Quantcast



I am writing this particular post at 2 a.m. in the morning, and so at this moment my 360 controller, which is sitting right next to me, is looking like it might make an excellent pillow. I'll just rest my head here and then... oh god! The joystick is in my ear! The joystick is in my ear! I need to get to a hospital. Perhaps I should have gone with something more akin to the above image (be prepared for shirtless nerd if you follow that link), then I wouldn't be bleeding profusely from my head.

Sadly, that amazingly comfortable looking pillow was simply a one-off creation from a loving and caring girlfriend (my fiancee fell back asleep when I asked her to drive me to the hospital). The pillow was made by Crafty Heidi for her man, Joe. It gives him lumbar support, but if you want lumbar support you'll have to go elsewhere. You know, like ebay. Here you can find some far less sizable, but still shaped like a 360 controller, pillows. Maybe you could save that money though and send it to me. I have a feeling that removing a 360 controller from one's head might be pricey.

I was going to ask how you went from an xbox pillow to a gay orgy, but then I remembered I was on the internets.

This is a remainder for girlfriends everywhere of how much they FAIL at the GF/BF game.

With life just begun, my sleeping new son
has eyes that roll back in his head
They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart
and pictures a world past his bed
It's hard to believe
As I watch you breathe
Your mind drifts and weaves

When you dream,
what do you dream about?
When you dream,
what do you dream about?
Do you dream about
Shooters or fighters
or planets too far for the eye?
Do you dream about
Hackers or Western Role-playing games
or wondrously red rings of death?

Perfect for Ninja Gaiden. Instead of chucking your controller against the wall you can just pound the pillow in frustration.

"2 AM in the morning" is totally redundant.
