so, moving on to other things...
So I've been at dads since I finshind placement. Christmas was quiet, Dad's birthday dinner was, well, as expected (dont get me started on selfish, obnoxious drunken family memebers needing to be the centre of attention and ruining the night). I also have a new piercing, in the top/side of my ear, whatever you call that bit. I already had one from my year in scotland, and now I have another just below it to mark the end of Uni :D.
So now I'm up to three in that ear (since I have the normal lobes pierced thing going on), the lobe in the other, and my nose.
And I am seriously seriously thinking about skipping the while "when I lose weight" thing and just getting my bellybutton done soon. the I think I'll be done. I honestly cant think of anything else that I want to pierce. Seriously. No deal on anything else, although I find microdermal peircings interesting - but probably not something that I would get. Just cant think of anywhere it would suit me is all. No way am I getting my nipples pierced either - that would look so very weird on me.
anyway, putting the holes in my body aside, I've been rather un-busy here for the past couple of weeks. I watched all the Star Trek movies in order (thats right, all of em) and concluded that I do enjoy the older ones more. I think Shatner et. al. had a bit more playfulness to them that I rewally appreciate. Not that I dont like the newer lot, just... I like the older ones more.
Over new years I had some friends come visit me, which was pertty schweet. Drinking, music, xbox, fun times. I even got some sexytimes but that's a story I wont tell here. We did begin working out the "scale of awesomness" though. its from one to ten, with one being not awesome (and I think after watching The Two Towers we decided that having a girlfriend that can deliver a nut punch from 1000 miles away a la Arwen is pretty much "one") and ten being "totally awesome" which is a volcano full of naked chicks. Even the straightest girl amongst us agreed that a volcano full of naked chicks is pretty awesome. A close second at number nine is delivering a sliding nut puch to a T-Rex. "Zombie Ga Ga" is about a 3, cos she's kinda cool (and in my opinion better that Lady Ga Ga) but still just wants to eat you.
We also played the uncensored version of Left 4 Dead 2, which finally showed up. I am in love. gory, glorious zombie killing love. Completely setting aside the fact that you get katanas, chainsaws and guitars (dubbed "guitanas" by myself) to destroy the zombie horde with, amongst other weapons, the developers done some damn fine work, in my opinion, on improving from number one. The AI isnt quite as annoying, for one, although I feel the characters themselves dont have the same attraction that the originals did. They've also made each level connect, in chronological order. For the purposes of immersion in a story, this is much better than the first. However, the first was kinda set out as four seperate movies, so it made sense.
now they have gone, and I'm left with an xbox that tells me the DLC for dragonage is corrupted. Also the DLC for borderlands (Dr Ned's zombie island) wont work. While it wont let me play dragonage at all, at least I can play some borderlands but just not do the zombie island.
However, I have been playing mass effect again since I want to max out at least my soldier character before the second one comes out and its true - no matter how much I play that game, I love it. What else have I been playing? Oblivion. I dont know what it is.... the combat system is clumsy and annoying, and we'll quietly ignore magic for the moment, but the world itself is one that I can easily get lost in. Give me an open plan world and tell me I can do what I want... well I'll see you in a week I dont care if its obsessively picking flowers, or obsessively tracking down every "point of interest" that pops up on the edge of my map.... I love it.
I'm also nearly done watching all 6 star wars movies again. man I love them, but I really do feel like the new ones let the team down. apart from some scarily obvious plot issues, theres the fact that the universe looks and feels more advanced in the prequals than it does in the originals.
still, they are enjoyable... I just dont think they fit.
what else? well.... not much actually. in fact, I have to go now since dads dog is grunting at me and asking for more food.
catch ya later, internet! XX lol
