I can’t say that I’m much of a Zappa fan really, but I came over this today and found it rather amusing, and perhaps somewhat invigorating.

So, what’s going on in my life at the moment, besides cutting myself to pieces? A great deal of nothing really, life is utterly boring at the moment. I should be looking for a job, it’s been over a fucking year since I finished my civil service, yet nothing. But with this heat, I just don’t have the energy to do anything at all. And I should really cut my hair, it’s getting too long. It now reaches my lower back, and is getting increasingly annoying and in the way all the time. I miss the sub-shoulder length. So that needs to be fixed.

Tried some “new” games. Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast: meh. Prey: crap. New games, please for the love of god, stop using the Doom 3 engine, it sucks and every game looks the same. Titan’s Quest: awesome, for a day or two, then it’s get very repetitive.

Now, finally time for some good news. I’ve never played much console games after the Nintendo era, apart from winning a PSX with a few games (loved the first Gran Turismo to death!). N64, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox etc., all untested. So I’ve lived a sort of sheltered life console wise the last decade. Unfortunately one can say, as I’m sure I’ve missed out on a lot of great games. This truly became apparent to me two weeks or so ago when I downloaded Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition for PC, a port from the PS2. Oh my god! What a great game, I’ve been playing it non-stop ever since I got it. I even bought a Logitech gamepad just for this one game. I could go on and on about the awesomeness that is DMC3, but I won’t. As for consoles, I will be buying the Wii when it comes out.

Other things in life? Not much. Peanuts, roast beef sandwiches, movie watching, Thin Lizzy, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, dreams of rain.
