xbox'ed

got reminded that I've been meaning to blog a little bit more often after reading Jacq's blog. I haven't had the inkling to blog since my last post because I finally got my:
xbox 360!!!

I've been meaning to hold off till Boxing Day. Hoping I could pick it up for like 10-20% less or something, but got impatient when JB bundled it with a charger kit. Sold!! I'm actually sort of glad that I didn't get it last year when I mentioned it. Doesn't seem like there were many games that I would want to play. There isn't much now as well. I think I've got all the games I've wanted already. The rest aren't released yet.

I actually picked up Guitar Hero III as well. Not bad. Quite fun...although it'll give my fingers RSI after playing for a while. Not young anymore...aihs. Used to be able to play games for hours without feeling tired or have my fingers/hands/shoulders/back ache. Sadnesss.

Thats enough for a post... back to my Xbox gaming on a lousy ass tv. I want a HDTV dammit!

An uneventful Saturday

Nothing to report. No plans for the rest of my Saturday except for just playing games and what-not. Andy says he is getting a PS3 today.... so might go over later and check it out.

I just got my car serviced today. Inaugural 1000km service. Its running even better now :) Took up my whole morning though. But just spent it sitting at a cafe and reading a book. I'm trying to go through the books that I ordered from Amazon but haven't read. Still got quite a few. Catching up on them when I'm on the bus nowadays.

Had my weekly fix of pork and fennel sausage roll from the Bourke Street Bakery, which is the most absolutely yummy sausage roll I've had. 1st bakery I know off that has a queue lined up waiting for sausage rolls, fruit buns and brulee tarts. I've been going there every weekend ever since I found out about it... which was 2 months ago. And sometimes on both Saturday & Sunday mornings as well.... its that good! imo at least...

Going to play some games now...spent the early arvo cleaning up the house. Felt like I had to join in cuz Thos & Michelle were cleaning up as well. The place looks spick and span now.
