Crisis
I knew not to check my XBox, I knew it, but no, Cranky and Bella said it would be ok, and I had two laptops with me, so I decided to take the plunge, and let US Airways transport the machine no one has been able to pry out of my hands for months. As soon as I put the fragile stickers on my "G-Pak Xbox Organizer and Travel Case", somewhere deep inside, I knew I would never see her again.
Today I flew home to San Francisco, but my baby has not made it back yet. I have work to get done tonight, so it was a major inconvenience, but overall I was ok. I can replace the case, the machine, and the 7 games I was carrying tomorrow easy enough, but then I thought about the hard drive. Hundreds of hours of my life is stored on that machine. All my KotOR games, my Rainbow Six mission that took me forever to get through, my Halo games, Splinter Cell missions. I do not have the heart to start over. Please, please let it be on a later flight.

I can so relate to that: My Xbox had major DVD and then HD problems so I sent it in, asking the support guys to please make sure that the save games would make it. Of course, they did a complete DVD drive and hard disk transplantation. Of course, I was just so close to finish KotOR with its insanely big save games. And I lost those Otogi saves. And that game is as hard as it is beautiful. Had my gamertag, my Halo and TimeSplitters saves on a memory card, but that's been only a weak comfort.

I forgive you Cranky, but you owe me a drink when I am in Seattle next week.
