Jump In!
ok so its not the NEW me but it is my avatar on xbox live.
for those of you who dont know Xbox Live was recently improved.
the Dashboard has a new look that features stuff like comunity spotlight and upcoming events as well as all the old normal stuff.
you can even link your gamertag to your netflix account and watch streaming movies
if you dont already have a netflix they give you a free trial but i dont know how long it is.
and of course most notable change are the avatars.
you can customize them and are pretty much the same thing as a Mii (of Nintendo Wii fame)
and when you want to play a game together with your buddies all your avatars join an xbl party. this way its basically easier to join their games in progress or isolate voice chat so only they can hear you.
i gotta say this update has been quite a blast!
but if all of this is too overwhelming for you.... just press the Xbox guide button and it bring up a small version of the old Dashboard menu blades.... just in case!

Year of the Reinvention -or- Change Ain't Just for Obama
Ok... now its time for a couple by those F.O.B.
- Overture - Devotchka - Good! mix Danny Elfman and eatern european stlye poka music (its good, dont be afriad!)
- Opening - Danny Elfman - Good! hes no Price or Stewart but this is his baby and its good to hear him on the narration for once
- This is Halloween - Marilyn Manson - Great, same as the one on the 2 disc NBC soundtrack a year or so ago
- Jack's Lament - The All-American Rejects - Passable. i say this because they apply their own style wel enough, but they lose feeling in the sadder parts of the song. injecting your style is great, but dont lose the point of the song
- Doctor Finkelstien/In the Forest - Amiina - Good. its instrumental and sounds great, similar to th original but with a twist
- Whats This? - Flyleaf - fail. they miss the point of the song, once again injecting your style is great but dont lose the point of the song. its supposed to be about an inquizitive and exciting new thing jack discovers, and her vocals sound lazy and disintrested.
- Town Meeting song - The Polyphonic Spree - Fail. this song is simply painful to listen to
- Jack and Sally Montage - Viatamin String Quartet - Good! very faithful but a great way to listen to the song with just a dash of difference to make it interesting
- Jack's Obsession - Sparklehorse - Fail. also painful. its not only painful to listen to but breaks up the vocals making them awkward. ignores the feel of the original song too
- Kidnap the Sandy Claws - KoRn - Great! im not a fan of KoRn, in fact i actively dislike them. but i have to say they successfully add their own style without changing the song. good job
- Making Christmas - Rise Against - Great, same as above, they are decen about controlling their angst partailly without sounding foriegn to their natural style. they capture the intensity of jack in parts of the song, good job
- Nabbed - Yoshida Brothers - Great! almost completely different from the original but the Mandolin sounds incredible, more proof that different can still equal great
- Oogie Boogie's Song - Rodrigo y Gabriella - Great! with no words even! spanish guitars play all but 2 lines in the whole song, which are the only vocals. daring, bold, and different
- Sally's Song - Amy Lee - Great! worth buying the album for. Fiona Apple's version was good but her vocal style can sometimes be too morose. Amy captures the intensity of Sally's doubts without making her sound suicidal. and shes got some pipes on her too
- Christmas Eve Montage - RJD2 - Great, a treat to listen to, a DJ doing a remix of the song making it seem very edgy, yet faithful. i can listen to it all day
- Poor Jack - Plain White T's - Good. The vocals can be a bit tiring at times and i have to deduct points for trying to simply copy the original, but they do play it well and definatly capture the emotion
- To the Rescue - Datarock - Great! so fun to listen too, especially with the music that plays during the fight with oogie boogie! can also listen to it all day!
- Finale/Reprise - Shiny Toy Guns - Great! take what i said about RJD2 and add good vocals. faithful while different, also very fun to listen to!
- Closing - Danny Elfman - Good. Same as i said about the opening
- End Title - The Album Leaf - One of the most faithful songs on the album but a very good way to close it off. anything as different as some of the others would leave me feeling less nostagic i think.

Balloon Fiesta day 2 pt 1
the balloon fiesta was cancelled late friday night and all of saturday was cancelled.
instead of doing that on sat we went to eat brunch with my girlfriends family
we went to a place called golden pride.
apparently all they do is breakfast burritos, fried chicken and ribs lol.
the chicken was good though.
so after brunch there we decided to check out and head home early.
so here we are, about 2 hours into the 4 hour journey back home!
hope yall missed me!
cause momma.. momma im comin home!
Balloon Fiesta day 1 pt 3
unfortunatly during the launch of the special shapes one of the balloons, shaped like a triangle hit a power line and the 2 pilots caught fire as their gondola caught fire and fell from the balloon.
sucks to think of something like that happening
a florida news crew apparently got video of it but it wasnt shown in its entirety for fairly obvious reasons.
after all that it was naptime.
jesus was it nap time.
after that a trip to the mall where i browsed as my brother spent his whole check
i saw a master chief hoodie ive totally got my eye on now, and a cd of famous artists re recording the entire soundtrack from the nightmare before christmas.
and that is so win!
thankfully thats all for day 1.
stay tuned for day 2 happenings!
