So far, it looks like the leaking’s been fixed. Will keep an eye on it and see what happens. R800 later, but I guess these things are to be expected considering that Blue’s now 8 years old.

I guess it’s because there’s really nothing exciting to write about anyways. Plans for the wedding is continuing well, there’s still a bunch of things to do, but at least it’s all on the roll. Wedding invitations have been sent out to all, so we should be receiving confirmations all the way through the rest of this month.

Oh! My car’s fixed. At least it’s no longer overheating, although the whole exercise cost me R5000 which I didn’t really have to spare. If I did, I would’ve spent it on a PS3!

Gamewise, Gwyneth got me Super Mario Galaxy. It’s a really fun game, but oh so frustrating. I’m giving it a bit of a break at the moment, but will most likely return to it this weekend.

And that’s really all there is to say at the moment. Tomorrow night we’re going to Firkin to check out The Parlotones, and One Sock Thief. Should be a good gig!

Probably because not an awful lot really has been happening. My car’s still not fixed, I’m driving with my mother’s Uno at the moment. We haven’t had much drama with power these last few days, but I’m willing to bet that’s going to change soon, as the mines are starting up again.

The wedding’s now 88 days away. I better start getting my ducks in a row! The invites are nearly finished at least, they should be going out from next week. Most urgently now, is to organise a minister, and I should probably look at monkey suits. I’m thinking of hiring, as I can’t see myself wearing the suit more then once!

Been watching a lot of movies lately. That’s good. It’s about time I get back into that hobby! Gamewise, it’s still Mass Effect in first position, followed closely by Burnout Paradise and Metroid Prime 3 bringing up the rear.

Nothing really new music wise. The Cold War Kids is growing on me, and The Editors even more so. That’s about all…

My car. Destroyed. Well, probably not that bad. It was still overheating, so my dad was looking at it. We got a new radiator cap, as the other one was leaking and that could’ve been the cause of the overheating. This morning when my dad drove with the car, it just died on the way to work. It’s towed back home, but I’m not happy. I just spent R2000 to get it fixed, and now it’s worse! I don’t have this kind of money, I need to save for the wedding. I feel like crying a bit even…

We got hold of Burnout Paradise yesterday. I really like it, it’s a whole new experience compared to the other Burnout games. I now have a little too much games to play I think though.

99 Days till the wedding.

Friday afternoon I went to fetch my car. The mechanic had a good look at my car again, and he can’t find anything obviously funny with my car and the temperature. This morning I drove into work with her, and she was okay, although the temperature did rise a bit when standing at the traffic lights. I don’t know what it’ll do if I were to get stuck in traffic…

I went to see the doctor for the itching thingies I had, and he gave me some meds to help, seems to be sorted now.

Friday night we went for supper. Wanted to go to Cuppachinos, but there was a bit of drama there. The floor manager actually told us the waiting time’s going to be about one hour, as the boss guy was having panic attacks and had the kitchens in a tiff. I wonder how much business they lost due to this, quite shocking actually. So we went to our favourite steak house – Smokey Joes. Afterwards we went to Look&Listen and I bought Mass Effect for the 360.

Saturday morning I get informed by my mother that the pharmacy put my medical claim through my father’s instead of mine, as we share the same name. So I had to go get that sorted out, but fortunately it was a painless procedure. Thereafter I had my first haircut for the year, and I now look a bit more respectable!

Saturday evening we went to go see I Am Legend, not a bad movie, will write up a review on that a bit later.

Sunday we went to my friend Almero for lunch, and I borrowed Metroid Prime 3 from him for the Wii. I played a bit of that, and it’s a great example of how to do controls right for the Wii.

We watched Hard Candy last night, a bit of a disturbing movie, more on that later as well.

Through it all I managed to get about 6 hours of gametime in for Mass Effect. Great game, it’s going to take up a lot of my time…

And now it’s Monday. I really can’t get the hang of Mondays…

Rented Hard Candy for this weekend, it looks like a pretty decent thriller.

And my car’s ready for collection. Mobility!

I got my XBox gamercard information displaying on my blog now. It lists the last five games I’ve played, as well as my gamerscore. I found a source for more detailed information without having to register with Microsoft to get access to their API, so I might recode the inner workings of my plugin at some point. I’m just glad that I finally got it working!

I wonder… I should at some point write about music too. Last year was a good year for local music, and I have a new favourite local band – The Black Hotels. More on that at a later stage me thinks.

Watched a few movies this weekend, and managed to get videos streaming to the Xbox through Linux without using a Windows Virtual Machine. I found a paid solution that does video and audio through Linux which is exactly the same as from Windows, but I really don’t want to pay if I can avoid it. The free solution doesn’t work so well with my large music collection unfortunately. Perhaps in time.

Today things are getting back to normal, traffic is quickly picking up to the usual high volumes, and at work it’s business as usual. I guess all good things come to an end!
