As I headed into the Thanksgiving Day weekend, and for the remainder of the year, my sessions on XBL were not as good as they had been through the first three-quarters of 2006. I just think the group of friends that I had played with was starting to move in different directions. The trend seems to have reversed somewhat over the holiday vacation time, as a few of us got into Call of Duty 3 multiplayer, which I think is shockingly better than most of the media gives it credit for. Additionally, a few of the guys got RB6V, and enjoyed playing some of my favorite mode, which is Cooperative Terrorist Hunt. I was able to get a lot of things done over the last weekend of the month, including cleaning my disgusting bathroom. On the technical front, I did a major overhaul of my website, www.gearwerkz.com, and reconciled and made backups of my iTunes database (although I still have the Backup PC to do). I've also had some time on the side to nearly finish my viewing of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and a few episodes of Nash Bridges.
