PS3...

today, I finally got the thing I've been all excited about for the past 7 weeks... after a bit of stress of course... this is me we're talking about!... yeh, I ordered my PS3 on the 11th Feb or something from Woolworths, as you know, and the payment wasn't meant to go out till the 22nd March... well, on the 16th Feb or something, I lost my debit card, so it got cancelled, and I got a new one... so, like, the one I ordered my PS3 with, was totally rejected!

I'd completely forgot about it... I was like, "omg, I hope my PS3 doesn't take forever!" to Jon this morning, and he was like, "is there no tracking thing?" or something... so I checked, and there was, and that's were I found out... I was like, "OMG!"... so I phoned em, n then I realised what had happened... obviously, they wouldn't have been able to get one to me today now, so I was muchos peeved!... so, yeh, I cancelled it, and phoned my Dad to see if he would come with me to town to fetch it!

he did!... and I got it!... dunno if I mentioned, but I traded in my PS2 for £56 the other day... so, in the end, my PS3 came to just £439 with Resistance, MotorStorm, and X-Men 3 Blu-ray movie thing!... quite cool considering it's £30 cheaper than what I was paying from Woolies!... and obviously, I noticed I was saving £30... so I thought "hmm, it won't hurt if I buy another game then!"... and that I did!... I also got Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for some reason!

as for the PS3 itself, it's f*cking huge, but also, extremely pretty!... it won't work in HD on my damn TV though, which is annoying, and I'm not sure why... but for the quite short amount of time (due to that assignment I had to finish today) I have played on it, I am quite impressed!... the graphics are ace even though they aren't in HD!... especially on MotorStorm!

the pad isn't as crap as it's been made out... the light-weightness of it isn't a problem, and you barely notice the lack of a rumble pack... I used the motion sensor thing on MotorStorm a bit, but it's really not that ace, far too hard to control, and nowhere near as clever as the Wii remote... but, they give you the option if you wanna use it, which is cool... it's prolly one of them things you gotta get used to, but still...

what else... erm, the set-up is easy and simple... the menu style is really nice, just the same as the PSP, but with lots more options... the shop is quite cool too, simple, and I like the fact that they charge with actual currency rather than points too, it's so much easier... the only 2 prices I can remember are Lemmings for £3.49, and Teken 5 for £6.99... which are kinda reasonable I think!

speaking of online stuff... me and Chris tested it out earlier!... Marvel, we had no problem setting up, and I thought it was quite cool, but I think Chris found it boring!... however, we did have a bit of trouble setting up Resistance, but I think that was more down to our retardedness, hehe, and it worked in the end anyways... also, quite cool!... love the fact that I'm not stuck having to pay £40 or whatever it is a year as well, cos free stuff is cool, and I pay for the net anyways, so I shouldn't have to pay to use the net that I pay for!

oh, I heard today there's gonna be a price drop of them in October to £389.99 I think it was... see, if they were that price originally, I don't think Gamestation would have still had 45 in stock at 10:00 this morning... but, hey, that coulda meant I wouldn't have had one, hehe... the 20GB one is coming out too for £299.99 or something... I don't recall what it's missing though apart from 40GB and the HDMI hole thing...

anyways, generally, I am happy with my PS3, it is ace, and could potentially end up being my favourite, as long as the games are good, which I've no doubt they will be, and that they sort their backwards compatibility out so I can play 24 and Silent Hill 3!

ooo, that filled some time n took my mind off stuff... Mom's just phoned me though, and Louise is ok, n they're on their way back, she's just in shock, so s'ok!... :-)

Stressing...

hmm, I had quite a good day today really... well, until about 11:10 when we got a phone call saying Louise has been involved in a car crash... it's her birthday today btw, well, it was on the 23rd, tis after 12 now isn't it... she's at the hospital now, so I'm stressing muchly... you never know how your reactions would be to different things until they actually happen, do you, but I'm really worried atm... the Nurse has looked at her eyes n stuff n they said she seems ok... but she's got a headache n stuff, so she's gotta see a doctor and maybe have an X-Ray soon...

as for the actual car crash, apparently, the people who hit them were driving on the wrong side of the road, hit them, swerved, and drove off... not much you can say to that really is there...

I've no doubt she'll be fine... as for now, no-one's online to talk to, so I might just blog until I'm too tired to stay up any longer...

*Takes Broke Ass Home*

yes, as Fergie's Father (apparently) once said... "If you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home!"... and remember this? -

well, that quite large sum is going out of my bank today... and therefore, I am taking my broke ass home!... omg, so poor... but it's ok, my PS3 is coming TOMORROW!... I'm quite excited!... :-D

omg, I have this assignment in for tomorrow, with which my lecturer is expecting like, 100 sketches!... loads!... I've managed 21 over 5 pages so far, and I'm totally fresh out of ideas, so I got no idea what to do now... >_<

in other news, my Step Dad turned 34 yesterday!... and my Sister is 17 tomorrow!... also, I have, after some thinking, compiled a list of my top 10 games... ever!... but I shan't be posting that until later on today...

bYe!

Dreamcast 2?

hmm, I saw the sales figures for the Playstation 3 in America last night, and like, it's selling even less than the Gameboy Advance!... some people reckon it's dead over there already... and also, everywhere still has PS3's in stock still in this country that will all be guaranteed for release!... it's slightly worrying considering I'ma be getting one in like, 3 days!

I can't help but feel like we've got another Dreamcast on our hands!... an amazing console that's a bit before it's time!... which if that is the case, and 2 years from now I'm gonna have a console that isn't gonna be made anymore, I will not be happy!... it could happen!... Sega were quite big in their time!... let's just hope the European PS3 launch goes quite well... :-S

bYe!

Amelle Berrabah...

I have decided!... I am glad that Mutya left Sugababes!... *shock*

yes, I am now loving Amelle!... Sugababes seem SO much happier with her in interviews and stuff!... they were always slightly grumpy with Mutya in the band, but now, they're not!... also, Heidi seems to sound better live without Mutya!... and generally, Sugababes 1.2 is quite possibly my favourite line-up!... I cannot wait to see them next week!!

oh yes, and I purchased tickets to go see Ross Noble yesterday, which is quite exciting!... I like Ross Noble!... he makes me larf lots, hehe... ^_^

I don't have much else to say really!

bYe!

Comic Relief...

hello!

I remembered I hadn't told y'all what happened with the whole exam thing, hehe... well, I went to see my lecturer, and she let me do it again (thankfully)... so, yeh, I retook it basically... was so annoyed though... but still, I got my grade for it yesterday, and woop woop, A16!... that's like, top mark, so I'm quite proud of myself, I've never got higher than B13, hehe... ^_^

anyways, had another assignment in yesterday, which I'm sure I've done wrong, but I'm not gonna think about it too much, cos it'll bug me!... and now I have another one in for Friday... and another for the Friday after!... it seems never-ending!... but I guess that's what I signed up for!... so I'll just get over it!

ooo, it was Red Nose Day yesterday... I did my part by buying a whole 2 red noses, buying the Girls Aloud Vs. Sugababes single (can you believe only 50p actually goes to Comic Relief from that? tis disgusting!) and me n my family put together and donated £18!... as for the live show thing last night, it was actually really good!... I think my favourite bit was this though...



quite hilarious I thought... Tony Blair is quite amusing!... :-)

today, I am going to be mostly doing work... but I may have a random break and play my Wii, cos Jon is SO much further on Sonic than me!... then tomorrow tis Mother's Day, and I think we're going out for dinner, yay... omg, tis gonna snow tomorrow night too apparently!... how random!... I like snow though, tis cool...

OMG!... less than a week till I get my PS3!... and less than 2 weeks till McFly and Sugababes concerts!... it's all quite exciting...

bYe!

F&*$!@G...

...PISSED OFF!!!

right, you know how I had that exam on Friday morning!... WELL!!... I got an e-mail yesterday (but only checked today) saying that my disk has corrupted!... now, what the HELL am I meant to do when we weren't allowed to take anything in to make backup copies, because it was an exam!?... exactly, I don't know!... I'm SO annoyed, cos I'm sure I did really well in it!

anyway, I have to go see the lecturer today to see what the fook I'm meant to do about it... who, BTW, is the one who gave me that shit mark ages ago that I had to get corrected... I will let you know how it goes...

ARGH!!!!

Red Nose!

omg!... so, like, you read earlier that I bought a red nose!... and omg, it's SO cool!... I mean, look!

as you can see, there is the t-shirt that I purchased earlier... and with the ears too, the nose totally finishes off my amazing look, don'tcha think!... :-D

as well as that!... there was this really cool chocolate with it!... not sure why... but watch as I demonstrate what it does... at first, it looks like any old random chocolate... kinda anyways, hehe...

but then!... omg!... when you hold it up to the light!

WOW!... totally ace!... of course, I've eaten it now...

but it was cool while it lasted!... :-)

BORED!

omg, so bored!... I had an exam thing this morning, which went quite well I think/hope, hehe... anywho, I finished at like, 11:50 or something, and I been wandering round all a loner since!... I went to HMV, then CeX, then Woolworths, then got harassed by a charity worker who thought I was "cool" apparently, then I went to buy a red nose cos he made me remember it, then went to Forbidden Planet which I find SO boring nowadays, and THEN decided to come back to Uni and rant about how bored I am!... I text someone from Uni sometime as well, but they totally ignored me, *shock*

boooored bored booored!!!

I am also quite tired, but still!

ooo, Hilary Duff is on the Charlotte Church show tonight... and Ugly Betty's on before that too, yay... I like Friday night TV!... Balls Of Steel is on after Charlotte too, which isn't that amazing, but tis something to watch and doesn't hurt the brain, hehe...

did I mention that I'm BORED!?... well, I am... soooo bored... haven't got my next lecture till like, 2:00 either, which is exactly 30 minutes from now!

hmm, I may go and purchase a new stipey t-shirt!... black and white!... and omg, maybe some jeans too... I like buying random new clothes... hehe, how Gay does that sound!?... oh well, I'm over it...

well, you're boring, so screw you guys, I'm going to purchase clothing!

bYe!... :-)

Visitor Count!

ooo!... I just noticed, my visitor count has gone over 10,000!... how cool!

It's Reasons Like These...

...that I love my Xbox 360 so much!...

this morning, I downloaded an episode of South Park on my 360 in HD... t'was such an amazing episode too, hehe... looks proper good in high definition, although, things were moving quite fast in the opening song thing that it sent me a bit dizzy with the clearness!... anywho, that was free, so I was like, yay!

and this afternoon, I downloaded... Worms!... ya know, the worms that shoot each other in the face, n blow each other up n shit!... that Worms!... tis pretty amazing, and the trial is free!... oh how I love Worms... I may like to purchase the full version!

also, some point last week, I downloaded this game called Alien Hominid HD... basically, you're this cute lil alien, with a gun, who shoots/chops the heads off of lots of guards... need I say more?... totally amazing... although, tis quite hard...

Xbox Live is so amazing!... I am currently wondering what the Playstation Store or whatever it's called is like, cos I can't imagine it's gonna be that good from what I've heard... the Wii Shop is kinda cool, but it's not really got much on there in terms of "things that aren't games"... but, yeh, Xbox Live is ace... ^_^

Sold!...

...to that woman who won my auctions!

hehe, my eBay things finished yesterday, and I did SO well... the auctions ended by 4:10... she'd paid by 4:20... I'd posted them off by 4:55 (woulda been earlier if the damn queue in the damn Post Office wasn't so big!).... and they arrived to her this morning!... I am quite proud of myself, cos t'was my first sale, and she seemed happy when she e-mailed me to say they arrived!

only annoying thing, Jon sold his Sims 2 and University for like, £45 or something... and I sold my Sims 2, University and Nightlife for £41.50!... what's the deal with that??... oh well, hehe...

I am currently looking for more shit to sell... hmmmmmm......

oh yeh, and thanks to all 1 of you that commented on my last post!... I told my lecturer my idea, and he seems to like it, so that's what I'm doing... *wonders if anyone apart from Jon reads this thing*

Right...

...so... I've come up with an idea for my assignment... and I need your help to tell me if it's cool and makes sense, or if it's stupid and a whole load of rubbish!... please!... see, I asked nicely!... :-)

basically, my idea is based on this TV show I watched called The Lost Room, which is about this room, that has lots of objects, which all have different kinds of powers... for example!... there is a bus ticket, which when you touch someone with it, they kinda vanish, and appear on Route 66... and a razor, that when you touch glass with it, it makes the glass shatter... see where I'm going with this?... I'm thinking probably not... anywho, in the show, this guy has to gather 7 of these objects so he can attempt to somehow bring his son back from the dead... hmm, this is quite hard to explain!... I'll skip the TV show part, and go to the game...

in my game, there's gonna be these random objects in this big house... the aim of the game is to get these 7 objects together so you can get into the Lost Room... not sure why you're trying to get there yet, still gotta think about it... but as well as gathering these objects, there's gonna be a couple more that you'll have to use to get to the 7 specific ones that you need...

my question to you... if you were reading my work, would you think I'm a loon and totally not understand wtf I'm on about?... or would you kind of understand it, and just play the game?

thank you!... would like, totally appreciate if you commented on this entry... ^_^

P.S... yay, all my games have got bids on eBay now... how "exciting"!

My Arms...

...and shoulders are very much aching today... it is not recommended to carry 4 heavy shopping bags for like, a mile or something, then play on your Wii not too long afterwards...

Sonic is cool though!

^_^

Asda!

right, so, today... me, my Mom and my Step Dad had a day out in... Asda!... hehe, it was quite cool actually, we only went to buy some random things, mainly for their diet, but I also picked up some random things, like pineapple juice, which is lovely, some vanilla ice cream, Sonic and the Secret Rings for my Wii, and these cool egg noodles that I'm having for tea!... somehow!... even with one of those little trolleys!... the grand total for all the items we purchase was... £165!... I was like, "omg!"... I still have no idea how it cost that much, didn't seem like we bought the whole shop, but apparently we did!

also, while I was there, I decided that I am going to sell my Sims 2, University and Nightlife games on eBay!... which will (hopefully) cover the cost of Sonic, and also allow me to by The Sims 2 Seasons!... cos like, we have the PC versions of the games anyways... anywho, these are my first sells on eBay!... so I shall let you know how I get on... it's all quite exciting... I wish someone would bid on the damn things though... ¬_¬

I go play Sonic now!

bYe!

3 WEEKS!...

...PS3!... OMG!!!

March!?!

can you believe it's March already!?... I surely can't!... the second half of this month, minus all the Uni assignment deadlines and my in class exam anyways, is going to be amazing!...

my Playstation 3 arrives on the 23rd!... Jon is coming down on the 28th and we are going to see McFly on the same day!... then on the 30th, we are seeing Sugababes front row!... it's all quite exciting...

as well as that, the picture on my calendar this month is ace!... ^_^

hehe, I got another one of them random "you wanna come eat pizza!?" phone calls off Chris last night at the same time again... t'was quite cool!... then, this morning, we went up town before I had to go Uni, and for dinner we had... more random pizza!... that means, in the past 7 days, I've eaten 4 whole pizzas!... I think today's was the best though... cheese and BBQ sauce, with chicken... sooo nice...

also, I have been feeling slightly bleh the past few days, but I can confirm that... I am generally over it!... :-D

bYe!
