It is definitely turning to fall here and it is messing with my head. I feel like I should be moving into a dorm or getting ready for band invitationals or buying textbooks or something, but I'm 24 now and that is all in the past now. It doesn't help that all the stores are now pounding the Halloween stuff so it almost feels like middle fall instead of the very beginning.
I made an attempt to do something productive weekend but it didn't get off the ground, as the standard time everything closes in Oregon is twenty minutes before I get there, so I spent most of the weekend enjoying my new HDTV setup. I managed to clean out the last two major achievements in my racing game on the 360, and I watched the Back to the Future trilogy on my new upconvert DVD player, which was awesome.
Unfortunately I have not as yet incorporated TV into my HDTV setup, so I won't be catching the new Heroes until I can pull it down from a torrent. I'm more excited about the new series of Top Gear in two weeks anyway.
However, amazing as the setup was this weekend I just figured out that the 360 needed to have settings changed so it could do 1080i, when apparently I had it set to 480p. So when I thought my racing game was too pixelated, all I had to do was crank up the settings on the Xbox. Oh well, at least it only took me a few days to realize that. The higher resolution settings only work as widescreen for some reason, but that just takes getting used to.
