What a nice day. So why am I sitting in my lounge in my dressing gown? Well I promised a friend that I would record the football for him, seeing as he is a serious Huddersfield fan and is at the game in Cardiff, and frankly I can't be bothered doing anything. Probably should paint the kitchen, although killing more bots on Gunman Chronicles will probably become more tempting over time.
Spent most of yesterday trying to get sound out of my old PC. (Typical case of me having an idea that will save me half an hour, and then spending 5 hours trying to set it up.) There is an episode of 'Malcolm in the middle' where in the introduction Hal (the father) notices that the closet light has blown. He goes to a drawer to find a new bulb and the drawer squeeks, so he goes looking for a can of WD40 which he finds is empty, so he gets in the car, to go to the store, which won't start. His wife finds him under the bonnet of the car and asks why he hasn't fixed the light yet, and he responds with 'I'm trying!!' I really know how he feels...
Anyway it appears the my sub-woofer has gone, but I eventually found the receipt and whilst doing that got involved with sorting out a while manner of things, not least sorting out a load of Anna's stuff in readiness for her moving out. Also scared myself by how much I used to spend on computer games by looking through old receipts. I can recommend www.gamestracker.co.uk/ for finding cheap stuff. I must have saved over a ton this year alone...
Ho hum, lunch-time.
