I have fantasies about polygamous marriage becoming legal and martin marrying a full harem of lady doctors to keep an eye on him. :/

So this was my day in a nutshell - I have had a nice day.

Regarding the villains plans -

Ouch. Mother-fucking ouch Platty, that's a world class shit-fest. It sounds like she was really crappy and cowardly about the whole thing too, going behind your back like that for that amount of time. Hope you recover and get back into the game soon. Problem is your one of the actually genuinely intelligent nice guys. Humanity isn't really going to survive long without you somewhere in the potential vicinity of the gene pool. Fertile women would instinctively just stop going outside.

I paid £15-something for it and I still felt like a robber, the hell is wrong with you?

Aw yeah, nobody taking any shit today!

I continue to be completely baffled by the apparent backlash against Far Cry 2 years after it's release.

Well, that was pretty much Lewis' year in a nutshell. Fantastic driving, mussed pitstops, iffy strategy followed by being booted out on the back of somebody else's foolhardiness. A thriller of a race to be sure but I'm going to be in pain for a while after tonight.

Heikki & Kamui are two of my favourite drivers, I'm gutted by the news today. Along with Schumi I think that's 3 of my top 5 leaving after this weekend. Anyway, I've realised everyone’s missing the real Championship Battle this weekend: If Lewis can finish at least 2nd and Kimi finishes no higher than 9th, Kimi will place 4th in the championship and therefore won’t have to attend the FIA end of season gala and won’t have to spend another weekend standing around people he dislikes instead of racing snowmobiles and drinking alcoholic soda floats.

I may buy this. I've still got an enormous backlog I want to get through but I MAY buy this.

Kimi's overtake was the highlight, I applauded that one too. I enjoyed Schumi putting up a game fight in spite of the Merc's shortcomings too. Just showed what he achieved in qualifying. I couldn't believe my ears when Massa came straight out over why they had changed his gearbox, team tactics are one thing but that's bordering on the farcical. At least Massa seems to be enjoying good race pace these days.

That was an awesome race, grand prix racing at it's finest. Great battle between Kimi & Button, good scraps up and down the field. Lewis was on biblical form to produce a titanic battle with Vettel. If only Mclaren hadn't tripped up over themselves so often this year, who knows what might have been.

Great Giantbomb quicklook, left a pretty good impression on me - a few technical jankies but looking like a tight, challenging horror title (in spite of it's terrible title)

Define "crazy" for me here. If you're trying to cover up different parts of yourself, it might be stopping you from giving up anything that anyone can relate to.

Speculation is EA & Nintendo had a bit of a falling-out after Nintendo decided not to use Origin for their online stuff after all and EA is basically going to be a bitch about it with tepid support - hence this bizzarity when a full trilogy is also being made available to 360 & PS3.

Pretty good quicklook with the Giantbomb boys. I really like that someone has finally made a kart game with a decent sense of speed in mind. Looks well put together but could've used a bit more animation and imagination with the item designs. Not a Mario Kart beater but a good choice for those with non-Nintendo systems only I reckon, especially at a budget price. I'll probably pick it up as a novelty sometime.

I just poured myself some Jack with ice and now I'm gonna watch Wall-E on a 34" screen. Aw yeah.

YEAAAAAAAAAAH!

If it starts to stick reduce heat or just take it off the heat - literally lift that sucker into the air, put on a cold hob for a few moments, avoid burning it to the pan. Learn to do it with everything pan related.

The better choice was elected, that's all I'll say. Also, there's this -

Good to hear it, I bet it's a huge relief to be able to talk with people you know are dealing with similar stuff. Anyway after three days chasing it up and with the help of someone at my regular doctor's clinic, they've pulled my referral back and I've got the forms in the post so hopefully that's that safely out of my hands for the time being. My week off came at almost the perfect time, got time to spend in relative sanctuary sleeping and eating and piecing a couple of bits back together. Honestly, having time to obtain a decent amount of food for a few days is making a lot of the difference. Surviving multiple late shifts on store snacks is not a way to live. I got on a set of scales, found I'd dropped a full stone in the past year and immediately ate a four-egg omelet with cheese out of principle.

I came back from a walk to discover a letter had arrived at some point, weirdly late in the day. It was paper work for the referral to psychiatric services I had asked for and had been waiting two months to receive - with a deadline for the end of September on it. The post mark was dated 16/9. Apparently some tool put the wrong street name on it ("Antler Road" does not exist anywhere in the city) and then some other tool at the post office took six weeks to look up the correct address using the house number and postcode (which were correct). So apparently the referral I had been waiting to hear back from for so long has been cancelled. I sat down and cried solidly for a bit and now I just feel like want to throw up everywhere. For months now I've felt like I needed something, anything, positive to happen for me without it being a struggle. I've always pushed on because that's what a person's got to do and I thought at least I'd soon have some help coming, but now that seems like it's going to be another pain in the backside. For the first time I feel like I'm just completely out of energy. I hate my job, I have no one to just hang out with, I've never had any kind of relationship and I have no personal achievements to hang my hat on. I feel lonely, tired, invisible and angry with myself and I don't know who or what to turn to. The way out I was already on has suddenly vanished. Hopefully tomorrow I can phone up and explain the situation or I'll just send the forms off anyway and hope they accept them or get a new referral or something but right now I just can't deal with anything. I'm going to eat some soup, take a long shower and watch a late night movie and hopefully my fight for life will be back somewhat. As much as anything I'm shocked by how badly this has taken me down tonight. I can't remember the last time I felt this bad. I'm not sure I ever have.

I really hope Kamui gets some sponsorship to keep his seat. He's still one of my favourites and he's still clearly got tons to give. I can't believe Japan doesn't have at least couple of names that'd like to paste themselves on the side of an F1 car for a few spare mil.

This is good. Finally the franchise will be allowed to slowly bleed to death with some facet of dignity. I just hope this means getting the original, unmolested cuts of the movie on DVD without having to buy an 19 disk boxset on top of it or something equally ridiculous. There's an argument, but I do think you'd have to go a long way to convince me or most that Empire Strikes Back wasn't a superb cut of fiction & cinema. Return Of The Jedi however is perfectly open to slander, and needs it.

What started as a small glass before an early bed has led me to reaching the bottom of a full bottle of South African red while watching a BBC4 documentary about coppicing at 0024 hours. Don't judge me, I work in retail.
