I now just about have feeling back in the right hand side of my face, which is a relief. I don't enjoy the drilling or the poking of bits of metal in my mouth (who does) but I have an equal dislike of feeling numb after leaving the dentist's from the anaesthetic. He ended up doing both fillings this morning rather than postponing one until next week which was good of him (saved me £25 apart from anything else) and touch wood so far I'm not in any pain. Will come back to you on that mid afternoon however.

So now working my way slowly through my lunch, chewing everything on the left so as not to disturb the fillings, preparing for more resourcer interviews this afternoon, and trying to work out why Matt's sent me about 15 blank messages in the last 10 minutes...

On the happy-happy-yey-yey side of things, new phone has arrived and is waiting at home for me. That's my evening's entertainment sorted out right there.

Ahh Nintendo. You give with one hand, and slap me in the face with the other.

It's finally been confirmed that Phoenix Wright, probably my favourite gaming series ever, is coming to WiiWare in Japan. Instantly I have visions of the Wii installment of the series that I've been hoping for for ages, and get very very excited. Reading further down the article however, it turns out that they're just ports of the first 3 DS games, and no new cases. Off to sulk in a corner now...

So, I have a free weekend. Don't have to go anywhere, no plans, can just relax at home make a dent in the rather large amount of things I need to do but never have time for. I get so few of these weekends that I want to make the most of it.

So what am I doing? Dossing around on the net in my pyjamas. Typical...

Damn it, why are there so many games coming out in the next few weeks that I want? I have neither the money nor the time to play them all... Mrrrrr

Back form Ayacon. Con was epic, drive home was not - hour and a half stuck in traffic does not make for a happy Bat. But anyway, much fun was had, and more on it when I'm awake enough to type properly. Night night

I leave for Aya (via other places) in 13 hours. I haven't packed anything (though I have a list!). I now could either throw some things in a suitcase, go to sleep, or watch more PGSM. Bloody difficult choice that.

*boots up next episode*

Unusual one, pinched from thetruenoir 


The problem with LiveJournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.


No comments re my lack of posting. Nope. But thank you for the comments on my last post lovely ladies, feeling much better now thanks :)

It's a cross between Animal Crossing and Harry Potter.

I must own this game.

I'm so damn clumsy. Came bounding up the stairs earlier, tripped over my own feet, dropped my diary, smacked my hand into the banisters and swore very loudly. I walked back into the office to see everyone staring at me. What a muppet.

Bit of a dolly update: I was going to wait to buy a wig for my Rida when we went back to Bournemouth but then found one on LJ that I fell in love with. It's a JPop Reyia in most beautiful vivid red colour, and it's absolutely perfect, and so soft and fluffy! I put it on her but she still didn't look right - I was a little worried that I just wasn't going to be able to bond with her, until I realised the problem: she's still on her Type 3. It's actually got to the stage now that a stock body will put me off a doll, and I have to switch out to an Obitsu. I really hope my last-ditch attempt at my Ala's obitsu will work, or I'll definitely have to sell her.

Bit of a random update there, nothing really of substance to write except that I'm very full on fish and chips and Goosberry yoghurt, and I would very much like to sleep the afternoon away now, but sadly I can't. Thanks goodness for the weekend, I needs...

Bat now owns Taiko Drum. Bat very happy indeed :-D

OMG much snoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

That is all.

Happy New Year all! Hope you have a good time tonight, whatever you're up to. I am off to drink wine and have a night filled with silly with a couple of lovely people.

Proper update soon. Ha ha.

Will go over pressies etc later, but just wanted to put up a brief post here before I get on the wine again (have already decimated a glass of champagne today) to say Merry Christmas all, hope you're having a fab day. Have fun, laugh, eat, drink, be safe and be merry.

Much love to all xxx

Now, where's the good stuff hidden...

Do watch, it's hysterical!

Well, firstly thanks for the messages last weekend. I managed to get the computer into safe mode eventually and spent the next 6 hours transferring all my stuff from the main computer to my laptop via my 1 gig memory stick, and then from my laptop onto the network drive. That'll teach me. Bournemouth trip was brilliant, and the drive was easy after all my worrying. Sadly the shop was closed, but that just gives us an excuse to go another time.

So now we're just over a week off Christmas. Dad and Holly both came home yesterday and much of the evening was spent nattering - it's nice to have everybody (especially the parentals) getting on for a change. I've finally got my cards finished and have done nearly all my Christmas shopping, but I keep forgetting people, like Ben's parents, so have to go back and sort out something for them. Out tonight to buy decorations for the inter-office decorating competition (the guys next door have no idea that we're actually taking part in the competition, and think we're all being boring sods this year - hehe), then off to London on Wednesday for the Lion King - can't wait. Day off on Thursday (MUST wrap presents), Christmas do in the office on Friday, then we're nearly there. At least this week will pass quickly - work is going quite slowly at the moment cause that's just the way of this industry at this time of year. I know things will pick up again in the new year, but it's a bit frustrating right now.

Bloody hell but it's cold in here. Might bring my slippers in tomorrow...

Well, I'm not where I need to be, but I'm a lot better than I was an hour ago. Sod this for a game of soldiers, I'm going to bed. 
     

 

2726 / 50000 words. 5% done!

Edit: Hmmmm, new counter is failing spectacularly. Not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong...

Thank you writing motivation. 1 week ago when I was recovering from Expo and couldn't start because it wasn't November you were knocking at the inside of my cranium. Now I'm sat in front of the computer, ready to get the word count moving, and you've pissed off. Freaking brilliant.

Please come back? I have cookies...

And so it starts. Only 48,636 words to go!

With three hours to go before the challenge, I was finishing my plot outline, working on my characters, brushing up on writing techniques, and typing 70 words per minute on half a cup of coffee and a fun size Mars bar. I was ready.

So, the start of Nano is approximately 31 hours away. I have a bit of spare time having come home from work early after the dentist. I could be getting some notes together to plan my novel, I could be working on some characters. Instead, I'm finding Nano-themed icons for my LJ. Yep, that pretty much sums up the next 4 weeks...
