Platoon was on TV the other night. I watched it while trying to fix my computer, which decided to take a nosedive last week. I'm not sure which was the bloodier battle, to be honest. I didn't succeed with fixing the PC, so I'm now forced to pick up some new bits and bobs. Curses. On the plus side, the film was damn good, if you like war films, which I rather do.
I've not written for a while, largely due to the aforementioned PC death. I've got a post planned which should provide significant amusement, but again it is contingent on getting my home PC up and running again, so for now you'll have to make do with a generic news type update. News follows:
- I'm not dead, in spite of two weeks of not blogging
- Beth can now pull herself up into a standing position. If you leave her sat next to the sofa, she'll stand up and lean on it. She did it like three times in the bath yesterday. She's also got about a million teeth (or maybe it's closer to six) which is pretty cool.
- Work is OK. It's pretty busy, and pretty crazy at times. I feel out of my depth quite a lot, and I'm often having to learn stuff on the fly with no real clue what I'm doing. I usually get the hang of it OK though, so that's a mercy.
- I played through Zelda: Link's Awakening again the other week. For a game that's about 15 years old, it's awesome. I'm also trying to play A Link To The Past on my DS, and failing to see what all the fuss is about, even though it's supposed to the best Zelda game ever in the world, bar none. It's too hard and it makes no sense. Or perhaps I suck at it. Hmm.
- I'm selling a whole bunch of junk on ebay. Someone buy it. Go on. Please.
- I still suck at Fantasy Football, but not as much as the 5 people below me in the league. Unlucky.
- Life On Mars is back on the TV, and this is a good thing because it is awesome. Now, if I could just muster one computer in this house that works, I could set up my magical TV recording box and record it, on account of how I will be out at Bible study this week. Bible study good. Missing Life On Mars not so good.
That's about all I can think of right now. I haven't bought anything exciting lately, so I can't witter on about music or films or whatever. The most exciting thing I've bought lately was a hard disk which caught fire, which is not a good thing. Anything that runs the risk of burning my house down is generally deemed to be crap, so I wasn't too impressed with that. On the whole, 3/10 for surprise value alone. Even The Killers album was better than that.
Right. It's supper time, so I'm off. Bye!
