I couldnt face buying GTA:IV at midnight on the 29th, but i did buy it on the way to work at 8 in the morning. The guy in blockbusters said that they had 450 people turn up at midnight, and were open until 3:30am!
I am enjoying it, but my progress is very very slow (through lack of opportunity to play)
I did a little mission in front of my mother yesterday (She has been up for a couple of days to help look after Zym 2.0)
It involved me and my cousin ‘Roman’ chasing a bloke in a car. Every other word out of Roman’s mouth was either Fuck or shit - mainly cos I was banging into other cars, lamp posts & people, and on the radio was talk show caller lamenting the pharmaceutical companies for the lack of normal strength weed currently available in Liberty City.
Then, when I finally caught the guy, I punched him until he dropped his knife, then picked it up and used it to stab him to death.
I was laughing hysterically throughout all of this, while my mother was wishing she hadn’t agreed to hold the baby while I played it!!
Good Times 
Saw this on the telly the other day…

More of this kind of thing, i say!
Wahay - look at me going all anti-folk!
This track is one of the many by Kiyma Dawson to appear on the ‘Juno’ soundtrack, and its ideal for beginners because it only has three chords - C, G, and D. Yay!!
On the recording its played once, then repeated up to the line “Appreciate the effort”
(So do that if you want)
As films go, I thought Juno was OK, but perhaps not worth all the hype. (Maybe im getting old?)
But, I really enjoyed the soundtrack. I have a couple more tracks i will be sticking on here over the next few days/weeks/months/when i get round to it - so watch this space.
Meet BIGDOG. A great name of a robot, especially since it does look like a Big Dog! Either that or two blokes facing each other in an kind of reverse pantomine horse.

How cool is that? For a moment i honestly expected it to leather the bloke who kicked it!
Granted it wasnt as good as ‘Gentle Ben’, but as a kid i used to love ‘The Littlest Hobo’.
Wiki informs us that..

I reckon that husky/wolf/German Shepard thing could have taken Lassie in a fight - no problem!
