last week i watched a video online of a guy playing through "enter sandman" on expert and i told bryan i thought i could do it. not saying i'd get 100% on the first time through, but i thought i could do ok at it. he basically said "oh yeah, big shot? let's see it."

unfortunately we had moved our profiles onto the xbox in the living room, which i couldn't use because 1) it would require firing up the projector, 2) then there was the smell, and 3) now the living room is all torn apart from trying to patch up the hole around the a/c unit. so instead i was playing on the xbox in the computer room which only had bryan's spare account on it, which hadn't been played before, so "enter sandman" wasn't unlocked yet.
