New toys!

Psymonkee    General News    

Got a text message a few days ago (14th July) from O2 informing my upgrade was now eligible – a whole week earlier than I expected

Got on the phone at the next available opportunity and got myself an upgrade. Have been using a Sony Ericsson K800i but it started suffering numerous problems including the famous joystick failing. It also managed to have the lens cover for the camera open at will in my pocket (wasting battery) and I’m fairly certain that the battery is too small (fractionally) and the slightest movement turns the phone off.

Anyway chatted to the nice people at O2 and they are going to continue taking my money but at the same time they sent me a brand new Sony Ericsson W910i. Very slim slide phone weighing in at 84g – makes calls and does text messaging which is all that I need. The Walkman branding/music player is simply a bonus.

In other new stuff news I got an extra large box in the post from Tesco Direct Finally managed to track down a sensibly priced wireless guitar controller for the Xbox 360 so now I have two – time for a party! Hopefully pics of that funny event should be forthcoming.

OMG A New Post!

Yes thats right….I’m actually posting something new to my blog. Got lots to talk about but a heck of a lot I’d rather not post on the web

Anyhoo major things of interest happening today are:

I bought a PS3

Always wanted to get one but never really had the cash. A unique opportunity in my finances has allowed me to treat myself to a shiny new toy. However after this it’s back to scrimping and saving to pay off the credit card

And yes I realise I could have used the PS3 money to pay off the CC but hey it’s my choice :>

Had a weeks holiday recently but that was taken up with not doing anything after spending £150 on a new tyre :/ During that week I managed to get to the cinema and watched The Incredible Hulk! Absolutely fantastic film with a little comedy and a whole lotta violence. More importantly there was large amounts of seeing Hulk in full daylight – awesome epicness

Back to work and back to sleepless nights as I play games till the wee hours to try and relieve the monotony of running a checkout and saying the same things everyday to 200 different people.

In good news though all the gaming has paid off with me now having 5 stars on every song on Rock Band playing medium drums Working on hard drums now but thats kicking my ass something chronic. A Rock Band page will probably appear at some point to chart my progress though

Also I will get round to updating the theme and removing the generic banner pictures and replacing them with some pictures of my own.

More coming soon….
