Oh my god. He mentioned Shoe-gazing, Joy Division, The Smiths and Scarlett Johansson... This guy would be my best friend in the world if we ever met. Shoe-gazing! So impressed.

I missed the Palace game, as I overslept. Slept for much longer than I thought I was going to. The United game was good. Can't believe how much Nani has improved. He needed to get dropped and it's done him good. If you don't perform, you get dropped, so you have to make your chances count. He has, so well done to him for that. Great goal today. Also, Paul Scholes was brilliant. He's had a revival in this second half of the season. Some of his moments today were sublime, and probably is our most in-form central midfielder at the moment. On the other hand, Berbatov really struggled today. A few good moments, but some of his misses were unspeakable. I feel for him as I want him to do well, but I think he just needs this season to be over so he can have some time off to regain his thoughts, train hard and then come back fresh for the next season...if he is still here. I want him to be here next year. Another note: Fucking fantastic to see Owen Hargreaves come on at the end. Hope he gets to play some part of the last game. Can't wait to see him back next season. Also managed to watch the Liverpool/Chelsea game: How poor was Steven Gerrard, again? As a player, he underperformed today. But, as a captain, he never turned up and inspired his team. You could see the players were lost after the first goal, and he did nothing to help them. He's another player who I think can't wait for this season to end.

Hmm, the problem is that you've played it at the wrong time, I think. If you play it now (especially the real version on the 64) you'll think "funny framerate, some slightly blurred graphics, a bit of a daft story...some other things." At the time, it was a great step up from Goldeneye. You had a good singleplayer with challenges to do, such as the firing range, where you could unlock awesome weapons. The game had awesome cut-scenes, voice-acting, and a nice futuristic style to it. Some of the early levels were brilliant, although the story did trail off towards the end. The best part of the whole thing is the multiplayer. It absolutely obliterates Goldeneye in pretty much every way. Notably, you had up to 8 bots which you could play with, as well as 4 friends. The best fun I had was having team matches with the bots. Another great thing is that they took the Goldeneye control scheme and ramped it up, so you had secondary fire modes and you could even give instructions to the bots, such as telling them to guard the case (In capture the case, like capture the flag), telling them to target certain players (awesome if you're playing against friends, haha) and other things. At the time, it was a brilliant experience. It pushed what the N64 could do to the max. I remember just putting the game on and thinking fuuuuck, this is a huge step up graphically and audio-wise to most other games I had played on the console. Like I said, if you play it now, it'll seem a tad out-dated. The multiplayer still rocks in my opinion, but first person shooters have kept evolving, and you must remember that this game is two generations old.

Hahaha, Count Duckula is excellent. I have a few videotapes of it lying around in my room somewhere. May have to look for them now.

It's Attack of the Giga-Hand.

It's sexy. I'm listening to the Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden and some Righteous Brothers. Yes, you read that last one correctly. Fucking love them.

We can has pictures plz?

Grunch, you should be part of a Queen tribute band.

Last year for my graduation ball, my friend went shopping with me and suggested I wear a black shirt with a white tie. I was quite skeptical at the time, but it turned out to be good advice. Haven't had a chance to wear it again, though. It's just been a one-off so far.

To SPAMBOT LOVE JIM Thanks so much. Although, I now have twooo Spotify invites. I think the other is from my friend...although the username of the person who sent it is weird. Heh. Hurrah.

That song is actually brilliant! It's...one of the happiest songs I've heard in a while. That's the original I think Gaggle means. It's a great song.

This has a Micro Machines feel to it, which makes me very interested. I've got a soft spot for track editors/creators.

Going out on away goals is harsh, and it is a bit unfair with how it works in extra time. I think that in extra time, the game should be tied in every way. So, away goals don't count. Which means that the game last night would've went to penalties. Although, then you could argue that Liverpool had the crowd on their side, whereas Athletico only had a small portion of fans, so the ground "isn't neutral." I'm really pleased for Fulham, though. Great for them and their fans to see them doing so well. I hope they win it.

You look good in that first pic with the suit, Moogle. Hmm, if other people are wearing tuxs (are they?), then I guess it depends on whether or not you'll feel comfortable wearing it or not. For my graduation ball last year, I'm pretty sure the men wore suits rather than tuxs. But, it wasn't the expected thing for us to wear a tuxedo. It might be different for you. Actually, Grunch's description has confused me somewhat, as I thought a tuxedo was...some form of uber posh suit. Mine was a black suit from next. As long as you smart and sexy, then you'll be fine. So, my advice is: Be sexy.

Promise me to get you a pint or something if you go to the meet. Or bumsex. Either one. Did you know that first letter for each sentence on each line reminds me of this song:
