[x] Two 1gb sticks of RAM arrived in the post at work for me today. Took them home, put them in the computer and lo it appears to be working! His Lordship is running some bad sector repairs on the hard drives and had tried things that are a bit memory intensive like photoshop and firefox to see if it crashes and so far it hasn't *crosses fingers that it stays this way* We're not even getting corrupted file or registry errors so it looks like it's on the mend. I am banned from using it now. This makes me emo as I have episodes of Chuck and Pushing Daisies to watch. wah!!!

[x] His Lordship's £150 present from HMV also finally turned up. I never realised that a computer game weighed so much. Especially when the last Guitar Hero game weighed so little :D

[x] ALL MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IS NOW DONE! *\o/*

[x] Special post has gone out today to doylefan22 and dune_drd. Special post for chicklet73 will go out tomorrow once I've picked up a DWM for you. More special post is still to go out but I'm not going to have time to get them finished until the weekend.

[x] Been granting wishes on holiday_wishes. Well, offering to grant them anyway. I now need to dig out some beads, some glue and buy some postcards and make an LJ layout to actually fulfill them. if you have a similar wishlist on your journal's and I've not left a comment on it already point me in it's direction, yeah.

[x] Going to Bingo tomorrow (shut up). This time last year one of my workmates won a 42 inch plasma telly at the bingo. Not bad for a £2 play.

[x] Oh poor David Tennant. :( Back surgery isn't fun at any time of the year.

I'm feeling a little bit better today. Which is a good thing, although I'm coughing up stuff which is somewhat unpleasant.

In other news I've been playing a lot of LittleBIGPlanet. I'm stupidly stuck on Lost Sensei's Castle so I've been busy getting 100% on the earlier levels. It's very hard to try and play as two characters on two controllers at the same time.

And I watched Shoot 'Em Up
( spoilers )

In other news, I'm still after people to send Christmas cases to. The link is in my sidebar. And also link of to your wishlists.

I've just spent half the day building my first LittleBigPlanet level. This game is an absolute time suck!

Especially when you've got as poor hand-eye-controller as I have. Woes.

As you can see my little pod is looking reet stylin' now, although I have managed to staple some flowers to my head which is a bit annoying. And I keep getting squished by a Doc Marten (in the scary castle). Double Woes.

(Yes it did finally turn up, no thanks to Royal Mail.)

I've not played much of it yet so I can't really review it, but I am quite loving it and I have my Facebook friend Stephen Fry talking to me out of my tellybox, nothing can be better, I luff him!

If you've got a PS3 come be my LBP friend. My PSN ID is kalilj (I know, how imaginative)

His Lordship is going to make me a level all of my very own tomorrow. I expect it will be all spikes and deathly pools of smoke with lots of jumping cos I'm rubbish at it.

In non-gaming news, I went to see The Mighty Boosh live last night. Sadly there were only about five people all dressed up (2 Moons, a Hitcher, a cat(?) and some one in a red glittery catsuit like what Vince wears).

We saw it at the Civic (otherwise known as the venue with the shite sound) and it was no different to usual, you could barely hear Noel and Julian when they were standing in front of the curtains in between set changes. (And yes they did sing the Eels song). I thought it was very very silly, but also quite fun and I will make more of an effort to catch the actual series now.

An enjoyable 7/10.

His Lordship has discovered Ninja Cat comes closer while not moving. I've not heard him laugh so much in absolutely ages.

In other linky news:
Hey nonny nonny it's David Tennant in tights. I'm a bit sad that I couldn't afford to go to see this too. Ho hum.

Lee Pace interview. I luff him and his tall lankiness.

News on Dom Monaghan's new project. I miss him on my tellybox every week.

Take on Me was one of my favourite videos when I was a kid. My mum recorded it and I'd just watch it on repeat. Honestly. The four year old me was so in love with Morten. I cried when I thought he'd died. (My mum still gets the lulz from that little fact)

Some very clever person has re-recorded the video and given it a more literal slant...

LittleBigPlanet muttering

• I want Sephiroth for my LBP character. Although old!Snake is also quite awesome.


• Useful level building tutorials


• 7yo kid loves LBP


• Pirates of LittleBigPlanet (Why yes, I am going to make my little Sackboy a bit Jack like)
