Taxii
29 04 2006There’s nothing quite like going to bed on a Saturday evening, knowing full well that you’re not even halfway through the weekend. I’m getting quite familiar with the situation too, what with all the bank holidays that seem to be all over the place these days.
This amount of time off is giving me an adequate period of reflection and consideration, which I have been sorely in need of. I’ve decided though, that the Wii is a crap name no matter how you look at it.
After almost 24 solid hours of mockery, during which every “wee” related pun that exists was surely used by Ian and I, we got the chance to tell Josh the wonderful news as well. He ran the same gamut of emotions I did, though in a different order. I began with Anger, moved to Confusion, and settled with Disappointment. He started with Confusion, moved through to Anger, and I believe will be hitting the Disappointment zone soon enough. It’s a sick, sad day to be a Nintendo fan.
Though that doesn’t stop me bookending my days with Tetris DS. Oh god how I love Tetris DS.
During lunchtime at work I managed to get my car tax with the minimum of fuss. It was shocking how fast they managed to process my desire to give them a hundred quid, because in previous years it’s been a real trial - last year I had to go to several post offices to find one that did car tax and believed that my insurance cover note wasn’t a photocopy, two years previously they had all kinds of problems with what my address was supposed to be on certain documents, and I can’t remember the intervening year so I’m sure it was an equally horrendous experience that I’ve repressed completely. I’m hoping to do it online next year once I should have all the requisite updated forms, and I’m sure that’ll come with an entirely new set of problems all its own. All this for money I don’t even think I should pay to a government that I don’t think deserves it. Christ.
