My beautiful baby girl passed away this morning. I feel completely lost and empty. She was my best friend and the worst thing is I wasn't there for her in her last moments. I don't think I've ever felt the loss of a pet like I'm feeling this one.

Lookie lookie!!!!! At my new toy!!!
( Off to fight the locust horde.... )

Woohoo!!! I passed my first two units of University!! I scored a High Distinction in Intro to Information to Technology with a 95 overall and a Distinction in Intro to Programming with a 74 overall which I am really really happy as I found that unit really challenging. Kind of makes me sad that I'm not doing any units this study period but I know that it was the right thing to do with what's coming. Big changes coming and I think I would have struggled to give 100% to my study at the moment. But I think I'd really like to go back at a later date and keep working towards a degree.

In other real life stuff I let my addiction to gaming get the better of me and I broke down and bought a PS3. I really shouldn't have but my sister bought inFAMOUS and I saw her playing it and i just couldn't resist. So in less than two days I went from not owning and not particularly wanting to own a PS3 to making a trip to Perth to spend $700 on one. That is so pathetic. Now I'm looking for games that I should pick up for it. I've picked up Metal Gear Solid 4, Sega Classics and Resident Evil 5 along with Infamous. I've also tried out Fallout 3 (makes me feel sick), Assassin's Creed, Killzone 2 and both Resistance games. I'm looking at getting Uncharted: Drake's Fortune since it's only $20 at EB's but I haven't really seen anything else that's really appealing so far.

Oh, got a new site in the works l4dcustoms.com - for pretty much any and all custom content for left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.

You know, I think I should have just stayed in bed today. That way I wouldn't have had to deal with all the crap news I've gotten. My cat, my baby girl, has apparently not got all that much longer to live and I don't know what I'll do without her. I've spent most of my adult life unemployed and at home so she's really become my cat and I think I'm going to be really lost without her.

And then, to improve the day some more I had a doctor's appointment where he started talking about skin cancer and what not. I was like no, just no. I do not spend any time out in the sun. I am a strictly inside person only. How can you have a risk of skin cancer if you're only outside for no more than an hour or two a week and even that is undercover or with a hat and shit.

So, excuse me, while I go be an ostrich and stick my head in the sand and pretend none of this is happening.

Edited @ 9.05pm: My baby girl has feline aids. Kinda devastated right now.

Oh, wtf @ those stupid fat guys that carry around those massive gatling guns. I've died about 10 times now and I've had enough of doing the same damn bit over and over again because I suck and the AI sucks too. Sheva, rather than trying to constantly stand where i am how about you turn around and shoot the damn bad guys that are shooting us. I just love watching her running in the same spot like she's on a damn treadmill. I'll never finish this game at this rate. Can't wait to run into Wesker and see him tear us apart becuase Sheva has rocks for brains. I swear I got a dodgy version of this game. Sheva has got progressively dumber as the game has gone on.

Edited @ 11.58pm: No Sheva I do not want you to go off and try to make best friends with the final boss. I want you to shoot it and how come I don't have commands for Sheva except for "Come on"?? All she does is either stand on top of the boss like they're best mates or follow me around like a lost sheep. How about you use that weapon I gave you and shoot something. I just spat it at mum who tried to talk to me while I was busy having a sad at the stupidity of my AI partner. I need somebody who wants to play RE5 with me. It sucks not having anybody to play with and I don't care what other people say about their AI experience. Mine is crap. Ashley from RE4 wasn't even this bad. At least you could tell her to wait.
