long time no post baby....

Eeeek its been a while since i posted anything on here...expect a flurry of hastily bodged together posts in the forth coming days...

Books what i have read lately..

I have taken up reading after a long break from this much loved activity. Theres something about the smell and feel of dead tree and ink your hand that makes reading a lovely thing.
I purchased a bunch of books off of the Amazon a few weeks back and i have been diligently progressing through my tomes.

Heres what i have been reading:

On the Road 

Life: Keith Richards






Shit My Dad Says






Operation Mincemeat: The True Spy Story That Changed the Course of World War II

Into the Wild

Flu

The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook

The Royal Bin laden wedding Long time update post..Boom!

Its been a few weeks since the last post, this had been due to a simple lack of effort on my behalf..i apologise.

Im posting this blog whilst sitting in the garden on a lovely sunny Monday, its warm(ish) but quite breezy...the garden is looking rather splendid (photos to follow later), my potatoe plants have gone bat shit crazy in their planter..so hopefully i shall get a good crop of spuds at some point, not exactly sure when you harvest them..any ideas?

Its been a news readers wet dream of a bank holiday weekend what with the much spaffed over Royal Wedding and now in todays breaking news of Osama Bin Ladens capture and subsequent death, its like a jackpot of news food.

The supposed death picture of Bin Laden caused much hilarity amongst many a photoshop spotter..this is one of the worst photoshops of a dead person i have ever seen...it reminds me of when i was a younger person and discovered Deluxe Paint II (or was it III) on my Amiga, there were a set of pre drawn faces and i remember drawing blood and scars on one of them and yes it was almost as good as the Bin Laden one.

Also causing much merriment was this awesome website of photoshopped russian weddings....

There really seems to be a small shrunk man in large high heeled shoe thing going on in a lot of these pictures..

Garden Time

Its been a lovely sunny weekend so some quality time was spent in the garden. Pots were filled and plants were planted.

The top part of the garden was were i spent time today, painted the wall at the side  and bought a couple of new pots and lovely little plants(dont know what they were, im useless at remembering plant names).

Yes.. you may find this dull but i do love to potter about in the garden much like an old person would, its relaxing and incredibly rewarding so yeah...eat it.

Ohhh i planted two chilli plants aswell, so i shall be charting their growing process along with  my potatoes...maybe some kind of potatoe chilli recipe will come to fruition later this year...

Note the bench which i sanded down and repainted a few weeks ago....mmmmmm

Pictures were taken using Camera+ on my iPod, the "sunkissed" filter was used as they looked really dull as i took the pictures at about 19:27.

PT + LB = Fun

This cryptic little message was spotted by myself on my way to work aboard a train, scrawled in what looks like nail varnish on the edge of the table is the almost biblical prose of:
PT + LB= FUN

I wish i was around to meet pt and lb and see if they did indeed equal fun but alas i shall never know...

Nintendo Aims to beat 6 year Old Xbox 360 with New console!!

Serial underpowered console releaser Nintendo is rumoured to be preparing to debut their next gen console at the forthcoming E3 in June.
The internet is rife with the usual rumours and idle speculation, the main rumour floating around is that it will be more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3....well you would kind of hope so seeing as the the Xbox is knocking on its 6th year of release!!

Considering the Wii is little more than a Gamecube with wifi and wii-motes, Nintendo are so far behind in the HD console race that its almost embarrassing. I dont play with my Wii too often, mainly because the decent games are so few and far between its difficult to break away from Black Ops or Red Dead long enough to try them out.,yeah yeah theres the usual Mario kart, galaxy, world games but surely they can only drag these out for so long,  Resident Evil 4 was alright, but i also had that on the Gamecube...any difference really...ermmmm...no! (even the blurred non HD graphics are pretty much the same).

Nintendo faces the difficult choice of either trying to aim their new console at the hardcore gamers of the xbox and ps3 and of their own yesteryear or the current crop of casual family gamers that have bought wii by the shed load. Im pretty sure we all know where they will go....casual all the way...

Also pricing will interesting, seeing as Nintendo likes to sell its consoles at a profit (unlike the loss making xbox and ps3) so making a high end new console and selling at a profit could see a scary high retail price.

Anyway i'll put my speculation hat away.

Oh, i have a 3DS...well my lad does, i cant say im amazed by it as of yet...again waiting for some decent games to arrive (possibly the worst line up of launch day games ever?). We have Splinter Cell (shit) and Lego Star Wars 3 (alright but nothing amazing).
