Most listened : General Jamiroquai stuffMost played : Resident Evil 4

Current mood : Content

I’m feeling very content with myself ATM. Life’s working out nicely. I’m getting less hours at work so that means I can focus on doing the important stuff, holidaying. I reckon that so far my holiday has been great but this Designer Impulse stuff teamed with a sufficient flow of hours from work has kinda made me lose sight of what I should be doing. I’ve started focusing on more lifestyle tasks, I don’t need to worry about organisation, I can just focus on the meat.

I also feel really pleased that I’ve almost capped off the Gamecube and Gameboy Advance’s little era. I have almost all of the essential games for both consoles. A few years back I was rather concerned about this but it has all worked out.

I’ve also been watching a bit of anime too, Chris and I are working our way thru Beebop, Matt and I are watching Hellsing, I wanna get tucked into X and at WGA we are watching GTO and prolly something of Mels. I’m also reading the second volume of GTO the Early Years which is fantastically hilarious. An I can’t wait to get the Original GTO manga set.

I’ve also started going back to reading novels. I’m reading The Eleventh Commandment by Jeffrey Archer. After that I’ll prolly read the 3rd entry to his Prison Diary.

This week Matt came around on the Wednesday and we had another WGA at Cam’s place. Although the surround sound wouldn’t work, so we didn’t watch much anime. Instead we just played some games and spaced out a bit. Probably wasn’t as good as it could’ve been.

Tomorrow I have work for a few hours and I gotta do my yearly vision check. I dunno whats gonna happen this week, Matt reckons that he can have this BBQ any day really and then we have this retro games night, where we just play old games. We planned that at the last WGA a bit too. There should be plenty of great games there, we’ll prolly have 2 setups, one being an N64 and the other being a SNES/Megadrive(Genesis) set up. We’ll probably alternate between a Wii with virtual console games and a Psone. Unfortunately Chris and Myself sold the NES for a SNES and Matt also sold his. Everyone else was either in the Sega camp or didn’t have one. I also noticed that Cameron has a few old Megadrive games that I use to play and Mel has Street Fighter 2. Crazy. Oh and we gotta do this thing with Chris and Rob too.

Anyways, untl then.

Most played : General slew of Wii games Current mood : Tired

Happy New Year to you too. Things are winding down and falling into place. Which makes the transition into a new year even more exciting.

I’ve had a rather solid week really. Due to Christmas and the post Christmas sales Ive had quite a number of hours at work so that has kept me busy. I only have a few hrs this current week which is fine with me. On Christmas Eve I had a really draining shift, I worked until 6. I had a bit of trouble just before the shop closed at 5pm. You see a customer wanted to purchase a table tennis table from us. So I checked it all out and we only had the display model set up. So I had to pack it up for the customer and get it down stairs for parcel pick up. Unfortunately I didn’t realize that the table was poorly designed. You see it was basically 2 separate tables with a pair of wheels one end and normal poles on the other. The wheel sides went together and were screwed together by a weak plastic reinforcement. So I quickly undid some screws and the hinges(in 2 parts) seperated as did the two tables, then it fell to the floor and the plastic reinforcements still screwed to the tables snapped off. Argh it was terrible. After sorting thru the damage everything was fine bar those bloomin’ hinges. Anyways it worked out fine in the end, which was the good thing.

The following day was a much better one because it was Christmas day! Much like every Christmas I had a fantastic day. We exchanged presents in the morning and went to the Grandparents place for lunch and tea. This year I didn’t get any game but got plenty anime which was great. Theres not a lot to say really, it was just a great day with the family. The meal was my favourite yet and everyone had a great time.

Boxing day I just organised stuff and had a play around with some of my presents. Worked the following 2 days for most of the day. I had a bit of a break on the Friday and got my PrimeScape template finished. We also had the rellies around. Then I did a bit of work and stuff over the weekend and went to Cams for a new years eve party.

It was a nice and relaxed party which was really pleasing. I also gave out a few Christmas presents to people as I had secretly organised that. Got some prints of us all taken off and then gave it to them. I got to bed at about 3pm (supposively), Chris got an hrs sleep and Cam didn’t.

I think that this month should be better than be last for spending time with my friends. Theres a number of key events that are on the backburner which we’ll prolly do.
Anyways, thats it for now. PrimeScape should be up in a week or so. Chris’ blog is up, you can check it out @: www.nexfinity.net
