So I’ve finally upgraded the final few parts of my PC I wanted to before installing the lastest offering by Microsoft.

Installation has to be the easiest one yet, huge thumbs up for that.

So far the experience is going well, it’s certainly faster than XP has been of late for me. Though I’ll find out if that’s still the case after I’ve got all the main programs I use installed.

Well I need to get more used to this OS. So that’s all for now.

The reason for the strange title?
I’ve started playing World of Warcraft again, and that is the latest character name I’ve picked, mainly because Supersly was unavailable on the server of choice. Saurfang.

This is a PvE server so I can level in peace this time, though I do still need to buy the latest expansion if I want to enjoy a lot of the new content. Just like my last character it’s another Undead Warrior, purely because I enjoyed the last one so much.

If you happen to play horde on Saurfang give me a whisper sometime.

So last friday night whilst walking home from a fun night out with some mates from work, I was jumped by a few people. Who then went on to beat me and take my phone and money.
Thankfully it was an old phone and not much in terms of cash (around £4), even more so i’ve come off not too badly, mostly just bruised and a bit sore.

That about covers that.

As the title says I’m still alive and making my once every so often blog post.

That is all

Within the last couple of weeks I’ve been to a couple of things that got me out of the house in the evening.

The first of which of the Film Wanted.

Now wanted in itself pretty much sells itself on it’s special effects in which members of a society of assassins bend bullets trajectory to enable them to manage to pull off spectacular kills on their targets. While the special effects are great the plot isn’t as much so. Though it does manage to pull off a small plot twist which changes the main characters perspective of the world he’s entered since joining the Fraternity.

Though that does bring me on to something else, the fact this assassins society is called the Fraternity just seems a little bit lack luster to me. At least the name Weavers for the individuals with the ability to bend bullets sounds well kinda cool. The weaver name also gets a bit of back story too, but Fraternity just sounds like they pulled the first name out of the air that sounded slightly more exclusive than club.

I’ve spent quite a bit of late.

Mostly due to play.com’s sale which I used to my gains rather well in my own opinion. That and me buying something from apple.

Here’s a quick brakedown of what I got.

Books:

DVDs:

And finally from apple

The 160gb version of the Ipod classic for all my musical needs.

Oh and I got a protective case for it too.

Last night (Monday 30th June) at the Swindon Oasis leisure center.

I was witness to the comedy stylings of Jimmy Carr. Now I have to say, I’ve had tickets to this since February of this year so,  it wouldn’t be an understatement to say this show was packed full to capacity.

Having watched him on such TV shows as 8 out of 10 cats and from what I’ve heard about his shows I knew I was going to be in for a treat.

I have to say I’m finding hard to sum up the show as with so many jokes used throughout, it’s a little hard to remember them when trying to do so. They do seem to pop into my head every so often, when something reminds me of one of them.

All in all though it was an amazing show that I thoroughly enjoyed as the only times I really stopped laughing was to gasp for air. Though one thing may stick in my mind for quite some time to come, from after the show had ended.

Of which is. At the end of the show Jimmy announced he would be doing some signings, so I made sure to get the program that I’d purchased at the start of the show signed. However whilst I was in the process of doing so, with the usual sort of meet and greet hand shake etc. He commented about the t-shirt I was wearing at the time, about how he thought it was quite funny, to which I was pleased as I bought it as I thought the same.

The T-shirt in question is this one:

Of which was purchased from www.threadless.com

That about wraps it up really.

Ok I’m gonna keep these short and simple for the short term dunno about long term just yet.

Add a page listing bands I’ve seen

Add gamer tag card - Done

And maybe change the theme at some point.  Other than that I guess the fact I’ve now added the gamer tag card should be a give away to the fact I own a Xbox 360 now. I just need to hook that up to the net then my card should update itself with all the info from what I’ve already done.

So I’m back again to try and update this yet again.

Though there is a reason why I remembered about the post below. That reason being I have a weekend tickeet for this years reading fesitval. Probably the best news I’ve had for a little while.

Oh and that will probably be the last back post from the old blog for some time, as all the other I was going to write seem to be on a piece of paper somewhere….
