I'm in Portugal at the moment. I was annoyed about being told about it the day before I left, but It's not so bad. It's the first holiday I've been dragged behind a speedboat on a rope before, and that was pretty fun. It's annoying that the layout of te keyboard is different though, and the fact that there are almost no bins on the streets. Carrying your rubbish halfway across town to get rid of it can get annoying.

I was with my dad, in the showroom, picking out a new car.

I know, but I saw Yodalmans shoutbox post and couldn't resist. :D

It wasn't a shower anyway. We were in a bath.

I started playing Far Cry 2 again recently. (I had stopped because my save file had got corrupted)

I'd forgotten how fun sniping is in that game, plus the occasional amazing shot that makes you stop in wonder (before getting gunned down for not paying attention)

I had also realised that I'd been playing on normal difficulty all along.
I set it to infamous and it really opened up oppurtunities for adaptive tactics.
My usual tactic is to go near a base, take out any single mercs with the dart rifle, fire a flare into the middle of the base and then shoot them down with the M1903 as they run from the flames.

The smaller max. ammo capacity and syrette capacity, coupled with the fact that I don't have ammo or medical supplies at the Bowa Seko safehouses means that I constantly have to pick up new weapons and adapt my tactics as I play. It's really increased the fun that I get from the game.

I just saw Hellboy 2, with about eight friends. It was better than I expected, but because I was the last to arrive, and there weren't enough seats in one row for all of us, I had to sit separate from them.
The only seat was in the front row (about a metre from the screen), so now I've got a sore neck from looking up for so long, and a headache from the angle that I had to watch it from.

Also, "This is your 500th login."
Yay!

I just saw The Dark Knight with TrooperDX3117. It was definately the best movie that I've seen in the last year, with an excellent story, and brilliant action, acting, and humour. It also had the best magic trick that I've ever seen.

[Edit]
One of my kittens is now dead. I had to put the body away to be buried later. Rigor Mortis had set in and it's eyes had been pecked out, so it wasn't really a very cheerful moment for me.
Not only that but the last kitten left seems to be sick now.

I've just got back from the vet. My dog had to have a tooth removed after a fight/car accident, and one of the other dogs involved is now either dying or dead.

A few weeks ago three of my cats became mothers, but a lot of the kittens have died. My favourite one just died, so now it's down to two left out of nine. It's kind of depressing the way they're just dropping like flies.

I just got a haircut for the first time in two years.
It went from shoulder length to about 5mm.
Woohoo!
