PS3 More Fun Than You Can Poke A Stick At... it's true

So What's New on the 'ol PS3... well let me see. On Red Dead Redemption the Zombie Undead downloads has been added and played, and played, and played. I've killed hundreds of Zombies, saved many a town folk and generally had a splendid if not bloody time and right at the very end became a Zombie myself, but a good Zombie.
A good Zombie??? Play it yer self to find out.

Next I succumb to Call Of Duty - Modern Warfare 2. Russia and the US are at war and I get to be many different people shooting and killing my way through many a theatre of war. More guns than an Afghani arms dealer.
Yeah baby lot's o' fun.






Next, just last Friday I picked up Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, continueing on from where we left off in Assassin's Creed II,
more 16th century adventure in medieval Italy, Rome to be precise. Historical adventure based on fact and just to stoke every gamer into oblivian, the people at Ubisoft have include online multiplayer. Just thinking about it, I want to log off this blog biz and get right back into assassinating people all over the world. I know what's going to occupy my little joystick over the next month or two. Fuck... I love my Playstation.

Where I have been all your Life??

Hells Bells! Ya get sick, ya work hard, ya stay sick, ya feel like shit and before ya know it the weeks fly buy.



So my little bloglets did ya miss me? After three weeks of battling the flu, a cold, coughs, head aches, back aches and body aches, goodness seems to finally be prevailing. It's late on Sunday arvo and what a splendid day it has been. To celebrate my new found good health I spent the day building and completing and shelf for my Lovely.
This shelf is for her to put all her boxes (and there are many)of beads and such which she uses for all the fabulous jewelery she makes, maybe you can check out www.etsy.com/shop/italicampersand
her site and if you see something you like, buy it. I really tried hard to get a hyper link going on there but I couldn't work it out, sorry, so either write it down or cut and paste, then connect.

This day started with pancakes (made from scratch) only slackers and losers buy and use that pre-made shit, Shake 'n' Bake I think they call it..... Dudes, pancakes are so easy and I gotta thank my wonderful grand mother (RIP) for teaching me this, my first ever recipie committed to memory, Pancakes = 1 cup of flour, plain flour for ultra thin or self raising for fluffy and thick, 1 and a bit cups of plain milk or buttermilk for that ultra lush hit, 1 egg and a small pinch of salt if you so desire. Whisk it all together and then cook it up with a little butter on a skillet at medium heat, flip when bubbles pop on the top, absolutely delightful. This morning I had two pancakes with maple syrup, sliced banana and ice cream (mmm ice cream for breakfast)
also had two with lemon and sugar and then just before my morning coffee I had one with Vegemite and butter. Hey what can I say I'm Australian through and through. Pancakes for Sunday breaky are definantly one of my favorite ways to end the week or is that to start the week (that issue still confuses me).

MotoGP, more exams and too much work..

The MotoGP finished and in three days all those items made their way back to Tottenham, all completed nice and smooth. Mega hours clocked up but newbie James beat me in the total hours for a fortnight game, Me 148.5 hours, James 151.5 hours.. Missed it by that much. At the same time as the MotoGP was coming out, 3000exam tables and chairs went into the World Trade Centre, Then when we were all done at the GP the exam tables and chairs all came out, then more went to Box Hill town hall, 501 Reception in Footscray and somewhere in Geelong. Oh my God it's like this crazy never ending loop that wears a person into oblivion, big bags under the eyes, muscle fatigue and a longing to enjoy a complete weekend. Bring it on.

Melbourne Cup Day..

Bah Humbug, I say. A day where Melbourne turns stupid and all over some horses running around a grass track. The only really good thing about it is that I get paid to have the day off.

Today the weather is a little on the unpleasant side and this gives me a slight smile. I imagine lots of people dressed up, girls in light spring frocks with silly feathery things stuck to their heads,
high heels sinking to the heel in soggy water drenched ground. Guys in suits with the occasional stupid hat on their head (the guys don't suffer as much as the girls),
people getting a little too drunk making fools of themselves, and of course some people dress up in the ridiculous just to stand out. Way to much money being squandered on betting by people who only ever bet on this race. A mugs game. Traffic banked up for miles and public transport crammed with the above mentioned people all tyring to get to Flemmington to be part of this annual historic day, and when it's finally all over they'll all try to get back home creating the whole traffic and public transport debarcle all over again.


Baaaaaa, baaaaaa, bah humbug I say. And then there is Bart with those eyebrows that almost produce as much oxygen as the Amazon Rain Forest.



At least the seagulls get a good day out.
