Well today has been eventful on SOOO many fronts. Although the day started off quite slowly, with me lying in for ages, and Aoife going off to her father’s house for the weekend (it seems) – it did turn quite eventful later on.

After making two attempts to get a definite answer from Avril about going to the Blanch centre for shopping, I finally got the “Yes” I was looking for. So, I went down to Blanch, picked her up, and off we went. A nice touch I felt, was Avril wearing her nice new DCU hoodie that she got from Santa. To be entirely honest, if she wears that hoodie, with a little bit of make-up on as she did today, she could pass off as a college student you know!

Anyway, en route the conversation shifted to presents. Avy was very excited about the DS Lite I got, mainly since she’s been wanting one for ages as well. I was even more excited when I head she had got a 360! Especially when Avy’s not the kind of person I’d consider would be a 360 gamer! So once she manages to find the missing section of the power cable (she’s so clumsy!), it’s go time! That is if we have the same games…

Back to shopping, there was a lot. And I seriously mean, a lot. GAME was the first port of call for obvious reasons . Although packed, the queue didn’t last that long. In all, I only spent €260… However, it did manage to get a good few things such as:

• Live Vision camera – for video chats, plus it’s better quality than my current PC camera!
• Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Warchest – for the PC, now I can play with EVO on the MOHAA server!
• NASCAR 08 – glad it finally got released over here!
• Halo 3 – now STFU about me not owning a copy!
• CoD 4 – yea, it looks good, and everyone is playing it. Although the PC version would have let me play with EVO, but then again it probably wouldn’t have run…

And, no that wasn’t it. Off to Argos later to spend €250 on a new digital camera (and memory for it). I’ve been needing a proper camera for a while to take decent pictures! Especially this one of my copy of Halo 3 – and Baby Bear posing alongside to prove it is my own copy!

And with all the shopping done, and the packaging ripped off and the rest, it was time to upload them. But I guess things got the better of me and the whole site has been re-done – especially as it’s now more a site and less a blog. You can still see the blog, but now you can also find the gallery, and the others. I especially like the new navbar, and especially the way that the left sidebar only opens on the blog with all the blog links – and stays hidden on others so that there’s more room!

So yea, consider my debit card out of bounds for the next month or so, and the site in beta until I can find all the bugs
