Gaming, both retro and new
So... past few days. Yup.
On Sunday, I had Jem over for a few hours. I arsed around on Soul Calibur IV for a bit, before we both played some Mario Kart Wii and SSBB. I then continued with my Super Mario Galaxy save for a bit, which I hadn't played since April. o_O I'm doing alright on it at the moment (but, oh, man, did I suck at the Sweet Sweet Galaxy, or what?). :)
Yesterday, I went to work at the supermarket for Bank Holiday overtime. I spent around three and a quarter hours cleaning a couple of food aisles and getting my hands cut up courtesy of the shelving edges for my efforts, but I think I did a good job, nevertheless. Even if I didn't have time to sweep the floor. I didn't even get bugged by customers as much as I thought I would, and there weren't many screaming children as usual (aside from the one who sounded more like a disgruntled velociraptor than a human child).
Later in the evening, Sheldon popped round for a bit - he's been coming over a lot these past few weeks, both to hang out and to use our bath and shower (he's living with his gran for the time being, and apparently her shower isn't working too well at the moment). He brought round a Sega Mega Drive and the original Sonic the Hedgehog game that he bought for Euan at a car boot sale. :D He also brought round a load of Sega games that he bought for himself.
He's also going to take us to a car boot sale this Sunday, so hopefully the weather will hold up and actually, you know, be nice.
He's also been exploring abandoned buildings lately, and I AM JEALOUS. He's said that he might take us to some one day. Amongst the buildings he's been in, he decribed an old insane asylum he went to, as well as an old hospital for the elderly, and he reckoned that they are some of the scariest places he's ever been to.
I want to go there with my camera. SO BAD. (And probably in the daytime.)
I don't know why abandoned buildings fascinate me so much. They just... do.
Today, of course, I worked at the office. And went shopping. Whoo.
Also, I actually started putting my wedding photos up on Facebook. I really ought to upload them here soon, as well. XD
