1 week

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been 7 days since my last confession. Only joking. I haven't really got a confession but it has been a week since I last wrote here. Sorry. I can't even say I've been busy because I've not. Well, not massively so.

This past week has been a mixed bunch really. Some good, some bad, and some mediocre stuff has happened in the various facets of my existence that you so love to read about lol. Ok, so you don't love it but at least you read. Oh, you don't read, well that's depressing, for me.

Anyway, enough talking to myself... get on with it!

So last week I saw the new Star Trek film, as well you know, and tonight I went to see Angels & Demons. I never managed to read the whole book before I saw the film but I read enough to know that the plot was tampered with excessively. I hate that kind of shit. An author writes a best selling book and it's made into a film... you;d have thought that the book being very popular would tell the screem play writers that it's good enough to be left alone but no! They mess with it and change stuff, altering the very essence of the story. It's bullshit. Another thing that pisses me off about film adaptations of stories with religious connitations... the fucking church can't stand to be critisised and so threatens all sorts of action just to have itself portrayed in a glorious light, or at least not a bad light. So... the film was ok but i could tell they'd fucked with it.

Last night I got my Online Champion trophy for Unreal. I now have 16 days left of 200 frags per day to get my Get a Life trophy and subsequently my platinum trophy... my very first one! The end is in sight but I doubt it'll stop me from playing so much. I'm enjoying playing with people online. There's a sort of camradery there that's appealing. I guess I should thank DX, my very first RPF (random psn friend) for helping me so much with my trophies because it's made me want to do that for other people. It's the gift that keeps giving lol. This past week I've helped 2 people get their insane campaign trophies and partly helped out a few others. I don't even class it as help because I enjoy the game play even if insane mode is a little too hard to not get stressed out about lol. So... all these people I build rapports with and enjoy gaming with are filling up my friends list. I'd probably have more but quite a few ignore friend requests. I might have to start doing that at some point but until I forget where I met them they can stay lol.

Talk of this brings on anoyther point... Yes I have been known to stay up until silly o'clock gaming but yesterday I surpassed that by staying up until midday and going to work on less than 3 hours sleep. Neesless to say I got moaned at... a permenant fixture that is now. Not happy with me gaming for ages, even if I give up the ghost to do other, more socially acceptable, things but I have to be thoroughly enthused about them too. I can't help what I want to do. You request compromise. I do. You moan... still. I'll stop villifying now I've vented a little.

Oh... I'm now diseased. No, not deceased, fool! I've got my very first cold sore. I'm really not happy. I went 30 years without having a single one. Mum gets them. All my BF's have had them and yet I managed to remain free of them until now. A guy at work had a swig of one of my lovely iced lattes, knowingly didn't tell me he had a cold sore coming up, and loe... a week later, when I'm on my monthly I get a dirty great cold sore on my bottom lip. It's nearly gone now but is still sore as hell and randomly splits. When I first figured out what it was I was nearly in tears. I've been almost obsessed with avoiding infection that I refuse to go near Dave when I so much as suspect he has one. Karl fucking Jones.... what a fucking toss pot. So now that I'm practically a leper I guess it's my duty to keep others safe from, well, me I guess lol.

It's now sleepy time... sweet dreams.
