A Porcine Posting

Quote of the moment:
You drew the pig:
Toward the middle, you are a realist.
Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates.
With few details, you are emotional and naive, they care little for details and are a risk-taker.
With 4 legs showing, they are secure, stubborn, and stick to their ideals.
You drew medium sized ears, you are a good listener
The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life.
And again more is better! You drew medium sized tail


Take the pig test, then view my pitiful effort afterwards so you don't get put off.

Bleurgh. I was woken up at 10.30am by a phonecall from Bell. They wanted my timesheet(s) for last week and since they never gave me any blank ones I had to go in to the office and fill them in for this week, then nab some more.

Back at home I had some huge slices of ham from Sunday supper (the second roast of the day) for lunch, which felt almost organic :p

I then went and propped up the back gate with some construction site type steel rods my dad found in the ditch last month, since his grand plan for putting in a new gate won't be implemented for at least a year, despite him buying all the parts. This is standard for my dad: he bought a printer/scanner/fax machine about 18 months ago which hasn't come out of the box, and I had to wait until he'd gone away for a weekend to open up and set up the laptop that is now mine, because he'd bought it 9 months before and it was rapidly getting outdated.

After that, on the orders of my dear papa, I got the pressure washer out of the garage and hosed some of the patio which is covered in green algae stuff. Similar to hosing down dishes and almost as dull. Great day off!

Part-way through my hosing Sarah decided to play Smash Bros, so I handed over to my dad and joined her. After only one owning she demanded to be on a team with me, so we did that for a while, which was pretty much the highlight of my day. I should quit the diary-style posting, my life is way too dull.

[Edit 00:24 - Cossacks 2 has finally been released! Hurrah! It only got 2/5 stars from the Times reviewer. He reckoned it's too similar to the original, and that the new features don't really add much. Spoilsport! There are some respectable online reviews, but judging from the previous one, however, I'll wait a year for the updated, bugless version with extra units and all, and if it's better then, when I might have a computer capable of running it, I'll buy it. Until then I'll stick to playing the original, or, at the moment, Jimmy's GameCube. I think I can look after it nicely while he goes to France for a month!]
