Apologies for not being about for a couple of weeks - I've been stupidly busy and stupidly unlucky.

So, firstly, my laptop and phone died on me within the space of a couple of days. I figured I'd get them both repaired under warranty... but that wasn't the case. The laptop manufacturer classed it as a "user-induced fault" (total bullshit, by the by) and lumped me with a £265 repair charge. That's money I don't have. So, I've been spending the past couple of weeks furiously job hunting/taking one to two day oddjob opportunities in a bid to raise funds.

I've since found my old decrepit laptop, so I'm not at a total loss. But, yeah, that's why I've been absent as of late.

In happier news, I'll have a 3DS XL, Pokemon Y and Luigi's Mansion 2 by the end of the summer as a mate has offered to sell his barely used 3DS to me for the very generous price of £135 for the lot. So, hurrah on that front!

Wahoo! Glad to see you back - also, that you finally have a current-gen. Nintendo console. Does this mean you'll bump all the 3DS threads now too?

I don't have the 3DS yet - I will soon though! And yep, especially the 3DS deals thread! I'm looking to get Fire Emblem soon once I work my way through Pokemon and Luigi's Mansion.

Hot on the heels of beemoh, I am also now employed. Well done team.

Technically I'm not full time.

That tagline's dead in the water, then!

Again! this is where emoticons can help.

I started my new job this monday, unfortunately by this point my feet have been reduced to blistered wrecks. At least the scenery is nice and I get fresh air!

What are you up to, Vido?

Working at a garden cafe. Most of the time I end up clearing tables but ocassionally I get to sell Pimms! I like talking to the customers so both suit me fine.

As for the blister issue I bought some specialist plasters, as I took of my shoes today to inspect the damage I layed out the pus ridden plaster on the stairs only for my sister to come sprinting past, stepping straight onto it.

   

Well that was a lovely story that I definitely wanted to read.  

Small boast time: I sang in this over the weekend. It was good fun, although the sports personalities did go on a bit. I will also be singing in this, if anyone fancies playing "Spot the Balladeer" when it is inevitably televised.

How you end up in that.

I went paint balling today, didn't get hit once. Killed (guess you call it that) 5 people and we won all are game's.

Also tried to chat up some Italian girls.

Joined the right chorus at the right time, and decided that it'd be good for a laugh. Which it was! Sang O Fortuna, You'll Never Walk Alone, and We Are the Champions. The next one is more my sort of thing, though.

It also gives me hope that a videogame music prom may someday soon be a thing. The Zelda 25th Anniversary concerts have shown that such things can (a) work and (b) be popular.
