I thought I would finally give in and create myself a facebook because, well, that's just what you do, isn't it ( Read more... )

Who knew you'd need a freaking degree in engineering to get a damned playstation 3 to play a simple DVD. I mean, it's not like you expect this to be out of the box functionality of anything silly like that.
At least now I can watch Galaxy Quest in peace.

 So, I fell just a 'little' behind in reading my friends page this last week. And I've been playing catch up. And I've just discovered that you can only go 920 entries back on your friends list. Hmmm... well I suppose you do learn something new everyday.

After discovering Girl in the Fireplace didn't work, I resolved to take the box set back to Dymocks, since I was meeting my friend, Goose, for lunch at the center.
