I R0x0rz U New Layout, to whatever extent you could class a colour change and a header a layout. Finished Mario&Luigi: Partners in time saturday evening, and it turned out alot easier than the first time I fought the final wave of bosses (which on the last of these bosses, i died against). In anycase, that completion sparked my interest in its predecessor, Mario&Luigi: Superstar Saga, as the header so clever-ly dictates. Mothers day didnt go so well, my mum's boyfriend screwed up the day my mum planned by not showing up, which made her extremely unhappy, luckily me and the mob pulled together and cheered her up a little with flowers, some teddy bear and a box of ferrero rocher chocolates. I would of been happy with just the chocolotes but DS wanted to get the whole shebang. Gonna go sign up to a job agency tomorrow, hopefully living in a new town will prove decisive in me finding a job, If i can hold it down long enough, an Xbox 360 + FFXI is in the bag. Probably my longest, worthwile, post in ages. Now after the long overuse of the [i] tag, Im off to make me something to eat.

Oh yeah, a new Zelda game for the DS was announced. It will have Cel Shaded graphics and have sailing once again. Obviously being Nintendo they've made puzzles and bits and bobs which will implement touch screen features into it. New Zelda DS

Fake Yorkshire Ripper gets 8 years Checked out some of todays stories on BBC.co.uk to find that the guy who faked being the Yorkshire ripper in the 1970's has been jailed for 8 years. Although its almost certain he'll serve less than that on good behaviour. If the nob hadnt of done so, maybe the real killer could of been stopped sooner, but with his hoax, the ripper continued to kill in Yorkshire while the police focused their efforts in Sunderland where the tapes were coming from. Commercial space flights by 2008? according to Virgin Galactic its possible. In fact am airstrip is being built in New Mexico by this new branch from Virgin which will be used solely for flights into space. Although im a little skeptical. Even with NASA's developments in space exploration, theres still been problems, even in this century. If they're having problems, what hope do we have? Well Space Adventures have already sent 3 people into outer space before using russian space technology, and they're planning to extend the '1 week in orbit', which the first paying customers received, to a trip to the other side of the moon. Well, if all goes well from all this competition into space, we could be looking at space tourism by 2010. But dont hold your breath. Google in trouble? It seems Google.com have got themselves in a spot of bother with the US goverment. They were ordered to hand over search data, including 50,000 web addresses to the US goverment by a federal judge. But peoples search addresses were withheld due to it being a breach of privacy. US police cock-up Two months ago a Virginia Doctor was killed by a Special Weapons and Tactics force. He had been under investigation for 3 months over illegal gambling and in line with a local police policy on "organised crime" raids, the heavily armed team was there to serve a search warrant. As he exited his house an officers handgun accidentely went off, which hit doctor Salvatore Culosi Jr through the chest, killing him. The investigation into his death continues. On a more personal note I've been working on FFnet.com for a friend. He's been busy with other stuff, so Ive just been updating the PHP files, making sure the script is the same throughout the site (although to tell the truth I havent completed it yet) so that it doesnt look too out of place.

Happy Valentine. Yeah Right. Is it just me or does Valentines' seem to come around too often? I know its just once a year just like any other 'holiday' but this one seems to be around more, maybe 'cos it gets a big deal made about it all the time, more so than Xmas. "Well I dont think Ive ever had a "Happy" Valentine so i couldnt care less" Says the Grinch. That being me.

My poor cat, we left a frozen chicken out over night to defrost so we could cook and eat it today for sunday dinner, but the cats caught sight of it and ripped the plastic cover off and has been knawing at it, my mum found her and booted her out. But it involved more screaming, kicking and cursing. Well I decided to cancel Beath of Fire 3 and opted to preorder Mario & Luigi Partners in time for the DS, either way i woulda been buying a good game but i thought i could probably wait a while to play BoF xD only 15 days til we move, we've been looking at furniture and beds etc and will probably be buying them over the next week, we went over there yesterday to measure the rooms, i know mines 89x106 inches which is cool, i dont like having big rooms, they always look so empty Oo as well as that we met who will be our net neighbour, we seems nice, telling us a bit about the area and that, the road we're moving onto used to be a main road but luckily it isnt anymore, that woulda sucked >.< Oh well, enough of the ramblings, gonna go watch tv tata
