Diary of an up and coming sociopath

well, it’s fair to say I gave up on the 2-day thingy pretty fast. I’ll try harder this time.

Nikki and I had Friday off work (and have Monday to come) because neither of us has had any time off since Christmas. It’s not a huge amount of time but stretched out over the weekend it feels like far more than it reasonably should. It’s Saturday night and I’m only halfway through the total time off! It’s great.

I’ve been playing Trauma Center a lot recently but the charm’s wearing off. I want to complete it but the difficulty is ramping up to the point where it’s almost not worth the effort. I may have to jack it in soon and find a new game to play (I’m eying up Phoenix Wright as a similar attempt at non-standard gaming) but in the meantime it’s been fun. It’s also given me a headache and a pain in my stylus arm, which I suspect is proof I overdid it today. Though it could be related to a party-popper exploding incident that would’ve left a lesser man crippled. Suspicious, don’t you think, that Nikki couldn’t get it to pop and passed it to me to do for her, only to have the resultant pop nearly take my hand off? It takes more than that to shuffle me off the coil though. I was jitterbugging that very night.

I also feel like noting that Josh and I have basically given up on Hyperdrive. We gave it longer than most people but by god, the humour is thin on the ground. The problem is that just when I’m thinking sitcoms are dead and Hyperdrive is the best UK TV can offer, the IT Crowd comes along and blows it out of the water by being far funnier. It has a kind of black books feel to it, but it must be acknowledged that it seems more down to the accent than the fact it’s Graham Lineham.
