Wow, this is my 555th post. That's fairly impressive. I did post a lot more in the old days, though. At some point over the past 6 years I grew up and had less time for internet stuff. :)

It's weird really, I always seem to have less time for internet stuff but I haven't blogged for three weeks and I can't think what I've done in all that time!

We finally painted the fireplace in the back bedroom, so now all we have to do is touch up the wall where it was damaged during the fireplace painting! Masking tape apparently removes paint from walls. Also I did get some 'granite' on the wall whilst painting. Painting is hard.

We've been playing a bit on the PS3, pretty good fun! Probably the game that's had the most play time is Motorstorm, though I've played Heavenly Sword a bit. And Rob was playing Drake's Fortune today, which he got for his birthday. We have lots of games, most of the decent ones you can get. Fun fun fun! And now it looks like Blu-ray may win the hi-def format war, so bonus points to the PS3. Woo!

I've been watching Fullmetal Alchemist on Anime Central and enjoying it. Unfortunately I've been taping (well, recording onto a hard drive, old habits die hard) lots and haven't watched many, I'm creating a backlog, aargh...

This month has been Rob's birthday and Holly the Hamster's. Apparently one human year is twenty five hamster years, so Rob is still slightly older than Holly. An interesting (!!) fact.

Even more interesting is this: hamster for president! Wow. I can't believe I just found that. Having vaguely heard about all the silly arguments and things going on with Mrs Clinton etc maybe a hamster really is the best choice. Though they wouldn't live long enough to serve a full term, would they?

I have also thought a bit about Heath Ledger, who I did admire as an actor, though I haven't seen many of his films. I thought he was amazing in The Brothers Grimm, and anyone who works with Terry Gilliam (especially more than once) has to be good. I wonder what will happen with this film now? I was looking forward to The Dark Knight, too, which will be a different experience now Heath Ledger's dead.

Anyway, I should probably go and sleep, getting late. I can't stay up as late as I used to!
