Guitar Hero!!!!!

Last Friday when I got home there was a delivery note on the ironing board, this normally means that something is too small to fit into our mailbox. Excellent Guitar Hero is here! I tried to control my excitement, after all it would be at least a day till I could pick it up and play it.

So on saturday, after a drunken night at Al and Jayne's, I dragged myself out of bed, for the now weekly trip to Ikea. But before we went to Leeds, we stopped by the post office and I picked up my package. It was indeed Guitar Hero, it must've been, as I hadn't ordered anything else to be delivered to our new address that would be that size! I put it in the back and off we went. An hour or two later and my Dad was loading our new cupboards and bits into his car to take home for is. Unfortunately Ikea had sold out of drawers for our shelves, so we have two huge cupboard 'shells' with only clothes rails across the top, and the rest os them are empty.

We got home, unloaded the car, drilled lots of holes in our walls, mounted a shelf and coat hooks in the hall, and a curtain rail in the living room. I bought doors for our bathroom cabinets, but no handles, so we need to buy some of those. Once everything had been drilled properly, my Dad left and I got to making the bedroom cupboards. Viv was cleaning the kitchen up and hoovering as the Dudes were coming round that night. Once I had finished my jobs I finally got to open Guitar Hero. It was excellent, the mini-gibson guitar even came with little rock stickers to give them that authentic rock guitar look.

Viv had finished up so we put dinner on (Ikea Meatballs!) then she went to put her makeup on. I seized the opportunity and tried out the game. It was amazing! Even though I only tried 'I lvoe rock and roll' on the easiest setting it was still soooo good! I didn't have time to try out anything else so we put it away and had dinner.

Minutes after we'd finished the doorbell rang and our friends were there! Immediately the boys asked about Guitar Hero while the girls got in the kitchen making drinks and baby food. I turned Guitar Hero back on and the night began. The only time the game was off was to try out BUZZ! The Big Quiz, for one round, then it came back out. Everyone wanted to play! There were nearly fights over who was next, even from the girls! It continued till half three, when everyone left, but Viv kept playing till four!

The next day was a mix of Guitar Hero, shelf building, cleaning, Guitar Hero and food.

It is a most excellent game. I've gone on about it before I even had it, but now it's here it's fantastic! I can't wait to get another controller so I can thrash against Viv in a titanic axe battle!

Reading Festival Lineup SUCKS ASS!

I saw the lineup a few days ago and OH. MY. GOD. It blows. It sucks. It is the very definition of suckage.

I mean come on! What kind of headlining acts are Muse, Franz Ferdinand and Pearl Jam. This was supposed to be a metal festival, what the hell happened? Now take a look at Download Festival instead: Tool, Metallica and Guns N' Roses, that kicks ass! Even the next line down from the headliners is more awesome: Deftones, Korn and Prodigy.

I've been to the Reading Festival for the last 7 years, it's become an event amongst my friends, it pretty much IS our Summer Holiday, plus it's a chance to meet up with some old friends, and see a bunch of cool bands. But this year I don't want to go. I'm not gonna pay £200+ to go and sit in a field for 3-5 days and get drunk with my friends, I can do that at a campsite for a fraction of the price, plus have clean toilets and showers!

Sorry Reading, your cool and all, but that lineup is pitiful. I'm not Indie, and I'm not Emo, I'll go to Download, where the metal is. It's been great but it's time to move on.

RIP Reading Festival (1999-2005)

Nearly there!

Hopefully alot of things are going to be finishing soon: The working week, our trips to Ikea, our unpacking, fannying about with boxes and crap. The sooner it's over the better.

I'm so glad it's Friday, I've been knackered this week, mostly due to unpacking and being generally busy during the nights, I don't know where we're going to fit going to the gym in, but I'm really not looking forward to starting to go in the mornings, although it will give us more time in the evenings. We're going to need it with all the cooking we're doing, yet another thing I can't be arsed with.

Our final trip to Ikea should be on Saturday, my Dad's gonna turn up later on and take some stuff home for us if we need it. We should be getting our bedroom cupboards then, we also need the bathroom cupboard door, as we forgot to get them last time. Dunno exactly what else we need, but I said to Viv we should make a list and we havent, so we'll inevitably forget something!

My Dad is also going to sort out our shelves for us, so we can get our final one set up between the other two. This'll give us some much needed shelf space and let us unpack the final few boxes. It's gonna be sooooo good once we get everything away and can finally check out what our flat is actually going to look like.

Gordon Frohman, A guy winning a threesome and some comedy!

Yep, all in one amazing post!

First of all Gordon Frohman, yes, not Gordon Freeman of Half Life fame, stars in a Hal Life 2 orientated comic over at hlcomic.com. This comic is great if you've ever played Half Life 2, the jokes are superb, theres also some Couter Strike and Lost Coast jokes if you've seen them as well. Funny stuff.

Next is this guy over at www.helpwinmybet.com/, where the guy bet his girlfriend he could get 2,000,000 hits on a site. His girlfriend didn't believe him, so she bet a threesome that he couldn't do it. Last I saw he was pretty close and likely to go over the winning mark at any minute, with about 1,000 hits a minute! He also said he may try and get her to go double or nothing, so is that two threesomes, a foursome or a fivesome?

Finally some good old football fuck ups. See the video here

Weekend Update

Over the weekend we got quite a lot done surprisingly. Friday was a bit of a disappointment, but as we had stuff to do Saturday and needed the car it was probably a good thing. Ben was ill so we didnt go round to Sarah and Glenn's.

Got up pretty early on Saturday and headed into town, moving money around and stuff, it was also my birthday! Unfortunately no birthday head for me though, and all my presents have been converted into IKEA vouchers for later. We went to tescos on the way home and got some stuff for the house. Housey stuff you never really think about, like bins, toilet stuff, draining racks, crap like that.

Then I spent all day assembling shelves! YAY! Just what I wanted for my birthday! But they were all done and I got to watch Ice Age later. The dudes came round for our house warming, I got one of those plug in your TV controller game system thingies with a few cool old school games on it, so now I can play Sonic and Golden Axe! My friends know me so well... Everyone had to leave quite early though as Glenn was ill and Jayne and Al got a lift home.

Sunday was just as uninteresting and I don't think we did much. We went to Tescos and bought stuff for our Thai Curry. Our first 'proper' cooking attempt! Then we went around to my parents house to drop off the dyson (Oh yeah, the red candle dropped off the TV onto our new white carpet, Double YAY!) and to sort out our loan. Then we went home, made dinner and slacked about.

We got up early on Monday, my day off, so we would be up in time for the storage guys to get here, as they were supposed to be here around 9am. So we got up and then when they didnt turn up phoned at about 10:30am. Turns out they'd got their days wrong! They were coming tomorrow, which was great as we were at work then. They ended up delivering the stuff at 7:30pm, and we wasted our entire day. Triple YAY! We got some stuff unpacked before going to bed.

So tonight I'm back to assembling and unpacking, should be fun! Hopefully we'll be sorted by the end of the week.

More Clerks 2!

Theres a new trailer up at You Tube, see it here

This is looking pretty promising, I was hoping Kevin Smith wouldn't fuck it up after Jersey Girl, but it's looking funny and every clip I see is making me want to see it more. Fingers crossed it's not a disappointment!

Darth Vader conquers Japan!

Darth Vader is apparently alive and well in Japan, taking on the police is two funny videos that can be found at You Tube.
