I bought Metroid Prime on Thursday. ๐Ÿ˜€ It’s damn cool. Kinda struggling with the controls, though…it’s not set up like your standard first-person shooter.

On Friday night we went to the pub…they had a foam party in the beer garden. I wasn’t planning on going in, but I got dragged in. Drenched + 12-degree weather = recipe for a nasty cold. ๐Ÿ™ Last night we went to the pub again, but were only there a couple of hours…everyone was really tired.

Daaamn, system-linked Halo and MechAssault is awesome. ๐Ÿ˜€ We definitely need to get some more friends to get Xboxes, so we can have more controllers and more players. ๐Ÿ˜€

I went on one of my mad complete-room-cleaning sprees this evening, and thus I’ve taken some pics and added the Room page to my site. ๐Ÿ™‚

Geekiness++

Heh, we’ve got a repeat of last week now…movies last night, video games and drinking tonight. ๐Ÿ˜‰ We saw Cradle 2 The Grave. The plot isn’t especially deep, but it’s just a bit of mindless action. (Oh, and I think I’m going to scream if I see another movie with SMS-isms in the title. Take the Fast And The Furious sequel, for example: “2 Fast 2 Furious”. AAAARRGHHHH! *stab stab die hate kill*).

Going to try hooking our two Xboxen up tonight…and the friend who’s house I’m going to has two widescreen TVs for us to use. :)~

Woo! I ventured out onto the main road today. ๐Ÿ˜€ It’s quite easy, heh. Now I’ll be able to drive myself to and from work, and rack up the hours really fast.

I also gave my car a wash and polish. It looks /so/ much better now. The tyres are a bit crummy looking (they’re re-treads), and the hubcaps and rims are generally atrocious, although I cleaned them up as best I could. I’m going to put mags on it eventually, though, so I don’t need to worry too much about it. I’ll take some pics tomorrow.

Going over to a friend’s place tonight, for a night of drinking and video games. ๐Ÿ™‚

We went and saw Daredevil tonight. Mmm, Jennifer Garner.

I just ordered a bunch of CDs from The End Records:

* Angel Dust – Enlighten The Darkness
* Dimmu Borgir – Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
* Lacuna Coil – Comalies
* Nightwish – Wishmaster
* Poisonblack – Escapexstacy
* Trail Of Tears – Profoundemonuim
* Tristania – Beyond The Veil

Mmm…metally goodness.

Blackouts–

Bah. We just had a blackout. There’s /so/ nothing to do during one. : At least during the day you can read books.

Fortunately it didn’t last very long, though. I really need to get a UPS and hook my G4, PC, and cable modem up to it. ๐Ÿ˜€

w00t. The integration of my LiveJournal with my website is complete. I can now be updating my LJ and website at the same time, rather than leaving my website languishing. ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh, and naturally I’ve redesigned my site. ๐Ÿ˜‰

My driving’s going quite well. ๐Ÿ™‚ Had to fill up for the first time last Thursday…at 105.7 cents/litre, ouch. D: I think I need to time it so my refueling is done on Mondays (Monday seems to be cheapest).

w00t!!

I’m getting my car on Monday. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

It’s a white 1993 Corolla hatchback. Very good condition, full service history, and drives quite well.

/me is happy ๐Ÿ˜€
