Wow its been over a week since I’ve written in here. So much has happened but I have continuously put it off as I haven’t been in the mood to write. Thats the thing that I’ve noticed about these holidays is that I’ve thrown the daily routine out of the window and am focusing on doing what I feel like and just working at that. Its easier to progess in something if your in the mood for it.
It doesn’t matter about my lateness of posting as no one will read this until I upload it. I think that I might just set up a vanilla wordpress set up and then get everything ordered so at least people can read what I write.
Last week
Anyways so what has happened. I had a haircut on Monday, spent the rest of Monday and also Tuesday working on Designer Impulse stuff, the template and also preparing a super secret staff splash screen. I also got GTA SA (finally) working well on my laptop. I installed the latest drivers to start off with but that didn’t fix it. So I rolled back to the previous ones and then cleared gta_set and it worked. But now I get 2 alerts when I start windows stating 2 seperate missing dll files. Argh.Ah well I’m pleased that its actually working well.
On the Thursday Chris and I picked up the Wii and a few items to boot:
- Wii console + Wii Sports
- extra nunchuck and controller + Wii Play
- Red Steel
- Zelda TP
- Super Monkey Ball 3
And we played that all afternoon. On the Friday Matt came around for the whole day, 11hrs I think. He stayed for lunch and tea.
I was relieved to have a good weekend to myself, well so I though. I only had 5hrs, which was kinda odd. But I was called in to work for both days, all day. It was insanely busy. I don’t seem to be getting as many hours as some of the other electrical staff. Its always been this way I think. As we are all the same age and I am the least experienced. I should be fortunate though as another staff member got 48hrs this week. I couldn’t bare to work that much.
And today I went to bed early in the morning as I was on the net reading up about stuff on Wikipedia. I’ve registered and hope to somehow contribute in some way. I was researching Australian and American retail outlets, brand names, lingustics and anthropolgy.
Today has been a fairly short one for me. Working on some Metroid Prime 2 which I was stuck on this time last year and hadn’t finished it on Hard mode. Going to John’s tommorow. Working Wednesday night. As for the rest of the week its sorta up in the air. I’ve tried to organise another of our anime watching sessions(WGA). But people are free except for the day in which someone else is busy. So someone would have to miss out. So its too hard to figure out. But I think Matt is organising to see Casino Royale with Andrew, Chris and myself. Ah the old days. And I also need to finish up my Christmas shopping and may need to buy some anime for Matt’s folks to give him for Christmas. So I may as well finish up that business this week so that next week something will work out.
I reckon that I’ll post another entry later on about what I think of the Wii. Its great and all but I haven’t touched Zelda or Red Steel yet. I just wanna clear out some of the games that have been plaguing me for the last 2 years so that I can start a fresh on the stuff thats come out this year. I’ve cleared off plenty of titles so far, around 5 titles which is great. Wanna clear Metroid Prime 2 and the GBA Pokemon titles. I know I’m playing these games over new games like Zelda. When discpline overides common sense eh?
