Hi all. It's been a while! Unfortunately I am very busy with my PhD at the moment, and while I check up on GS regularly, I don't generally have enough time to blog between sleeping, eating, working and the slim social life i have in between.

So, what is new? Well I have got GH: World Tour now, which is making for some fun (and hilarious) parties. I also picked up Fable 2, Okami, Fallout 3 and Call of Duty over the Christmas period, as well as Infinite Undiscovery and Bioshock second hand. I'm now not buying anymore games until I have completed some of my backlog - though I was very tempted by Skate 2. However, this oath will be broken when Resident Evil 2 arrives - which I will most definitely be purchasing.

In other areas, I have finally managed to obtain the Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Colleciton (after 5 years of fruitless attempts at getting the entire series), all of Cowboy Bebop, all of Noein, and all the Death Note DVDs currently available in the UK. All these series I am thoroughly enjoying. I've also managed to get upto volume 13 of the Trigun manga, so I've nearly finished the series, and will be looking for something else in this line too! I'm thinking the Welcome to the NHK manga as it is pretty short at 8 volumes to tide me over.

Finally I have succumbed to nerdyness once more as a friend of mine in the department where I work loves to play boardgames. Therefore, I have picked up Munchkin and Hunter: Deadly Prey, whilst I regularly go round to his to play the Battlestar Galactica boardgame with a bunch of friends. This has also led to me digging out Magic: the Gathering cards and being tempted into playing D&D again...

As i said, much nerdyness!

That's all for now - hopefully I will come up with something more poignant next time.
