I’m giving up wine

16 Jun 2010

For serious.  Usually I say oh la la I am giving up alcohol, woe is me, my head, etc, but seriously.  I am giving up wine and making a permanent swap to gin.  Gin was always my first love.  Well that’s not true, vodka was, but you know when you vom up something real bad [...]

Stuff that has been going on

28 Mar 2010

Firstly, I’ve a new job, again.  I’m working at a Turkish place with the sweetest people ever.  However, they’ve taken offence to my small size and I swear are trying to fatten me up.  I had a traditional Turkish breakfast yesterday of  bread, tomatoes, white cheese, olives and cucumber which made me giggle as that’s [...]

Twenty Ten

01 Jan 2010

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! What a year 2009 was. I’m quite proud of what I managed to get through and accomplish and my amazing travels which I’ll keep with me for the rest of my life. I’ve been homeless, jobless, employed, jobless, employed, robbed, homesick and not wanting to go home at all. [...]

Impatience

12 Jun 2009

How long does it take for leg hair to grow?!  I have been growing out these suckers for a week and a half now, they have got no where near the recommended length (0.5mm) to wax.  I have been going to the gym in SHAME for the state of them at the moment as the [...]

Spore: A small victory for gamers

17 Sep 2008

Victory indeed. There’s nothing more satisfying than finally seeing EA humbled before the masses. Forbes has reported Spore to be the most pirated game ever, thanks to its aggressive and obnoxious security measures. As a member of Sims 2 communities, I know for a fact EA refuses to listen to its community, but it seems [...]

Spore DRM

09 Sep 2008

Well, the game everyone wanted is out after years of the release date getting pushed back. Spore has come out with a new friend however. The same friend that was the cause of me vowing to never legally acquire anything from EA ever again. Hello to SecuRom, the same shit infested security software that has [...]

The twitching in my eye has stopped now

26 Aug 2008

Wow I’ve bitched a lot the last week. Now for something different. Since moving to London, I have become one of the faces in the crowd of public transport commuters. It takes 40 minutes of having my face smooshed against the doors to get to work. This morning I actually got my arm and handbag [...]

I suppose it all does seem a bit stupid from an outsiders perspective

13 Jul 2008

“How much time do you spend fixing that game as opposed to actually PLAYING it? I’ve never once seen you play it. Ever. How can it constantly be glitched?” “It just is” “Why don’t EA Games just release an expansion pack that is full of glitches and bugs, that will take you months to get [...]
