More of my friends are having babies.

Obviously this brings up many complicated and contradictory emotions that aren’t worth explaining.

Mark’s tips for Eurovision

Will win: Charlotte Perelli from Sweden

Would win in an ideal world: the Pirates of the Sea, from Latvia. Or the French guy.

OH CRAP in looking up the name of the Latvian entry I accidentally saw who the winner was. I suck :(

So does Europe.

Wii?

Ok, I thought I should post something a) fun b) interesting, so:

Folks, yesterday I played Nintendo Wii for the first time. I know, I’ve come along a bit late and everyone’s already tried it, but here’s my opinion anyway. I like it, but I don’t like playing it. What does that mean? Well, on the one hand I think it’s a great idea - the motion-sensitive controllers are really fun, and they make for some interesting games. Wii Sports tennis is especially cool. On the other hand, the whole thing sucks ergonomically. The batteries in the controllers are too heavy which means you get tired really quickly, and the movements you have to do are often repetitive. For example, in Resident Evil you reload by flicking your controller, which pretty much canes after fifteen minutes of intense zombie-shooting. So, while the Wii is a cool idea, I would never actually want one.

OK, I’m gonna go play ye olde PS2 now.

OK, I haven’t posted in a while. Thing is, I was looking at chapter 2 of my thesis and I decided it was a bit crap. Big issues, you know? And just to show you how big: it took me half a day to get the first paragraph in order, and it wasn’t even a very long paragraph. Things are going a little faster now, but it’s still provoking some hardcore cranial insanitosis. How sweet it would be to have a blank page again instead of one filled with little mistakes :(

Apart from that, the only thing on my mind is how I forgot to pick up cheese at the shops. Nothing much to blog about sorry!

I have to go edit now.

(thumb wars photos)

We went away for the weekend but I forgot to take any photos. Except for these ones of Tom and Tim having a thumb war. They both wanted to win pretty badly. And it got totally gay.

Mad cheating at thumb wars.
