The Weekend Summary

Once again the weekend has finished and I'm absolutely knackered! I havent been getting much sleep on weekends, I need to start myself getting naps in the afternoon as I really dont get much sleep on a weekend, what with getting in at 3am and waking up at 8 or 9...

We went to Jayne and Al's on Friday night, not leaving till quite late as we didnt have to, Viv wasn't working for once! However she fell asleep an hour and half before we left as she had been working that day. It was a good night though, as always. John wasnt there, but me, Glenn and Al played a mini tournament on FIFA, none of us making it past the second round, annoyingly I was playing Glenn in the first round...

On saturday we went into town shopping and I got some new shoes, I was going for a new shirt as well, but couldnt find a decent one. Town was absolutely packed and I was so bored, annoyed, hungover and not particularly interested in being around.

On saturday night we went to Sarah and Glenn's which was also cool. We smoked inside, in Grisham's room, as it was freezing and drizzling outside. I had bought some Lilt for my vodka, but after trying it decided against doing it again. We were there for quite a while this week, Viv faded a bit in the middle of the night, but got her second wind later.

Google Video of the Day

Google Video of the Day

This is a great blog. It has so many videos that are so funny and/or cool. It's got the Matrix Ping Pong, the funny cat video I posted just before this, a motorbike chasing a car going crazy speeds, dancing robots and comedy GI Joe cartoons. Everything you need to waste a day.

Cat Fight!

Funny cat clip - Google Video

One little kitten tries to go up against the big cat, but then gets properly nailed!

Strangeness in the Computer

My computer has been strange this week. I havent really used it for a while, as I had no reason to, then I bought and played Civ 4, which was good, and had no problems. Then John from work copied me Quake 4 and FEAR. I installed FEAR and got some sound problems and an error kept popping up at startup, but other than that, nothing much else happened. Last weekend I played Quake 4 for a day, then a few days later, it wouldnt start. I found this really weird.

Restarting in safe mode and deleting Quake 4 and FEAR, after trying a few other things, seemed to sort this out, and the PC started fine. Then yesterday I went to play Civ 4 and it wouldn't load again. I took the DVD of Civ 4 out of the drive and restarted without a problem. Now I dont know if this is due to the DVD being in the drive, or something left over from Quake 4 or FEAR, which are still off the PC, but it's never happened before. I'll have to check it this weekend to see if it happens again and if it is the DVD, I hope not, I like Civ 4...
