Holiday

Tomorrow, I’m going on holiday with my sexy Irish girlfriend Tracey, and my best friend Andrea and her husband Billy from America. I’ve got most of my stuff packed, I’m just sitting here with a giant sized mug of tea:

Worlds Biggest Mug. Me

The hand is for size comparison. I would use a normal sized mug but i don’t have one easily accessible. It’s taking ages to drink.

Anyways, I’ll be taking my PS3 and my Asus Transformer. And my laptop. And my PSP. Good job i still have that big blue suitcase thing that my aunt gave me when i went to America. Although I’m sure i will be entertained plenty at night, if ya know what i mean ;D

So it’s going to be loads of sexy fun. It’s a long journey from Birmingham. I think about a 4 hour drive. One thing i worry about is the beach. Well to be more specific, the sea. I don’t mind getting in water, I’m not afraid of it or anything. I just don’t like to be topless. If you saw my body, you’d know why. I look pregnant. Maybe i should get a mankini. I suppose i better pack swimming shorts.

I’ll let you know what happens there after we come back. Obviously i can’t see the future. Oh and the song “Holiday” by Madonna is stuck in my head. Thanks Tracey. ALE ALEJANDRO! 😀 She knows what i mean.

Oh and on another note, I’ve hit over 3000 views now. Well done you, pat on the back. Oh and if you haven’t already, vote on the poll. There’s 10 days left to vote on it. It’s pretty geeky.

I’ve just realised i haven’t said where I’m going on holiday. It’s Lizard Point in Cornwall. Come over and visit us. We’ll be there a week. We clearly have plenty of entertainment. See ya in a week

Fast. But not fast enough

So I upgraded my Internet today. I upgraded to 100mb/s. Or so they say. I got it today, with a huge “superhub” (which doesn’t work with my ps3 when wired up). I did a speed test and I have around 30meg. Although it did seem to be getting gradually faster as I tested it later.

We’ll see how it is when I get home. I should probably mention I’m at work. I think I’m getting toothache.
And oh yeah, I installed a decent android 4.0 rom on my phone. It’s no cyanogenmod 9, but it’s pretty good.

There was something else i was going to say. What was it? Oh, when I get paid, I want to get a green screen cloth. I’ve had this weird urge to do video editing using chroma key (the technical term for the green screen effect). They’re weirdly cheaper than blue screens which are like twice as much. Although it’s been a challenge finding video editing software that I can use and doesn’t crash. Kdenlive seems the best.

The android app seems to put weird html symbols on my post every time the screen turns off or I leave the app, so I better finish. Tally ho old chap

Girlfriend

So for the past couple of months, I’ve had a girlfriend. I’ve mentioned her before. The past few days she’s been in England (from Ireland) staying with me. She left yesterday. It was the best few days i’ve had in a long time. I know she’s my soul mate. We’re just similar in so many ways. We’re perfect for each other.

So she got here from Dublin on Friday (it’s Wednesday as I write this), we stayed in a hotel for a couple of nights, then went to mine and stayed there for a couple of night. I know what you’re thinking. I did want her to stay at mine the whole time, but my dad wouldn’t like that. Yeah i live with my dad unfortunately.

The hotel was average. Nothing special. There was no hot water and the clock had stopped. But we managed. She bought a relatively cheap but decent 10 inch Android tablet. See, perfect. She also hates Microsoft and Apple, just like me. Oh, on a side note, I’m sitting here in a snuggie. That is all.

I did take my PS3 to the hotel with me, but i forgot to bring a video cable, so i bought a HDMI cable from i think Argos for £5, and that didn’t work, so we had no PS3 games while we was there. Although we played a bit when we got to mine. We also watched Wall-E, Tron and Tron Legacy. And played Tony Hawk 2 and Fur Fighters on Dreamcast. And Black Ops on PS3 with my best friend Andrea and her daughter Sharon. With Tracey of course (Tracey was on the winning team).

When we went to buy Tracey’s tablet (and my HDMI cable), we went into Currys and there was an alarm going off. Turns out there was a guy trying to steal something and they’d caught him and were holding him down. Welcome to Birmingham Tracey 😀

We also watched a weird movie online. It was really weird. I won’t tell you about it. Just find an hour and a half and watch it.

Autopsy: A Love Story

Oh yeah we also had a lot of amazing sex. Especially the first night. Damn she’s one horny chick. anyway I’m hoping to go over to Dublin next month or the month after. I just want to make sure i have enough money to pay for everything i need. I don’t want her paying for anything i want. I hate when people buy things for me. I like to buy my own things.

Freaky Friday

So I’ve just found on the android market the official blogger app. I wish i’d known about it sooner. It would have made mobile blogging easier. Not like I would have anyway.
Anyways, what I wanted to tell you about today is a slight but annoying issue I had yesterday.
So for a while I’ve been wanting to exchange my fat ps3 for a slim one. So obviously I backed up all my data from the old one onto an external hard drive, got the slim one, restored my data. And it restored the game saves. But not all of them. Actually most. Except the one I wanted. Deus Ex. It didn’t even restore the games. None of them. As far as I can tell, it’s restored all of my game saves except Deus Ex. That’s all it’s restored.
Whether it’s because it’s on a different console I don’t know. But I really wanted my Deus Ex save. I got really far on it. I do have a game save on there personal cloud that Sony give to PSN users, but it’s several days old. It’s really annoying that that’s the only game save that didn’t back up.
So yeah, that’s what I wanted to rant about. It’s 7.30 am on Saturday morning, I’m at work and I didn’t get much sleep last night, as usual. I never do when I have to be up early for work. That’s annoying.
On a side note, I’ve decided to stop buying Ribena because it has a lot of sugar in it. So I’ve started buying Oasis instead. That has less sugar. And hopefully gets rid of my thirst better. I find all too many drinks don’t make me much less thirsty, they just make my throat wet (that’s what she said).
This is actually turning out to be quite a long blog. At least on my mobile. Obviously on a widescreen monitor it’ll be shorter. But it’s still quite long for one of blogs. I’m just talking crap aren’t i. I’ll shut up

Broke

OK, so it’s been a while since i’ve done a blog. No reason for that other than nothing has happened. Except i ran out of money with 5 days till pay day. Literally £0 in my bank account. I actually had to borrow £10 off my dad, and i hate borrowing money. Luckily i don’t have any more working days, i have the next 2 days off and i get paid Friday so i won’t need more moneys.

As we speak, i’m playing Black Ops with the missus. I’m kicking her ass 🙂

So after leaving the computer for a couple of hours after starting this, i’m back. I kicked my girlfriend’s sexy bum.

So now i’m in the kitchen making dinner. I need to pee. I always do when i go into the kitchen. Weird. And my jeans keep falling down because im getting fatter and fatter and the buttons keep breaking. I have them “western style” instead of a zip. And my fat belly has broken most apart from the very bottom one (which makes it too loose) and the very top one (which makes it too tight). And i can’t be arsed to use a belt. Fascinating isn’t it.

Anyway i’m getting Tracey to install ubuntu on her laptop so i’m going on video chat on PS3. See yaaaaa
