Yes I’m here. Hi.
Scored The Sims 2 and CoD:UO on Monday. Picked up a copy of The Sims for Lou as well for her birthday. :) They’re both alright. That was my first purchase on my credit card, as well! Yay.
Also managed to get a copy of NHL2005 and finally got my hands on Max Payne 2. NHL2005 is crap as I expected, however I can’t help but give the NHL games a whack after I loved NHL97 and 98 so much. ^_^
There’s lots of little easter eggs and in-jokes in Max Payne 2; I started reading all the threads on the 3DRealms forums for it. Apparently there’s a few references and similarities in the game to what happens in Twin Peaks. I always meant to check out that show (somehow) and now I’ve had my interest rekindled. I was thinking of buying a whole set on video from eBay but I’m not sure. I could “Buy It Now!” for AU$65 or wait 8 days to bid on it. I’m tempted to go for it, but I mean… VHS. :( I suppose I could get dad to convert them from VHS to DVD for me. Actually that’d be pretty cool! Maybe I’ll do that.
I’m still sipping on white russians. Tasty.
My paternal grandmother’s sister died at approximately 8:30pm tonight. She was the last “close” grand-relative I had. :S She’d been on a downward spiral for a few years now. Hopefully she went peacefully. Grant, my cousin who boarded and I in the UAE in February is one of her sons. He was due to come back to Australia in a couple of weeks but changed his flight to try and get home before his mum died. He wont arrive til Monday though. Poor guy.
Hmm… I think I’m gonna go make someone convince me to buy that Twin Peaks VHS set.
Gotta start this retarded presentation. It’s only about 5 pages worth of text. Shouldn’t be too bad (famous last words), but I have to present second tomorrow. That in itself wouldn’t be too bad except for the fact that the group going before me is presenting the EXACT SAME ARTICLE. Yes, the course was structured that way. Good game.
I think I may need to make friends of a few more Caucasians to help myself!
Dad’s going to fix someone’s PC tonight. I can’t wait for the noise. I told him before hand to do it downstairs so I can maintain my SOLTITUDE! Rarr.
I think it’s “oh shit I’ll update my LJ again for once” night for a few of the peeps on my buddy list. Scintillating.

Which Naruto Character are You?

Tired. 3 hours sleep. White Russian time.
From The Age:
Playboy is taking a chance on silicon instead of silicone. The October issue of the men’s magazine features several video game characters posing in the nude – images created by the game companies through detailed computer illustration.
The video heroines are presented in various stages of undress.
The Native American vampire Tala, from the upcoming horror-shooter Darkwatch, is featured in a smaller image wearing only a feather in her hair, while an anonymous model from the Sims-style party game Playboy: The Mansion is shown with only a joystick.
Sounds juicy.
tofu is meant to be coming over today. I think I’m meant to roll out the welcome mat for him if his car makes the distance. Apparently he’s seeing Muse in concert later tonight. Jolly good.
Saw Dodgeball last night with . It’s pretty good. Reminds me a lot of Zoolander, in a way. Plenty of washed-up cameos as well means it must be good.
I’m unsure about whether to bother X-Boxing any more. The guy who changed his mind changed it back the other night but I haven’t contacted him. I don’t think I’ll bother – the impulse is gone. One of the other ones I was watching the bid for ended up at $320 after being only $172.50 for days. hehe.
Gotta give Emma her earring clip replacements at work tonight. Must remember. Hrmm.
Bought the most bonar Spidey t-shirt today. It’s white with red collars and lining on the sleeves. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Also negotiating with a dude for a mod-chipped X-Box with a 120 gig hard drive in it, amongst other shit. Yay for spending!
Lloyd is a noob btw.
So yeah, went in to town with Lou today and bought my shirt in Utopia. Saw The Girl Next Door. It was ok, for a dumb movie. I was somewhat surprised there weren’t any porn star cameos (that I noticed, at least)… But anyway.
Rounding off day 3 of my latest kick-start diet. Banana smoothies tomorrow! Wooooohoooo!
Played my first game of RtCW in about a year last night. Was mad fun, even though we lost 3-1. Damn skitzy and his bs haxing. :O! Ah well.
It’s cold. Brr.
*Update*
What an arsehole. The guy I was emailing about the X-Box decided (within an hour of me saying the price he wanted sounded fair) that he didn’t want to sell it any more and would keep it. Fucker.
Now I’ll have to win another auction and maybe score some mod chips as well. Not to mention buying a hard drive eventually. Oh well.

“The commander of the Sadr movement, leader Moqtada Sadr, announced today in Najaf the end of all fighting in the whole of Iraq and the integration of his movement in the political process,” Sheikh Naim al-Qaabi said.
The cleric has spearheaded the largest rebellion against US troops and Iraqi Government forces since the fall of Saddam Hussein last year.
I’m yet to actually start my ~3000 word report. I’ve read everything that was recommended, though. Odds are I’ll have to look up a few other articles on other things as well. I suppose I can cope with that. It’s being owned by Optus’ 28.8kbps that makes it annoying. If I’m lucky I can get most of what I’ll need done earlier, then just whip up a few relevant arguments and articles after midnight when (hopefully) my cap resets… Although the odds are that wont be until around 3am. Gotta love it.
Care of : another weird test.
The Loverboy. Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMm)
Well-liked. Well-established. You are The Loverboy. Loverboys thrive in committed, steady relationships–as opposed to, say, Playboys, who want sex without too much attachment.
You’ve had many relationships and nearly all of them have been successful. You’re a nice guy, you know the ropes, and even if you can be a little hasty with decisions, most girls think of you as a total catch. Your hastiness comes off as spontaneity most of the time anyhow, making you especially popular in your circle of friends, too.
You know not to make the typical Loverboy mistake of choosing someone who appreciates your good humor and popularity, but who offers nothing in return. You belong with someone outgoing, independent, and creative. Otherwise, you’ll get bored. And then instead of surprising her with flowers or a practical joke, you’ll surprise her by leaving.
ALWAYS AVOID: The Nymph
CONSIDER: The Window Shopper, The Peach
But the best bit (according to … :/ ) is this:
Your exact opposite: The Billy Goat
Deliberate Brutal Sex Dreamer
MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS.
Oh, by the way:
FACT:
You embody the German principle of Konstantzusammenschaft, which is best described in English (without using the obscure English word “sammenschaft”) as “eternal togethermanship”.
I’m using FireFox. Wow.
I haven’t read any papers today. Fuck.
