Bloody hell it’s hot…
Why is it nearly all blog posts start with the phrase “I’ve not posted in a while…” or something similar?
Do we all secretly loathe blogging? Is it a chore on the same scale as say washing up or hoovering that we continuously put off hoping it will somehow take care of itself?
Or is it that the Human race is secretly crap and useless at remembering to do things?
Well for me it’s the second one!
I’m trying to get myself organized more. This has involved putting lots of things into the Task list on my phone. It’s a scary experience seeing all the things you have to do laid out like that. And to be fair I’ve managed to slowly knock things off it.
This would be a lot easier if things in life were in the form of Quests that rewarded loot and experience points. After all MMORPGs have been encouraging rewarding the mundane and trivial for a while now. Shame society itself doesn’t work that way or I’d get more done…
Anyway yesterday I ventured into town to buy some new Towels. Thrilling yes? They’re Egyptian Cotton apparently. Anyway while I was out I thought I’d have a look around see if anybody had any Wii Fit in stock (They don’t) and I stumbled into the Air Conditioned Nirvana of a Currys Digital store.
Now a few weeks ago I pre-ordered myself an Acer Aspire One (The 1GB XP version in White). And while it’s yet to turn up I spotted one on the shelves of Currys.
For £250.
This was the Linux 512mb version with an 8GB solid State Drive. The One that is supposed to retail for about £205.
It’s dinky and nice and I’m glad I’m getting one. I’m even more glad I’m not getting one from Currys.
Anyway while out I bought a Wii. Since there is world shortage of Wii Fits I figured I might as well at least buy myself the console and get me some Wii Boxing action.
I have to say that Wii Boxing is probably the best game I’ve played in a while. Although the Fitness test appears to be based less around fitness and more around proficiency at the games. For example if I get anything Tennis or Baseball related my Fitness age is around 60-70. Throw some boxing at me though and it drops down to the mid twenties.
I do like me some Wii boxing though.
I also bought a Go!Team CD and a Russian Circles CD which anybody who frequents my Last FM page (I shall delude myself into believing people actually look at things like that) will have noticed that I’m listening to both bands quite alot at the moment.
Also it’s bloody hot.
