I had a weird dream. I dremt that Armaan and I (and other random people, it was a minivan) were driing Bill Gates around and talking with him. I don't really remember much of it, only that he had an annoying laugh and when asked about Mod Chips he said that the Xbox 360 would be impossible to mod because the filesystem wouldn't support it....

an odd dream.
