Up and down

After all the excitement of last week, this week has been a bit more reserved, not a lot has happened and it's been very quiet. I was on a bit of a downer early on in the week, I expected it after the massive highs of last week to be honest. I picked up Burnout: Revenge the other day, it…

Stuff what I read in May and that

Hello there. This is what I thought of the books I read in May. May Contain Traces Of Magic By Tom Holt As usual, the universe that Tom Holt has created for his writing is very well realised and utterly believable, but this book centred around the main character's lack of knowledge about the situation he was unwittingly in, which…
Ten years

Ten years

Ten years ago to this very day, Jane and I decided to become a couple. It seems like less, maybe six or seven years, but it's been the best ten years of my life. She is beautiful, and I love her so much. I can't begin to contemplate what a horrible direction my life would have taken if it weren't…
Moon Juice and Marriage

Moon Juice and Marriage

We went to Maggie and George's house today for the after-wedding Barbecue - the purpose of which was so that everyone who was not invited to David and Katie's Wedding itself could celebrate their happy occasion. The rain stayed away, and although it was a bit windy, it was a lovely day for being outside. We arrived early, and my…
My brother got married today

My brother got married today

Jane and I went over to Southampton in the morning - it was strange, as we were making the journey on the train it didn't feel at all like we were going to a wedding later that day. It only felt like a wedding when we went to meet David at his hotel to "get him to the Registry Office…
So that was Lost then

So that was Lost then

I left this post for a while on purpose, just so I could let things sink in. Overall, I think the ending could have been much, much worse. At first I didn't mind the whole church ending scene as I was a bit shaken by all the slow montages of the Islander's remembering their time on the island, and watching…

Dead bunnies and easy games

One of Claire’s rabbits died earlier in the week. They had been smelly for the past few weeks now, and when she finally got around to cleaning the hutch out, the poor thing had a huge abscess full of maggots. It was really quite something to behold. She rushed off to the vets with it, only to be told it had to be put down as they had eaten all the way through the rabbit’s abdomen and up to it’s lungs and was pretty much gonna die anyway, whatever they did. So that was exciting.

I sold some stuff on the eBay earlier in the week, so had a bit of cash to spare which I used to get some Microsoft Points. I had it in my head to get 5 Arcade games that were 400 points each, and a new song for Lips. Here’s what I ended up with and what I thought of them:

Quiet week

It's been quite quiet, not only on here (which makes a change - I usually find something to write about) but also life in general. As such, I've not really got much to say. Still no luck on the job front, I've had a few interviews recently, and a few good looking prospects, but still no job to show for…

Lips

Yes, we finally got around to it. After years of deliberating about which singing game to get, Jane and Claire went halves on Lips: Number One Hits with two microphones. We had a quick dabble last night and it was ok, but when we properly set it up with my Gamer Profile earlier today (it was a sneaky way to…
