Disorganised

I feel really disorganised with uni this semester. I'm pretty much up to date with all my work, but I have piles of junk everywhere. Usually I have all my stuff for each subject all in order in a folder, but at the moment I have a bunch of empty folders and random stacks of paper. I really should organise it a little better, but I really can't be bothered. I probably do it in the midsemester break, but most of my assessments will be done by then.

Oh.. speaking of assessments I got 88 percent for the knowledge management quiz I did last week. Pretty happy with that.

I got a pirate goblet a few days ago, so I'll write about that when I can be bothered.

Xbox 360

I picked up an xbox 360 yesterday, and have been playing a bit since then. I went for the 'elite' model which is black and has a larger hard dick then the normal model. It came in some pack thing with a couple of games. Halo 3 and Gears of War, in case you were wondering. The gears case was broken and the disc wouldn’t run, so I had to exchange it this morning. Despite the broken game, I was pleased with the level of packaging. Overall there was relatively less than that of the Wii, with the majority being cardboard.

I played halo for a bit and it didn't really seem anything special, I'll probably give it another go during the holidays. Gears is fun, and will be more so when I rope some sucker in to play co-op with me. As repeatedly killing people can get old I bought Skate today as well (as well as what? I don't know, it's late and I'm sleepy). It is also fun. You just ride around doing tricks, not much to it really. The control scheme is different to all the other skating games I’ve played (ie the tony hawk series), so I still need some time to develop appropriate psychomotor skills (eg making the little guy jump over things, not go faster and crash into them, which happens quite a lot). Did that paragraph make sense? I don’t think it did.

Zack and Wiki

I had an interesting idea for a post a couple of days ago, but I couldn't log on so you miss out. Also I've forgotten what it was.

I bought "Zack and Wiki: the quest for Barbaro's treasure" yesterday. It sort of an old point and click adventure, but with crazy controls. So far I've opened umbrellas, cut down trees, dropped mushrooms into soup, etc. Fun stuff! It reminds me of playing games when I was little. Back before the ubiquity of the internet, getting stuck in games meant calling up the hint line (I think some games might still have that) or use the hint book along with some red transparency. I don't remember why you needed that, maybe they put the solutions so they couldn't be read, but general hints so you could.

I had an exam for knowledge management on Tuesday. Not sure how I went. There were forty multiple choice questions and I was out in something like ten minutes. That means I either went really well, or really badly.

Whatever...

The truth is out there

We bought the first six seasons of the x-files the other day, due to the Olympics removing all the normal stuff from the telly. It's been fun re-watching old episodes, as I used to watch it weekly when I was little and it was first on. It's strange how many episodes I don't remember at all, and how many I remember. I guess they must have replayed some episodes more than others or something. Didn't get the last three seasons as the get all weird when Mulder leaves and that new fellow joined. I think I'd stopped watching long before then anyway.

I used to read the novels and I still have one x-files t-shirt from then, so I must have been right into it, although I do not really remember.

Dr Pepper

We bought a six pack of Dr Pepper yesterday. That is exciting as they typically don't sell it here. There is an 'imports' lolly shop just down the road from me, although I've never been there before. I haven't had Dr Pepper since I was on holiday last year. If you don't like it then you have poor taste in good things.

They also had chocolate and stuff from England. If I'm feeling motivated in the next couple of months I might do an entry where I buy a bunch of stuff and put pics up here. Also I get to eat candy. There was pop tarts too, which have disappeared from the shops here.

Intentions

Just started this page. Like the one you are reading now. I mean it’s not like the one you are reading, it is the one you are reading.

The green layout is fairly offensive to me, I don't know why I picked it.

If I just feel like posting useless junk I'll do it here and keep my other page for my minis only. I'd post a link except that feels too much like work, and I’m posting here to avoid work. So if I was going to do that I may as well do work.


Whatever....
