Have you ever wished Peggle and cats and sushi into the same game? No? Well somebody clearly has. Sushi Cat is basically Peggle, you drop the cat into rows of sushi to fatten it up for a sumo competition, there are obstacles and bonuses and little boxes at the bottom. It’s just like Peggle except it is the same few levels repeated over and over. It’s addictive until you realise you’ve lost brain functions and your brain becomes roughly as squishy as the sushi eating cat itself.

It appears to have taken me several months to finish watching Code Geass. I’m too easily distracted. Things to do in WoW, DAO to play, Twilight books to read, blogging to do, though I finished it yesterday. There are no spoilers in this blog post.

My thoughts, well, R2 was good. After series 1 finishes, and you start watching R2, well, I found myself thinking, “Wtf..” But after a few episodes it picks back up and introduces a few new characters (Xingke <3) and it works, I liked the story. The ending was good, final enough to leave it there, but open enough to perhaps pick up a movie or something. I have heard rumours of a third series, more like a prequel, a previous story in C.C.’s life, but I’m a bit dubious about the idea to be honest, I’m not sure how they can go about it. We’ll have to see if it’s true or not first but there is announced a new ‘Code Geass project’ for 2010.

Now I’m watching through Serial Experiments Lain, so far I think she’s on acid.. then I decided no, she’s not on acid, but she’s definitely on some kind of freaky drug. Very weird, but strangely hooked on it.

I’ve lost the source, never intended to post the images, but…

Really had a good fiddle around with the header image last night, I’m really proud of the final result I picked font colours to match C.C’s hair and my Twitter button, and then a couple of characters I also like, who just happened to compliment the colours I used too. Lucky. I really like how simplistic it is.

I also finished the last book in the Twilight series in my boredom. What a disappointing ending! It was a good series, not the best I’ve ever read though. One problem Stephenie Meyer has is that she takes so long to get the actual main storyline in the book going, and then the main storyline is nowhere near as long as the getting there. The books could be much more exciting in my opinion, but a decent series. Picked up Beedle the Bard now which was a present from Dan for Christmas 2008, figured I should read that.

I’m now trying to finally sort out my graphics card, which is apparently faulty, but I have to ring Overclockers, and I’m so untechnically minded it’s not true, I don’t have a clue what to say! So it will probably be, “Hi, I need to send my graphics card back it’s faulty.”

“What seems to be the problem?”

“Erm.. it crashes.. my PC does, and erm.. online games have had really low frames per second since I bought it.. I just couldn’t afford to go without a PC for a while..”

“Can you go into any more detail?”

“No.. :<”

And then they proceed to convince me it’s not my graphics card and they give me some crap advice that doesn’t work. My assumption anyway, I don’t like customer support, it’s always been shit. I doubt “my friend told me to” is going to be much of a reason to send it back.

I spent a lot of time yesterday reading. You know, I really missed being a bookworm. Barely reading 1 book a year was making me feel bad about myself. I guess that happens when you grow up a bookworm and suddenly you’d rather play games than read. As much as people blame Twilight for ‘ruining the vampire genre’ and for making Robert Patterson more famous than he should be, perhaps that’s just me though, I love it, it’s brought back my love of reading, the same way Harry Potter did when I first read that. I’ve got an entire book shelf of books I’ve never read or can’t remember the storyline of and can’t decide what to read next. It’s exciting almost! Yes, I’m that weird.

Thing is, last night I had ideas for things to do in WoW, after a few coins towards an achievement I’m working on, decided I didn’t care at that moment in time and there was nothing on the computer I wanted to do (aside from perhaps retry Aion as an Elyos hunter, but that wouldn’t end well!), so I went over to the bed, picked up my book, and I read for 4 or 5 hours.

By the time it got late enough to be sleepy, I was feeling ill. Sick, weak, tincy bit dizzy but not enough to worry too much over. We’d bought a jar of Korma sauce from Waitrose the week before, best before date was all the way over in November, but despite that, Dan said it was off. Weird really, he said it tasted bitter like pickle or something, smelled bad too. I literally couldn’t taste it. It didn’t taste right, but to me it just tasted like water. I only had a few bites, as did Dan, and he went to get a Chinese instead. I’m glad really, I could have eaten that whole thing, not enjoyed it but eaten it nonetheless, and we both felt ill later on. Still do now but I’m being careful. So yeah, it was off.

Random urge to defrag today too, it’s taking ages so I guess it’s a good job I did it. Dan analysed his PC and the box literally had no white space in it. Ahahaha! So little that he’s had to go around deleting stuff to make enough space just to be able to defrag. And people think I’m bad with my PC!

I’m happy today. I never post on here when I am. So here it is: I’m happy today. I hope it lasts.

We went to the cinema in town to see Avatar 3D last night. I decided it was time to take Dan there, if you’ve ever heard of Showcase cinemas? This is a .. I guess 2 year old now.. Showcase Deluxe. When you sit in the seats.. they fucking lean back it’s so comfy. I can see a lot of people nodding off and wasting their £8 tickets in this place. Cinema got expensive while I wasn’t looking! Anyway, nice cinema, huge rooms with huge screens, surely the best place to see 3D films. There are 2 other cinemas, both equally as uncomfortable as each other, one is convenient though.

Aanyway. The film, I’m going to say I don’t think it’s worth all of the hype. It’s a beautiful film, really bloody beautiful. Storyline is decent, even if it’s extremely predictable. Decent acting, I spotted both the man robot from the most recent Terminator film, and Phoebe’s half brother from Friends, ha. Go me, didn’t have to IMBD or anything. So yeah, definitely worth seeing, in 3D. Just ignore the hype and go there because you want to see it, not because somebody else said it was amazing.

Afterwards we went for a meal, Dan wanted sushi so we went to one of the all you can eat Chinese places, except they had I think 7 waitresses in a tiny room.. always hovering. Pretty annoying. The food’s a bit boring there too. It’s a nice place for lunch, but I’m not so fond of it later on anymore. I was pretty tired when we got home, in fact, really struggled to wake up this morning.

Ended up dreaming I was in Big Brother, and the first few of us escaped to see one of their houses or something, and they all went off without me so his mum had to give me a lift in. When we got back there were 2 more contestants. One chavvy girl and a dude with a beard. We were allowed to write letters home, so I wrote one to my dad and Dan. That part was quite sad because I missed them both. Then the rest of the contestants showed up and one of them was a guy I knew in college. I tried to wake up then, kept nodding off and dreaming more little bits.. Now for something completely different.

I felt shitty. So I went through my “Bored” bookmarks folder, finding a website I hadn’t really perused yet: MyLifeIsAverage. Also, Epic Win FTW. I thought I’d share a few, you can guess where they came from, not me. I’m now smiling again. I felt this was worth sharing.

Halfway through reading these, Dan walked in and put a T-shirt on the polar bear.

• Today, I had chinese food and I ate a fortune cookie on it said “Once in a while you should look back” so i turned around to see my boyfriend with flowers. MLIA
• Today, I was reading MLIA on my iPhone and noticed an advertisement for a Where’s Waldo application. Excited, I opened the app store on my phone and searched for it. I couldn’t find it. Well played, Waldo. MLIA
• Today, I lost my grandmother. I searched the whole house looking for her. I freaked out and couldn’t work out where she has gone, I even called my mum telling her I lost her. When I was on the phone I heard a giggle coming from the pantry. She thought it would be fun to hide and see how long it would take me to find her. Well done nan well done. MLIA
• Today on my drive home, I was in a rap mood. While looking around to make sure no cars were around me, I started too slouch and proceed to put one hand on the wheel, roll down my windows, and put on the most bad ass rap song I could find on the radio. In an attempt to look hardcore, I started to do a lip curl that I had seen 50 cent do in a music video. I eventually end up at a stop light and look over to the car on my left, just to see a car full of actual gangsters. One of them looks at me, nods, and says “legit”. I’m a skinny white girl who feels pretty hood right about now.
• Today, I just got my books for bible class. I got book number 69 and inside was a note that said “Don’t think that! You are in Bible class!” MLIA.
• Today I was walking in the mall and I fell over a sign that I completely didn’t see. While I was sprawled on the ground, an old man came up and asked if I was okay. I replied, “Yup, just taking a nap.” To my surprise he said, “I was thinking the same thing,” and laid down next to me. Five minutes later, he was snoring. MLIA
• Last night, I was really hot in bed, so I took one leg out of the covers. Then I got scared because it was too dark and my leg felt unprotected from somthing hiding under my bed. So I put it back under the blankets. MLIA

aaaaaand

For the past week, I’ve been sleeping quite badly. You know, I didn’t realise that frequent waking in the night is a form of insomnia? I assumed Insomnia was just the inability to get to sleep for long periods of time. Apparently not. So yeah, a lot of that night waking. Which I think is connected to my anxiety, but who knows, I have had a pretty shitty week, it would make sense. I’ve been getting more and more physically tired and the past couple of nights have had really vivid dreams..

The night before last..

It slips my memory a little now, as dreams tend to do, but I remember being in a small bedroom, with drawers, and old school friends, who I think were convincing me to get pregnant, which I didn’t want to do of course.

Suddenly Dan was rushing me away, telling me we had to get on the ship. There was this GIANT and I mean GIANT like.. spaceship thing with huge steps to get on, as we got on the steps the climate change started to take place and the seas became rougher, and there were tidal waves everywhere and tornados and the earth was being wrecked.

We were on an escape ship, along with about .. probably 4,000 other people. All sat in rows on this spaceship, like we were at the cinema but of course much bigger. There were bars and sweet shops.. and there were boys from my year in school (obviously older now but they weren’t acting it) throwing drink bottles at each other. One was taken into ‘confinement’ because well, it’s dangerous, and a waste. We were heading to Mars.

Last night…

I dreamt that I was running around trying to complete quests (this part was WoW based) and my God, I can’t really explain the scenery, kind of autumn English countryside, sort of brownish, but beautiful. I went the wrong way had to go back, bla bla.. hmm this bit becomes a bit hazy, something happened.

Then there was this GIANT beast, yes, my dreams currently feature large overpowering objects. This beast was .. probably the size of a city, covered in hundreds of pink tentacles with sucky things on the end. It swept the countryside, using the tentacles to extract human beings into itself. I’m not sure why it was, but I think it was collecting humans, or trying to clean up the earth like a huge alien vacuum cleaner..

It sucked me up with a load of other people, and in there I think there were gases, which made their way down the tentacles in order to evaporate human life. I managed to escape, and at this part of the dream I became Greg House. (I don’t know..) He was with Wilson, talking, they were clearly in love. At the seaside. The tentacle monster came again, and we swam away, hiding under the water. Little did we know we couldn’t avoid this alien.

There was a small woman stood there, staring at us. Looking very angry. We couldn’t escape now, there was no use in running, so we went with her, there was another lady with us but I don’t know who she was, apparently we knew her. Anyway, she took us into a white medical looking room, past a wet room style shower. There were 3 hooks, ready for us to be tied to, except the lady gave me a gas mask I had to put on. She was going to keep me alive and make me watch my friends die. It is important to note that this lady is a human embodiment of the pink tentacle monster.

The gases came, I cried, kicking in the corner, as I knew they were dying. While they threw.. cans of food at the tentacle walls. It was the sharpest and heaviest objects they could find, and I stayed in the corner, crying, and kicking, knowing there was nothing could be done and if I joined in I’d die too.. Well they succeeded and I felt terrible. They understood though.

Then something about school, the last day of school, being really sad about it. And my mum was there..

To sum up..

My dreams are freaky! Really. I can’t think where these dreams came from, the only film I’ve watched recently was Sherlock Holmes, I don’t remember any spaceships or tentacle monsters in that film. I hope I can sleep tonight.

Sod it. SNOW DAMN YOU! I’ve complained and complained but I’m in no hurry in the next week or so, it can snow. Let people have their days off work because the buses stop running complaining “OH NOES! An inch of snow! Run for cover!”

That’s all.
