I am not in a great mood. There are multiple reasons for this. One of the main ones, however, is EA, who have once again gone out of their way to prove that they are more than willing to annoy the living shit out of their customers ( Read more... )

The banks, they make me livid.

Look, here's the thing. Letters from Inland Revenue are scary ... usually. So when I opened up my mail earlier this week, including the scary letters from Inland Revenue, imagine my utter shock when it turned out that they were giving me money. And I don't just mean 'I won ten quid on the lottery; let's get fish and ( Read more... )

I seem to have gone more to a video game place these days.

Sims 3: I decided to try actually playing this over the weekend, as

It always amuses the hell out of me when Sim imitates RP ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know, the posting has fallen by the wayside. Again. You should be pleased as hell that I have decided not to bore you all with the tiny minutiae about my life (DOCTORS WHO CAN'T SPEAK OR SPELL OMG). Still, it's been awhile since I checked in, so here's the news that doesn't involve rampant bitchery about my workplace (not that such doesn't ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, y'all! May the worst day of 2011 be no worse than the best day of 2010, yeah?

The evening did not go exactly as I planned. It never does. For one thing, while I knew there were going to be leftovers from the Chinese, I did rather expect to at least finish the starters. But my appetite went on strike and now I've got prawn toast ( Read more... )

I'm actually almost ashamed of my glee at the fact that Sims 3 is currently being installed on Hardison. Not because of the game, or any sort of thinking that I should be too old for this shit - I'm ashamed because this means I have in some small way given money to a bunch of greedy tits who have turned the game into even more of a cash cow for EA ( Read more... )

Leaving aside my ... shall we say 'issues' with Sims 3 and this SecuROM thing, I still have my moments of enjoyment with Sims 2, and will probably continue to. We'll have to see if EA wises up about this crippling SRM they seem to be putting on Sims 3, and that's not for another year, so I'll just keep an eye on that and see how it goes ( Read more... )

And so I spoke to trishiekaty about what happened with the gift voucher whojamaflip. And she fixed it - more than, as a matter of fact. So instead of paying for half of it (which I'd have been more than happy to do), I paid just under three quid towards postage, and now must think of something awesome to send her for her birthday / Christmas / whatever. (Do ( Read more... )

I don't think I'm ever going to be truly happy on anything but Eastern Standard Time. Sad, but true. I can about pretend I can go to bed at a reasonable hour in my own time zone, but for the most part ... my body clock is set to the place I was born and I'll just have to learn to live with it ( Read more... )
