God of War 2

This looks hot! I've never played the first game, but apparently it's awesome. It's also the sort of game I like, so I'll definately be getting it eventually:



I have a huge list of games I want to find. As I've only just got a PS2 I'm well behind on all the games it has for it, so I'm trying to track down Silent Hill, once again I never played the original, but theres a collection out of the PS2 games, which doesn't include the PSOne first game. I really want to start at the beginning, but the first game is bizzarely hard to track down... I mainly want to do this as the movie is out soon, which I'm going to see, but I like the look of the games as well.

I also want to try out one of the Dynasty Warriors games, beating up hundreds of men at the same time is just cool! As well as a lot of others I've missed, which are really cheap now. I have to do something until the Nintendo Revolution comes along!

St George's Day, Blackouts and a 28oz T-Bone Steak

Sunday was alllllllll good. Apparently it was St George's Day I discovered after most of it had gone past. I don't see why it is the Irish get so excited about St Patrick's Day, but no one else bothers with their own saint's days. It's not like George couldn't have Patrick, he killed a Dragon for God's sake, that's much cooler. Most people don't even know what St Patrick did! We should make a bigger deal, and have Dragon Burgers and pint's of warm beer or something.

As we were coming home in the Taxi on Saturday night there was quite a large blackout over some parts of York. It was a bit weird as the streets were all dark and the traffic lights weren't working, which was interesting. I've not seen one that size in York before, I hope it doesn't become common!

I went out for dinner with my parents, my sister and Viv on sunday Night, as it was my birthday 3 weeks ago and we hadn't had a chance yet. We went to the Nag's Head near my house but the power was out so we went to the Agar Arms instead. The Agar Arms is in the middle of nowhere around York, but it's food is excellent. I ordered a 24oz T-Bone Steak, but they didn't have any, so I could either have a 16oz (2 sizes down), or a 28oz, the largest. So of course I went bigger. The steak was fantastic, I got a nice sauce with it as well. It certainly is a lot of meat! But I think I could've had more, I should get in training!

In the middle of a Chain Reaction!

I love little videos like this, even though this one is 12 minutes long. It's lot's of little set up chain reactions, while their not quite as long or as good as that Honda car advert from a while ago, it's still pretty smart and well worth taking a look. Some of the ones in the middle are excellent.



On the other hand not a lot else has happened really. I've been a bit more active at work, but not a lot is really happening. I'm playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on the train to and from work, it's an ace little game with a nice sense of humour. I'd recommend it to anyone with a DS, while I wish it was a little harder, or had some different routes you could take to get to a certain point, it's a pretty straightforward game, but entertaining anyway.

Refreshed

I'm back after a not too productive weekend to be not too productive at work. Seriously though, I will step up my work tomorrow, I just had so much to catch up on!

I now have a phone line! I just have to wait 5-7 working days till I get Broadband. As I'm an optimist I'm going for between 2-3 weeks, that way I won't be disappointed. I can't wait, my own personal broadband connection! Then I will be complete!

As far as housework goes I finished off the bathroom cabinets and set up my computer, I've stuck stickers on my Guitar Hero Gibson SG, done some hoovering and rearranging... And that's about it. It doesn't seem like much when I say it like that...

We're nearly unpacked, just a few boxes left, which will disappear once our bathroom cabinets are stuck to the walls and our drawers have been purchased and stuck into our bedroom cupboards. It's gonna be so nice!

Like I said we were going to we drank 4 nights in a row, we went through 3 litres of vodka, and have one left over. We cooked quite a lot as well, and ate out a few times. It was a good weekend overall, with no real pressure to do anything (normally coming from Viv) and being able to relax. I am now officially recharged and ready to work! Well it's only a 3 day week till it's the weekend again, no big deal :)

5 Day Weekend!

Hells yeah!

Thanks to a random religion it will officially be Easter Weekend, which means that thanks to some guy who died on a cross thousands of years ago we get to eat chocolate eggs and rabbits, because the colour of the chocolate, and the colour of the wood on the cross... no... because there were lots of rabbits in Galilee... Well I don't know where it all comes from and links up, but what the hell, chocolate and holidays! Woohoo!

Plus as I got into work early today, I get to leave early as well! Score, I'm gonna be gone by 4! Viv might have to work tomorrow though, even though it's a bank holiday. She's getting lots of stuff to do, as they have a new electronic system to make things easier, even though it's doubled her workload and their trying to give her more.

I also have next Tuesday off, as the guy from BT is supposed to be turning up to connect our phoneline! This means broadband, which means internet at home! I can't wait, LSN, new episodes of Lost, I get to catch up with Naruto, and also blog from home, finally being able to put up pictures of me and Viv and our new house and stuff like that.

We went shopping yesterday, and while we were looking for Peanut Butter, randomly wandered over to the spirits section at the other end of the supermarket. This is not a good sign, neither of us knew why we were there, but we decided to stock up for the weekend anyway. We bought 4 litres of Glen's Vodka (The Exciting Vodka!), at £10.79 for a litre bottle it's a bargain! We also bought 8 litres of Diet Coke, and 6 litres of Red Bull, meaning we will not have to leave the house for four days... I can't wait! And people tell you binge drinking is bad! We were only really shopping for two baking trays I think, it ended up costing us £60, with some other stuff we bought as well...

Also I've seen my other blog has over taken this one in visitor count. Their both only in the three hundreds, but this one's been up much longer, and it seems like Used Hack is the only one who comments on any of them :)

Anyway, five days off, five days drunk, five days trying to play 'Cowboys from Hell' on Guitar Hero. By the end of a probable 72hr Guitar Hero marathon I expect to be cruising through these songs on Expert. Only kidding, I'll be struggling through hard, try not to break my fingers while chord changing and attempting to badly do solos! It's gonna rock!

Template Redesign

Bear with me on this, I'm gradually figuring some stuff out and while it may not look great at the moment I consider it a work in progress. I have the original stored away somewhere as well, in case it all goes tits up at some point.

It's all very... white... at the moment...
