners, but it was still fun.
Now, about a week ago, I decided to connect my old xbox 360 to see what I could play. Upon connecting everything, and turning it on, I got what appeared to be the dreaded red ring of death. That, and an error code that I promptly looked up. Remember, this thing is well passed the warranty, and I'm broke as fuck. So today, I finally cracked the bastard open and fucked around with its insides. The results?
