My sister is usually pretty good when it comes to buying me gifts, but like the rest of my family and friends, few of them try to satisfy my nerdy tendencies, so it was a real surprise when she got me this late birthday gift...
An old 1975 Star Trek annual in almost perfect condition. As customary with these old annuals, it has been autographed by the previous owner. Sorry Ashley House, but I own your book now!
What's that? You want a sneak peak inside? Well sure!
Moving on...
My PS3 is off being repaired and so far Sony have failed to contact me (as promised) to say they've received it. I'll have to assume it has either been
a) Lost in transit
b) Stolen by the weird looking Australia Post dude
c) Sony did get it and haven't contacted me because they've been super busy
To fill the PS3 gaming gap, I went and got Borderlands for the 360 last week. I've been playing it a bit over the weekend and so far it has been quite impressive. The RPG elements have been the drawing card for me.
To wrap things up, I guess G013M is ticked off with me over something and took it out on me by tagging me with one of those annoying blog things. So here it goes, 5 things you probably didn't (or want to) know about me:
1) My Maths scores in school were very ordinary, yet I'm now a bank manager and studying physicist (By the way, I've lost your money and my calculations for this nuclear weapon will kill us all)
2) I was recently very happy to discover that my Blackberry will hold its charge longer than a day. All I had to do was turn off the twitter program. So sorry all, no more tweets from me. (You can stop cheering now)
3) I let my wife buy $10 boxes of blueberries for the damn guinea pig every few days. Soon she'll want to take the cats out fine dining.
4) I recently acquired an autographed copy of Ashley House's cIassic book from 1975. (if you don't know what I'm on about, it's your own fault for not reading my blog in full)
5) I have holidays in 4 weeks time but only have 4 days. I'm thinking a few nights at the casino with some dining and shopping.
That's all from me. Take it easy.
Comments
now that you have his/her name you can search them on the interwebz and say in your face when its worth millions
and don't worry your ps3 is in good hands now, just ignore the autograph on the side
You feed your guinea pigs blackberries? Wait, you can get a blackberry fro $10? Feed them half, sell the toher half on eBay. Should make a hefty profit.
Awesome gift.
