We have purchased a laptop, something Mr C has been talking about and thinking about for way too long now. We looked at one, we walked around a bit, looked at some more, and then went back to the one we first thought of. But either way, I was pretty excited about the new and shininess of it. So, because he would be playing on his new toy for the rest of the weekend, I was granted permission to purchase some new games for the Playstation. First on the list: The Sims 2. Although I have been bored of the game on the computer, this would mean a complete new wave of interest, and what I’ve seen so far is pretty impressive. My one concern is that I created a Sim and was just testing the waters, and somehow, within about three hours of knowing each other, she had married another Sim called Ossie. Hmmm.

I was going to sit down and think of something intelligent to write, but when I arrived home after a stressful day, Mr C had purchased me the new Zoo Tycoon 2. That’s distracted me for the next century!

What a great day! The sun is out and it’s beautiful! I got up this morning and the first thing I did was fling all the windows open to let a non-existent breeze in. I didn’t get a lie-in today, I woke up early which was a bit annoying. It did mean that I was up in time to watch Ministry of Mayhem though - my new favourite kids show! Then I sat outside in the sunshine and read for ages, until it got too hot and I thought I was melting. I also got the shopping done today, and got past a particularly tricky bit in Prince of Persia.

Lots to say so I’ll just get on with it. I’ve been buying games by the truckload, even though I wasn’t really done with the ones I had before. Have now got The Simpsons Hit & Run (very funny), Pirates of The Caribbean game (a little hard to control but I’ve not given up yet!) and Zoo Tycoon Marine Mania, which is really fun and adds dolphins and jellyfish and sharks to my zoos. It’s hard to get anything done these days.

Friday was an okay day at work. Saturday, I read a lot of The Economist. Sunday, I discovered all the groovy games at the BBC, which I have much fun playing and more importantly, they work on the Mac. But I don’t want to go on about the BBC too much because they lost all my Celebdaq shares just because I forgot my password and needed a new one. Not fair, I was doing really well!
