Target 2011

By Iain 4 January 2011Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

On True Achievements.com I have set myself a target of 60,000 Gamerscore this year. That's a gain of around 10,000. It's a bit of a different scenario from last year. Unlike last year, having funds to purchase new games won't be a problem - but unlike last year, I won't have unlimited free time to play these games. I've also…

2011

By Iain 1 January 2011ReflectionsNo Comments

That came around quickly, didn't it? 2011 already, wow. Well, we didn't drink any cocktails this year, in fact, we went to bed early as we were both suffering from Swine Flu - not the best way to spend a New Year's Eve. Anyway, to 2011! I hope it is prosperous and joyful for you all.

Pink

By Iain 30 December 2010Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

It was Michelle's 30th birthday bash earlier in the week, it was a fancy dress theme (more specifically, a pink fancy dress theme), and my oh my, there were some crazy outfits on show. We were quite refined, Jane and I, we went as Gangsters, complete with a pink tommy-gun. Jane had a whale of a time, doing all the…

Not goodbye yet

With reference to this - She's out of hospital and home now, it was just a scare. Still, a pretty nasty scare to have, eh?

Goodbye for real? I hope not

Gran is in hospital, suspected heart failure. This and this. It was so sad to say goodbye to her then, I hope this isn't goodbye for real.

On the desk

By Iain 12 December 2010Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Oh, hi. Work is going well - I recently had my two-week review thing and expressed my concerns that I was not being used to my full capabilities, and lo and behold, I was put on the desk yesterday to get a feel for it, with a view to reorganising the Music and Video department. It's a pretty big mess,…

Happy Birthday to me

By Iain 8 December 2010Books, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I am now 32 years old, and I'm sure I say this every year, but I don't feel a day older than 25. My loved ones got me some smashing gifts. Jane got me Fable III, which, due to me working, she has played more than I have. Mum got me the new Rangers shirt, it's so nice, and a…

An update on my activities

By Iain 6 December 2010Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

It's been a while since I've had the chance to sit down and write about what's been going on in my life, but don't panic, this won't be a massive, over-long post as I've not been up to much. My new job at Asda is going well, although I don't feel I'm being used to the maximum of my potential.…

Fucking snow

By Iain 2 December 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

Well, that was a massive disappointment. Due to the snow I've not been able to get over to see Mum - that's twice in a year those little frozen fuckers have ruined a trip to see my family. I want to see how Jasmine is getting on, talk to my brother about things and I was looking forward to opening…
