Dammit! My Xbox died yesterday. I was playing Knights of the Old Republic, zipping around the Black Vulkar base, when a slight power surge made the lamp twitch at the Xbox shut down. I went over to turn it back on and... nothing.

I've got a friend who might be able to get it modded (to replace the power unit), and that's a much better choice than getting a new one. Not only is it cheaper, but it means I don't loose all of my data.
Alright, so all I've got this time around is a review I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I also fixed a lot of out-dated HTML code on the Store pages.
However, for those that don't know, I'm doing another play right now. It's the easiest ASM gig I've ever had; there's no set movement, and there are very few props. All I have to do is yell at actors when they're loud backstage and make sure they get on stage on time. That's it. As a result, I'm sitting around backstage a lot, being bored. To remedy this, I've started bringing my laptop with me so I can work on the Lair instead.
So far, I've gotten a fair amount of work done; aside from all the HTML fixing that I did in the Store, I began working on something new (<cryptic grin>), wrote most of a new review, and made a lot of images which will be showing up 'round here fairly soon (another <cryptic grin>). This next weekend, I should get even more done, since I've got Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday performances. I've got a lengthy list of stuff I'd like to do, so I'm trying to kill that list while simultaneously working on the new section (and writing more).
In summary, the good news (that I mentioned on the evula.com front page) is that, while today's update is fairly small, next week's should be fairly substantial (I'm going to try to get some new Jokes up there, too; it's been far too long since I added some). If you have any suggestions, as always, feel free to mention them.
Sorry, but my next show opens this weekend, so I didn't have time to update the site. I should be able to next Monday.
Try not to act surprised that I'm actually updating the Lair; it's almost insulting. ;)
So, the only "big" things this time around are a new Review (that was supposed to get uploaded last time, but I didn't have a final rating on it), and a whole ton of new stuff over on my personal site. For those keeping track, I've since added a few more movies to my DVD collection, and in new additions to the site, I've added pages that list my Xbox game collection (all 4 games! Wow!), the webcomics I read, and a list of theatre shows I've done. The personal site is fast becoming a reference for myself that I just happen to let y'all in on, but hey, so what? :)
In tidy things around the site, I've trimmed the Copyrights page (Blizzard copyrights are now on the same page as everything else, as opposed to on a seperate page), and I've redone the layout on the Contact Info page.
In unrelated news, I also switched the default theme on these forums to Lair Standard, though SubSilver is still available for those that prefer it.
