My Xbox has been temporarily revived!  I played Battlefield 1943 tonight with Ian and it was delightful.  I helped Japan to victory numerous times.

There’s a bit of graphical static that probably means that this new fix is still only temporary, but I’ve had my work (which was taking the heatsinks off and reapplying the thermal paste) rewarded with two of days of relatively solid play.  I am certainly counting the days, though, and not thinking of this as a permanent fix.  As the Elite is rumored to be price-dropping soon, I may be able to sustain my old 360 for just enough time.

The Prestige continues to be a page turner and work continues to be quite the learning experience.  I almost feel, with the basics I’ve been learning in 3D modeling and the systems and tools used on the team, like I’ve only just arrived.  It’s exciting, if a bit scary.

I need to drink more.  I feel dehydrated.
