It's the weekend!!

Well it's Saturday morning and I've just finished my first night shift in ages. Feeding babies at 2 in the morning is not recommended!! I didn't have a bad time of it though, ended up passing out on the sofa till Bastain woke me up!

But now I've woken to another beautiful day, though it did rain last night and I was too lazy to bring the washing in! I'm making a start on a new game today John Woo's Stranglehold so lots of slow-mo bullet time for me over the next few days. Myself and Stacey actually managed to play a little bit of L4D2 last night together with the Gamerkitten guys (www.gamerkitten.com - It's worth checking out to avoid teenage kids when you play online), that is until both Brandon and Bastian kicked off.

I also managed to get my assignment in on time which is a double bonus. Ok, so it was 750 words on how I think I've been doing on the course so far, but still I did it in half an hour and if I get my best score on it so far I'll be laughing!!

And now I've got tonight to look forward to, off down to the Railway for pre drinks then off to S.N.A.P. for a night out for once. It'll be good to get out again as I've missed it slightly and it could be the last time for awhile now.

Best of all, myself and Stacey are getting on better again. Let me pre warn anyone, pregnancy will strain any relationship but bear through it till the babys born and everything tends to right itself eventually!

And that's it for me as I hear Brandon call down to be let out for the day!! One last point, if anyone is interested in going to the eurogamer expo let us know as it looks frickin awesome!

Tis a beautiful sight, the sun in the morning


Well, it's an early entry today. I've fed both Brandon and Sebastian now, though Brandon is currently screaming in my ear as he wants chocolate and thats not an option for breakfast. But now he's quietened up I can enjoy my lovely cup of coffee, in my current favourite Official Steampunk Exhibition mug, sitting by an open window.

Funnily enough, theres actually a little safety net web from one corner of the window. You know the sort of web that's just a mass of strands as if to catch a spider of it fell from higher up. I've also got a beautiful tree in full blossom to look at too.

All in all it's a good morning even if I've been up since 6am and didn't get to sleep till 2am. The joy of kids! But today I've got to finish my assignment which is going to be overdue, we're off to register Sebastian at the council and then I'm cooking Southern fried beans and rice for dinner

Not exactly the most interesting day ever imaginable, but if you don't have dull days how can you expect to enjoy the exciting days. On a side note I've really got to get back into the habit of exercising again. Definitely time for me to start looking after myself a little better, especially the way my back is twinging lately.

Well thats all for now, I'll leave with a final pic from when I was playing COD4:MW a little while back and found this guy in probably the most painful death ever!


Today I joined the Mile High Club!

Well firstly that's not what you may think. It's about the achievement on COD 4. Yep after much patience I finally beat COD 4 into the ground and 100% the beast.

Outside of my gaming, its been a quiet day, Stacey is on the mend now and has actually gone off to Bingo tonight, so you never know with COD beaten and Sebastian born, perhaps Stacey winning will be the third piece of luck.

I also cooked a lovely vegetable jambalaya today which went down a treat, definitely enjoying this vegetarian cooking lark, and my cooking skills are improving every day.

Anyway got to shoot, Sebastian is calling for food, and Brandon need some sleep!

Well the whole family's home now!

Today is the first day that the whole of our little family are at home. And unsurprisingly it's been hard work. Stacey being completely laid up after the c-section means I'm running around sorting out Brandon, Courtney and the new-born Sebastian. I'm knackered!!

But sensibly I thought what should I do toady, I know I'll clear the garden. And well I have kinda!! Now you can see the bottom of the garden, but the actual middle of the garden is full of cut bits of tree!!

On the plus side, I now get plenty of gaming time in the evening as Stacey is too tired to do anything! The down side is that at the moment I'm attempting the Mile high club achievement on COD4 as well as just ranking up on Bioshock 2. Thankfully I'm also doing spots of Forza 3, Blue dragon and L4D2 to give me a break occasionally.

I've also got to try and finish my next assignment by Friday but that's not going to be difficult as its contemplative assignment. Must also sort out my songs for the alternative night coming up, but now I've got to shoot as Sebastian is going up the hospital for blood sugar tests!

An introduction

I've started these before and wrote long intros about who I am and what I do. But to be honest, this is more a place for em to say how I really feel, and what happens to me. So if you read enough of this you'll get to know me pretty well I guess. If you do actually know me too, maybe you'll realise theres slightly more to me than the crazy loveable fool that everybody knows!
