Canned Heat
Taking stock of my financial situation, I currently have just enough to buy a Xbox 360. The Wii is fine and all, but it doesn't have the games that I want to play. Of course, my financial situation is getting better, and if my schemes work out then I'll be in a much better position.
I've been looking through my clinical stuff for my course and the shitty thing is that next year I have three lots of clinical at 6 weeks each. The idea of 6 weeks of Mon-Fri working pisses me off, but I'm out for experience and I can only get some real experience by working at a clinical setting. Then there's the fact that I have to do an out-of-Sydney placement. Which isn't that bad until you realise that it's six weeks away from any Sydney metropolitan workplaces. I'm leaning towards either up to Newcastle or down to Wollongong and neither appeal to me much. Or I could delay the whole thing to third year, but it will still be pissy. I'm thinking of getting it over and done as soon as possible.
Just recently I've watched this three part doco about what life would be like 50 years into the future. They spin a story and revolve the possible changes and present day research into it. It is some interesting stuff. Like there is research on printing human organs. Seriously. This dude modified an inkjet printer and it can printed bacteria into layers. Potentially, you can print out human organs. That would be cool. It's called 2057 and was made by the Discovery Channel. If you can find it, it's some wild stuff and well worth your time.
In Nintendo DS news, I'm currently playing Madden NFL 08, an American football game, despite the fact that a mere 3 days ago I had no experience with American football and I still have limited knowledge about it. Really, it's more about the overall strategy and tactics that I'm not familiar with. Granted that's more to do with the fact that American football or gridiron as it's called is not that big in Australia. But I have the basics down, and I'm resorting to the age old technique to choosing tactics based on how cool their name sounds.
Monster Blitz vs Double Sting.
Post Out vs Hail Mary.
Corners vs Exchange.
Oh, the decisions. Back to the game.

2057 sounds really familiar. The content (Not the name ... but I've always been bad with names. Not to mention faces. People in general)
And i started skimming through Tales of MU. Seriously, considering how i think i know you Steven, i thought 'hey, sounds like violence, swordfights and shit'. I was kind of right about the violence.
It's not bad. Us girls have yaoi and you boys have this. Or related articles. Whatever. One similarity with yaoi: the (almost complete) absence of any straight characters. LOL
I don't think i can keep going though. Not that the story is bad because the characterisation is quite good. But, some of the stuff is a bit ... more than poor phu can handle. shut up, i'm still young thank you very much. despite all the dirty jokes and references to yaoi power, there's only so much i can handle. don't call me a prude, i'm just less mature.
On a completely unrelated matter. I forgot Doctor Who was on last Saturday, although to be completely honest, i think i'm losing interest. I miss Rose! This week's episode better kick ass.
if you have not played elite beat agents on ds you must.
the xbox 360.
no matter what price u buy it for - you will always feel ripped off. always.
