The Importance of Being Idle

Things Are Looking Up!

Well, since my Independance Day things have taken a turn for the interesting. Some people are off the Christmas card list altogether, and things are getting very interesting with another person (and you know I don't talk about that sort of thing here, so don't ask). It's all very exciting and I'm experiencing a peculiar, light-headed sensation, which I believe is called 'happiness'. Also, my face does this weird thing that's like frowning, but its the opposite, and that's apparently called 'smiling' and it makes Jules VERY cross. It's fun, you should try it around your friends and family, see how they react! I've also started to feel actually positive about my life, and to do some things to get it moving, its really rather good. AND my house has been cleaned in ways I don't think it's ever seen before!
Hmmm, ooooooooo I know what I haven't talked about: my PSP. I don't even know if I mentioned this, but I (possibly unwisely) purchased one before Christmas as a nice treat for me (which was good, because nobody else got me a present) and I am, quite frankly, in love with it. I love my GBA as well, don't get me wrong, and as a gaming platform the GBA is amazing, home to so truly enjoyable games. The PSP however is a quantum leap ahead. Okay, right now its game selection isn't really that great (although there are some awesome games there, Ridge Racer & Lumines I'm looking at you) its all the OTHER stuff that makes it such a geeks gadget. Movies (on UMD or off the memory card), mp3 player, digital photo storage... and then there's the online things (which I haven't even had a chance to try out yet, although I'm gonna be getting hold of a wifi hotspot thingummy for it soon I think) - the PSP is a marvel. For some reason I sit here of an evening, TV on half-watching whatever junk is on and playing games, never once thinking to play on a PROPER console or my PC... I don't know if the PSP is REALLY all that good, I've certainly heard a lot of people (although frankly they have all been people who don't have one) slag it off, but once you get one I defy you to believe you can live without it! You realise that once I get it online I'll be doing blog entries from the PSP, sitting in my comfy chair, even though I could and by rights should be over here, typing faster... Still that day has yet to come. However, I do hear the siren call of that marvellous wide screen and Burnout Legends!
