I am now supposed to tag five other people, but since the five other people I would normally tag have all been tagged already, I shall not bother this time. Edited to add: Emily has just done it off her own bat. I forget about tagging my sister!

Now if you will excuse me, I'm going back to flake out on the sofa and feel ill. Although I shall have to do a little tidying as a man from Virgin will be here between 1-6 to fit a V+ Box. (and just to reassure my sister who worries about my money, I got mine for £30)

Two and a half...

...years ago today, my new computer got fixed up with broadband.

I can't believe that I've been with Anthony that long, the time has just flown by.

Happy Anniversary my darling darling man.

Here's to the day when "That was a real proposal but we can't get engaged cos you're still married" no longer applies.

Now, I am a geek...

...for World of Warcraft and I freely admit it. Recently I haven't been playing so much, knowing that as soon as WotLK comes out I will be straight back into it again. I've even been dabbling with Guild Wars - Emily's MMORPG of choice.

Then yesterday came a bright shiny new patch, the last one before WotLK comes out. I'm in love with the game all over again.

They've done the usual thing and tweaked all the talent trees so you have to re spend your points, but they've also done things like adding your mounts and pets to your character. This means that instead of buying a mount/pet and having it take up a space in your bags, it becomes a little icon in your mount/pet screen and then you just click there. More bag space is always good!

My favourite thing so far is the achievements addition. Now I like exploring the world I'm playing in so I tend to go wandering about areas where I don't have quests and don't really need to go - according to other players I'm "wasting valuable levelling time". For me the game has always been about the whole thing, I don't need to get my fishing skill up to 350, it won't make me level any quicker or get me l33t gear to show off to other people. I just like doing it.
The achievements thing means that I will be earning points for all the "silly time wasting crap" that I like to do. That's a very good thing. It also means that I'll be playing my level 70's more, trying to finish off the last bits I'm missing for achievements. (My general love of exploring means I've got lots of points for that already!)

So in conclusion, I am a geek. But a very happy one.

Ingredients...

...for a relaxing bath.

iPod (in iPod dock) - for listening to audio books and therefore not having to actually hold a book.
Lush bath ballistics - for lovely coloured & scented water.
£1.50 - as credit on the electricity meter (as that's how much it costs to fill the bath with hot water using the electric shower - the boiler isn't up to the job)
candles - for pleasant relaxing lighting.

Added ingredient - Foley.

Foley + inquisitiveness + candles = horrible smell of burning hair + Foley with singed patch on bottom.



(She is fine, just lost a little more of the dignity she didn't have in the first place!)

Awww...

...they all look so cute, and they all need haircuts!

Scruffy Bugger Results:

1. Alonso
2. Kubica
3. Raikkonen

I have to admit that Hamilton fighting to unlap himself before Alonso crossed the line was a nice touch, little boy trying to make it seem like he had a chance.

And now...I am going back to bed!

Our boy...

...Kimi has just stuck in yet another fastest lap.

If this one sticks (and I hope it will as everyone is now pitting) then Kimi will have himself another record.

I just love looking at the DHL Fastest Laps page.

That's always...

...nice to see.

Hamilton doing his drive through penalty, and Jarno Trulli leading the Grand Prix.

Ok, Massa got a drive through too which is a bit pants, but to be honest if you were going to give one to Hamilton for what he did at the start (causing Coulthard's accident among other things) then you have to give one to Massa - even if I just wanna hug the man for putting Hamilton dead last.

WeeHoo! Watching Hamilton being lapped by Trulli is rather fun too!
