So I’m mid upgrade atm, hence all this crap everywhere. It should be back to normal within the next couple of hours. After that I’ll finally update my blog about America, lord knows its taking me long enough

No picture because this is just a brief update, I’ll probably add one later

Update #1: Right, as far as the design goes its all back to normal bar the footer at the bottom which I need to fiddle more with and redesign to fit right, its giving me a bit of jip atm. I’ll have a go later at fiddling with the subscribe page and the contacts one to tidy them up and rj them (They’re new updated versions to go with the updated site)

The plan after that is to trail through every blog post so far and change links, images and various other tidbits to reflect the new structure I’m planning behind the scenes

Update 2: Right I’ve spat the dummy, for the life of me I can’t fix the footer so I’m leaving it wonky until I can figure out how to get it to show properly

On the note of redoing all the posts I’m gonna re-plan the folders to reduce the amount of work I have to do, I forgot the top of the website is dependant on the pictures staying where they are at the minute -_-

So my mam’s car died yesterday, its little battery was all tired. So me and Simon set about fixing it, which meant pushing it onto the road and putting jump leads on. After struggling to get it over a little bump Simon took over the pushing part and let me steer it

Now me being me, I was proper toothy grinning it away and giggling like a school girl that I was in the drivers seat of a moving car. So I asked Simon if he’d show me the basics of driving, for like a headstart when I finally do get around to learning. So we went to an industrial estate and now I can successfully start a car, brake, turn change gear and check for oil as well as operating my stalks correctly

Theres 3 new pictures in the Shadow People Gallery and 1 in the MSN Pictures Gallery. On the note of shadow people as well I managed to find that sign that always makes me chuckle while on an adventure in Sherborne last time I was down there. Shes proper touching his arse like

Oh yeah, and I make shit hot steaks on Cooking Mama

Oh yeah, btw…

I’m heading to America on Saturday. Heading to Stansted tomorrow to get into a hotel for the night then setting sail in the air at around about 11 in the mornings so I’m led to believe

Frankly, the reason I haven’t mentioned anything is because I’m just not looking forward to it. A combination of working too much and the company on the holiday is just kinda sapping me At least I finally got packed. Which essentially means theres a suitcase on the bed with my clothes in and some cables poking out for the camcorder (Getting its first official outing after the lack of being able to report on BB)

So the trip involves going from Stansted to Philadelphia then onto Orlando. Thats all I know, like really. Perhaps also the other reason I can’t get excited over this trip. Nothings been planned other than a casino boat somewhere, I don’t know what I should be getting excited over

Truth is I’m more excited about playing these new DS games I bought specifically for the flight but have decided I will play tonight…

Cooking Mama. Another bizarre game. A combination of cooking and Warioware, you cook recipes by performing little mini games such as chopping, sauteing (sp?), folding and the actual cooking, which in later dishes resembles some sort of dancemat game: “Stir!…. Medium Heat!… Stir!… Blow!” the sort of thing I get hooked to really

The other game is a bit of nostalgia really, Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, another game with a gay one of them fellas ( : ) Its a good thing I’ve played the game before, else the inclusion of the tyrant on the game cover could only make the game seem a bit more gay than having to rely on them fellas ( : ) to make it seem like a new game. Anyhow its like the old game only it now also utilises the DS features in a seperate game mode

Resident Evil was an awesome game on the Playstation when I first discovered it. My dad rented it for me and my brother and I got to the first zombie FMV scene and scared myself and turned it off in fear. Didn’t play it again for days. Voice acting was terrible but the storytelling was great and it was an addictive story you wanted to find more about

The Gamecube variant made the game graphically amazing, though for some strange reason they decided to change a couple of sections and included some new zombie thing that was bulletproof and wouldn’t die as well as some strange casket suspended from the roof behind a painting that was never there in the original

I’ve yet to actually play this one yet so I will report back a bit more on it when I’ve played it, regardless its made me want to buy all the old Resi games on the gamecube so I’ve got something to play on my now derelict Wii

Oh yeah before I go I’ve created a new mini game on Saints Row to make me play it more again. It basically involves trying to get as many people in the back of my open top car ragdolling before driving into the sea. Provided me with hours of entertainment so far (y)

Oh and one more thing, retrojaffa will be going down for at least a day when I return from America. Theres a new WordPress been released so I’m going to upgrade, the only hassle being I’ve heavily customised it to look as it is now so its more than a simple cut and paste job

Figured I’d have myself some downtime and tidy up the entire folder structure and database at the same time while finally sorting out the spam filters so I don’t get spammed to death anymore (I anticipate over 1000 new emails when I get back from America) that and fixing the comment spam I’ve been getting recently
