Star Wars Megathon

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Had the Star Wars megathon last night (all 7 movies – inc Clone Wars – in one sitting). It went very well, and we had lots of friends around to watch it with us. We started at around 11:00/11:30 and finished at 3:00 am. It was good to see all the movies again, since it has been a while since I last watched them, and has rekindled my interest in reading my Star Wars books. Thanks to all of our friends who could make the evening. We had a great time and hope you guys enjoyed yourself too.

Stuart managed to survive most of the movies (from Episode 2 to the end) :-)

Andy and Vicky managed to be the first here (and the only people to join us for Episode 1 :-D ). I think we may have even won Vicky over to enjoying Star Wars, as this was her first viewing of it.

Johnathan even made a brief appearance during The Empire Strikes Back, although unfortunately could only make about half of the movie.

Andy also managed to join us for The Empire Strikes Back and stayed with us a little longer afterwards to watch the Robot Chicken Star Wars special. He also stayed around to join us (by this time: Andy, Sar, Stuart and I) for fresh homemade doughnuts :-D

FFXIII

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Well, I finished final fantasy XIII earlier today, just have a lot of side quests to polish up now that the story is over. :-( plus all the grinding to get the trophies completed as well. It’s a bit of a shame really, I think I’ll miss the story line to be honest, it was good, fun and engaging and it was doing it’s job of keeping me in in the evenings in order to save money, however the extra side quests and trophy hunting should keep me busy for a while. Plus I have yet to start playing Uncharted 2 which came free with the new ps3 slim.

Got quite a bit of gardening work I would like to get done this weekend too (if the weather holds). Did the first lawn mow of the year today and weeded the herb garden. Want to relay the front garden border beside the driveway tomorrow amongst other things though :-)
