Rob didn't buy an X-box. He bought a GameCube. ::flail::

We put together the colossus entertainment center yesterday. It looks very nice. Huge, but nice. I might get us some more glass blocks though because I'm concerned about all the weight. Rob said it should be fine, though, and since it's his gift (plus he'd have to help me dismantle it and put it together again) we'll probably go with his idea about it.

Of course, after putting together the first layer, Rob paused and announced, "We have to go to Best Buy. I need a new receiver. We should get a big screen TV, too, since this stand is so big." Men.

Well, he has his new receiver but we declined to purchase a new TV -- yet. We need to study the different models and such further. Although right now the stand does look a little like David Byrne from Talking Heads , all shoulder and a teeny little head. :)
