    Oh for that Crystal Ball…


    2010 - 02.20

    WTF was I thinking? Obviously I wasn’t, and there goes one of those “Sliding Doors” that can’t be closed after opening.

    What I thought was obvious, quite clearly wasn’t! I guess it’s a case of in for a penny in for a pound…

    Lust, Envy, Desire … THUD!


    2010 - 02.17

    Some days my calm in the Cosmos is disturbed and it’s difficult to want something that money can’t buy, and you can’t have anyway but want so badly. And you know that even if you never saw that person again, nothing would change…

    Captain Hook…

    Furbag’s been trying to squeeze a “sore” paw and “limp” for all it’s worth for a few days now, although seemingly she’s made an “Immaculate Recovery”. Marvellous what the suggestion that a Vet bill in excess of $300 can lead to discontinued existance can do! Seriously though, nothing was broken, bleeding, or bent short of a claw, so she’s fine, and miffed that I didn’t buy into it somewhat more. She did somewhat resemble a certain Pirate, although I’m no Peter Pan. 🙂

    And another sort of delicious…

    Mmm Citris Cheesecake flavoured yoghurt: a little bit of lust in a tub!

    So you PAID for that…?


    2010 - 02.10

    Well glad I’m not big fan of buying PC games nowadays. I might have bought Mass Effect 2 or Bioshock 2 for the PC, and been really fucking pissed that I paid to be stuffed around: and those who don’t pay have all the fun and no inconvenience! Admittedly I won’t buy these games for PC, although I WILL buy them to play on xbox 360 quite cheerily. I’ll be looking very closely at what might be done to Supreme Commander 2 just prior to release and may actually wait a day or so now, and see what comes up on the internet from the early adopters! Certainly I won’t buy Supreme Commander 2 for the console, but if I’m going to be inconvenienced for legitimately buying a game I would previously genuinely have bought unseen, I think not! Now it’s got to the point for me that I have to wait and see what crap others have to put up with before I go out to buy a PC game. Seems that saves me a fair bit of grief nowadays. And let’s face it, those who know me, know I’ve not been shy of buying games over the years. I even own multiple copies of some like Starcraft, Warcraft and several others, so I think I can legitimately bitch about intrusive “protection schemes”.

    It’s a cold wind…


    2010 - 01.25

    A final whiny moment and then I’m done I guess. Two games off my shopping list this year are Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. Yes it’s clear that Blizzard and I part company as a consumer partnership. Their ridiculous excuse about not including LAN support on the basis of preventing piracy is just insulting. I won’t even deign providing links for the two aforementioned titles. If Blizzard did a flip on this I’d happily purchase both games, but short of that, I believe that Warcraft 3 will be my last blizzard game.

    However, two games that I am looking forward to immensely and oddly both sequals, are Mass Effect 2, and Supreme Commander 2. Hopefully by the end of this week I’ll have a collector’s edition of Mass Effect 2. The other will have to wait until March if it maintains it’s release date.

    Hopefully I’ll be finished Dragon Age: Origins by the end of the week, because I’m going to find it hard to not fire up Mass Effect 2 on Friday night.

    Farcebook…


    2010 - 01.24

    It seems that every time I visit someone who’s logged into Facebook at the time I’m even more astounded than the last with the amount of mindless Neo-nazism, other assorted Bigotry and poor spelling. It needs to be renamed to Farcebook. Interestingly certain Government impositions won’t be filtering such social perniciousness. Perhaps it’s a “good” thing that not every home has internet yet: and that’s as much comment as I think it warrants!

    We’re all going on a Summer Holiday…


    2010 - 01.15

    In less than 90 mins I’ll be on 11 days leave… 🙂

    I plan to get the external woodwork finished, at least one xbox game finished, spend at least one day doing nothing but eating and sex (not necessarily mutually exclusive) and enjoy several day trips. What else can I say…

    More than a drop…


    2010 - 01.12

    Finally a bit of relief from the heat, and potentially relieving the chance of fire! I love rain. I’d live where it rained 12 hours a day and 20 degree temperatures if I could just find somewhere that did that without the humidity. But sadly such is not the case.

    To paraphrase the innocent Maria:

    Raindrops and Ho’s, Leather and Kittens,
    …these are a few of my favourite things!

    Either way I’m happy to be getting some rain, even if it’s spotting the screen of the laptop while I’m sitting out here on the patio tapping away (excuse my OCD).

    Just Work…


    2009 - 12.29

    Today was a hard day at work! I spent the day driving to Geelong & Lorne for the day’s work. Fuck my days can be hard… 😉
