Today, not too much woke up late with a sore back again so was unable to get up for ages.

Never had a problem with them myself, Original XBox DVD drives however there were three different branded ones used throughout the Xbox's live and two of those brands they used were awful.

Watched football at work, great to see Arsenal pull off a stunning win.

Now at home with my daughter and once she goes to bed I will pile into Silent Hill 3 and then watch MotD.

Today I woke up, surprised at the lack of hangover considering the vast amounts of cocktails I consumed last night. Received many packages in the post with pretty, pretty things (Lanyards and games). Went out into Johnstone town to pick up some food supplies and stuff from the post office. Bought some more prizes to give away during my "Geekton Factor" gameshow (which will be held at Kitacon in April) And now I've come home to spend my evening listening to trashy 90's pop music while playing Donkey Kong 2 on the Snes ^^

Going to see Paranormal Activity 3 tonight. Wish me luck. I saw the first to in the comfort of my own home and duvet, but actually heading to the cinema this time.

In other news, I got this from Uni yesterday :lol:

I've always wanted a giant Irn Bru.

My boyfriend has a glass bottle of that sitting under his desk at the moment. We're going to use it in the next Team Neko drinks review video along with a bottle of turnip juice! XD

Very nice :) I'm forever going to want to drink Irn Bru because of that thing. I mean.. It's a giant tasty looking Irn Bru bottle.. Also It's a good thing I live around the corner from my Uni, I didn't have far to carry it.. This has actually been one of the most random things that's happened during my life as a student so far! :lol: Well it sure brightens up the hallway.

Oh and Paranormal Activity 3 was rubbish, in my opinion. I liked the first one but it went downhill from there for me.
Afterwards my boyfriend and I were feeling slightly peckish so we went to Yo Sushi for a plate of Chicken Katsu Curry. It was nice. That's where we had our first date about a year ago :)

Shame we tend to boycott the place nowadays because it's so expensive! We found a better sushi bar in town anyway, so much better value for money :D

It's funny, We don't normally crave Irn Bru until we go to an anime convention, and they're always held down around the Birmingham area, and we always have hard time finding the stuff XD My mates car is going to be packed with a 12 pack of tins to take down in April....along with the vast amounts of booze we're forcing him to take for us XD

As for Yo! Sushi, I freaking love that place! I agree though, they're pretty expensive, but 99.9% of the stores do a special called "Blue Plate Mondays" and quite a few of their more expensive dishes are only £2.30. Me and Tom go to the one on Buchannan Street most mondays so I can get my fill of Chicken Katsu and he can eat as much sashimi as his body has room for (which is usually quite a lot)

This was taken on our second date...that was just his plates

:lol:

Yes I know about Blue Mondays, I've been to the place a fair few times (mainly when I started uni and thought money would never run out), but I still couldn't be that reckless there. To me, £2.30 is still ridiculous for a tiny plate. The only reason I go to have the Chicken Katsu curry is because it's actually really filling. Plus the other sushi bar we found is so much nicer. It's very small and usually quite quiet, so there isn't all the hustle and bustle that there is in Yo Sushi. A very nice atmosphere. Plus a can of coke only costs 70p.

Anyway. On topic, I'm going to the Gaming Society tonight for gaming, socialising and drinks :D Until then, I'm thinking I might play around with some hama beads and make some new sprites.

I also have 2 plushies that I need to work on. I'm very pleased because one of my friends has actually asked me to make a plush for his fiancee's xmas present! :)

Ooooh, another Badminton player :D

There's Super Badminton 2010 for the iPhone which looks like utter crap. I think the new Mario & Sonic Olympic games actually has Badminton which got me excited watching the trailer :mrgreen: Actually I think a couple of Wii games have Badminton. At least Wii Sports Island and Racquet Sports do. Still need to try any of them though.

The important question - feather shuttlecocks or not? I personally dont like them.


Good shout! I'll have to pick up Mario & Sonic 2012. Such a unique scenario having both Mario and Sonic in the same game (still sounds weird saying it!).

Which is why I picked up this little beauty when the winter version come out:
