The Importance of Being Idle

Take Me Down To Paradise City

Ended up getting up far earlier than was good for me this morning, largely because I wanted to get some breakfast for Shaz before she went to work this morning. Yes, work this morning! Here's the digest version; her boss is an idiot, they've got a new area manager who isn't, trying to get things back to standard. Sadly for all the work she did it doesn't appear she's going to get any recognition, only blame for things that weren't her fault to begin with. Also my plan to make breakfast was scuppered by the bagels having gone off. Good effort though, I felt.
The afternoon was largely spent messing about, getting some groceries and then playing Devil May Cry. Having come into the series at the third iteration I was surprised to go back to the first one and discover that it was basically built on a Resident Evil engine and then given a little combat action. Dante is still a cool motherfucker though.
I think this weekend also marks the first time I've actually seriously wanted a next gen console (so a PS3 or 360) and it's almost entirely down to the release of Burnout Paradise. Long term fans will remember near endless blogging about the various incarnations of the Burnout series over the years, and it is almost physically painful not to be able to partake of this one. I suppose that I could theoretically afford a new console in the next couple of weeks, given the amount of hours I put in, but I have to question whether it would be a Good Idea. On the other hand, I do lots of things that aren't necessarily Good Ideas just because I want to, damn it!
I guess the weekend is drawing to a close now, what there was of it, and it's time to get ready for another exciting week of driving! At least there's new Supernatural on TV tonight!
