Hope you all had a fantastic day with your loved ones I know I did! This is certainly a time we can all get a bit silly and there is no doubt this was one of those days with singing, dancing and me proposing to my cousins gf which he has been with for 4 years...(hey he isn't making a move anytime soon and she was upset lol!) We have decided to adopt two kids one Maori boy and one Japanese girl. My cousin was (understandably) annoyed but we told him he will live in the spare room, be godfather and teach them to be gamers so hes starting to come around to this crazy plan

Well let's just get down to the presents shall we

$100 gift card

2 ds games (bangai o spirits, dbz attack of the saiyans)

ponyo art book (freaking awesome)

Pretty epic xmas in all will edit with pics if I can get the site to work

Ahhh yes that little glimmer of hope they give you the 2 week vacation. It's not quite the summer vacation so you can't do as much as you'd like but you can't sit on your butt and do nothing so what to do what to do? Well I could study for my exams...get a job,,,yeah yeah I will be doing both those things but I will also be taking a stab at reviewing my games. Yes I've decided the only way I will play my games is if I set myself homework and set tasks to write about...yes incredibly sad I know I have 22 PS2 to finish they are my main priority and I obviously won't get them all finished maybe 2-3. I will be going in alphabetical order so the first cab off the ranks is Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana All the others will have to wait until December when I have 3 months of hehe. Looking back at some of my old reviews though I may have to delete them so I don't look bad. They were written when I was 15/16 and was well...a "noob" and make me look like a complete idiot and must be eradicated

I'm really looking forward to this though I looked at IGN's how to write a review (yes laugh all you like ) I think they had some good tips I'm only 1.5 hrs into At. Ir (I started tonight) but honestly that's the most time I've spent gaming in a while...even though I spent a lot of money on games So yeah this will be good!

Decided not to get the Wii so I had 7 wii games that would be useless to me so I could either sell them on ebay which would take a lot of effort and time which I don't have with uni so only option was to take them to EB For 7 games I got $150 in store credit which is low and I worked out that I spent about $250 buying them. It was stupid of me to buy them without having the console first. Lesson learnt. Reason I am not getting a wii is I have decided instead to get a the new PS3 slim model instead And I don't want all 3 im pretty sure that earns you an official mega nerd title Not that there is anything wrong with that *looks around at angry nerd mob ready to kill me* Hey look a shiny console! -Runs away just in time-

In other news Uni really sucks the big one I am just about ready to quit! The last two weekends I had to do 6 hours of non stop math tasks and this weekend I doubt will be much different Also I really wanted to see Ponyo tonight as I am a huge studio ghibli fan but my backwards town doesn't have it showing for some reason. I can't wait for mid semester holidays! just a few more weeks and I get a 2 week holiday I will be able to get my hair done, go shopping, hang with my old high school friends who I literally haven't seen in months (thank the lord for facebook as sad as that sounds ) oh and of course play games can't forget that .

What are you all up to for the weekend?
