I'm nearing the end of a drama project, it has been taking up a lot of time the past few days. Basically, last Monday, we were put into groups and we got to pick a movie genre. We have to make a short film at least two minutes in length in that genre to the best of our ability. The catch is that we only had two weeks to do so, and pre-production didn't go as smoothly as planned so the group I'm in has been under more than a little pressure, especially today. I've probably done around five hours of work on it today, maybe more. We had a double class plus we stayed after school filming for half and hour. I spent a lot of time editing and even more time transferring ...

I was just cleaning some folders out in my room, and I found this card that said Who is Dr. Cube? I didn't know, nor did I know where I picked up this card. Please return this tract to let us know that Dr. Cube is now your personal Savior. Feel free to visit Dr. Cube at kaiju.com for more information on this once in a life opportunity. I thought I had no idea what "Kaiju" was, either. I looked it up to find I did know what it was, I had just never heard this name associated with it before. Apparently Kaijū is the name of Godzilla-esq giant creature fights in primarily urban locales. So, heading to the URL provided, I discovered that the main story on the site is about Bloc Party, my ...

I suppose that if it had to happen, this was the best time. My Xbox 360 seems to be on the verge of eating dirt, so to speak. It started about a two month ago. I had to move my 360 to our basement because it was getting too hot upstairs. Nothing happened right away, but eventually I got a very infrequent game freeze. I didn't think anything of it, I had the 360 sitting right next to the TV with the power brick behind it, all in a tight space. I took the 360 out of the slot to let it cool down and moved it back upstairs. I missed the HD picture and it wasn't so warm then, anyways. The problems went away, basically. I've only ever had a few freezes with the console, but all of them seem justified. Since returning from holiday, though, my 360 can't play more than ten, twenty minutes, if that. I don't know why it's happened now, I unplugged both my Wii and 360 before we left, basically the only thing running was the DVR. The last time I could even load a game was getting two playthroughs of Jessica on Hard mode in Guitar Hero II. Luckily, I beat my old highscore and got five stars, which I promptly added to cherrypie. (More on that later in another post, maybe.) So, yesterday I was looking for fixes, even temporary ones. My cousins are coming over tomorrow and I'd like to have it running as they are fairly new Guitar Hero fans. I came across a number of things that basically all pointed to letting the console, and, more specifically, the power brick, breathe. Nothing worked, in fact, once I moved every thing, I got the Red Ring 'o Death as soon as I turned the console on this morning. I tried numerous combinations, hard drive in and out, no AV cables, even the towel trick. Nothing has worked. I was actually riding on the towel trick or something else working, I wrote the first half of this post earlier, hoping I could come back and say "And here's how I fixed it."
