Well, the moment after I posted my last post, I was sitting in from of the computer deliberating whether or not to play half life 2. I think it was a combination of boredom and.. well.. just boredom, that forced me to play it. When I think about it, it's taken me a fair amount of time to finish the game off. Well, other than the fact that it has only taken me 15 days to finish it, and I'm yet to finish the first game. I must have thoroughly enjoyed the second one much more than I do the first one. Don't get me wrong, they are both great games, but I think half life 2 wins out over each of them. I have some screenshots of my gameplay, though the screenshots are taken every once in a while, and I started to abuse the F5 button near the end of the game. But oh well, I think there are lot of good shots in there.

Well, you people suck at commenting. It might be the fact that I haven't posted any comment worthy posts for a while, but you learn to live with that. Anyway. I've only realised that my desire to have another webhost and domain is slowly disappearing. I've only just realised that I can't transfer any money over to paypal so I could buy stuff with my paypal account. Well, it might be the fact that I can really only "add" chequing accounts and credit cards. I have neither. I have an account that allows me to transfer money using a BSB number, but nothing else. Damnit. Well, I haven't really looked at buying things yet, but I'm quite sure the companies where I want to buy stuff don't have that kind of feature. It's either, credit card or paypal. Grr damnit. Hopefully I can use my account somehow to buy those things. I know I'm going to be able to buy computer parts though, so whoo!

All kinds of excitement happened on friday. First off, we had the "biggest" storm that night. Of course, I had no idea at first because I had my music up loud and I was playing a game in my room. Even though I'm only a metre away from my window and I didn't even have the curtains closed, I should have known it was raining. But I didn't. It wasn't until I felt the curtains whack me in the head, and hear the phone ring until I realised that it was hammering down with rain. Well, I'm not that oblivious to what was happening outside, I knew it was going to rain, but I had no idea whether or not it was going to hit then or later on. Well, it had hit. It also hit the main power for half of the NT. By the time the storm got really lightning-ny and thundery I was outside watching tv waiting for something bad to happen. Well as it would, the damn power went out, right when the simpsons were about to start. Stupid crackwhore. Well, the first thing I ran to was my room, and it was a case of, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Fuck." I wasn't too fased about my main computer turning off (it's just a pain in the ass to get up and running when I turn it back on), it was that my other machine had finally shut off for the first time in 118 days. So now I have to wait another 117 days until I can beat that record.

Well, instead of the power returning only a few minutes later, it decided to stay off for another THREE HOURS. WHAT THE FUCK? How dare the power go off and let there be no power. How unfair was that. Well, that gave me a reason to clean up the leads and shit under my desk (so now it's a neat looking mess of cables under there now!). Well, not only did the power go off in homes and such, I found out yesterday that the power went off in casuarina and their generators decided not to say hi. I knew how hectic kmart was when the power went out, but I can't imagine a whole shopping centre in complete darkness. No backup lights or security lights or anything. So needless to say I think there was a lot losts in many stores that day.

I've been sitting here waiting for about.. 2 hours (there abouts) waiting for my mouse to return. And so far, the bastard is still recharging. Also, my freshly made bed looks really comfy. Whoosh!
