Which is usually around a 4 hour drive from Leicester. We left at lunch time on Friday and didn't arrive there until seven thirty. Not fun. Okay, first of all, I admit that partly I went wrong.

For those who don't know (presumably you are the ones who've managed to keep off Facebook), Farmville is a flash game where players have a little farm on which they grow plants, put buildings etc. What exactly is the point to it? You have to keep going back to harvest the crops before they die. Your trees and animals need tending.

I'm blogging from my parent's house in America where Matt and I are staying at the moment, if I can find a camera lead I'll try popping some photos up too, but at the moment there's no one around to ask, so I'll just do a text diary of what we've been up to.

Oops. So, there's lots of things I keep thinking about blogging about, but then they seem a bit trivial so long later to bother typing about them. The only one that I still have a desire to do is the list of best 80s films, this is after watching a programme at Christmas which supposedly listed the top 40 80s films and yet missed out Ghostbusters!

Helen is right, reading them has an odd feeling as you don't remember much of what's written about ever happening. Is this really my blog? Now I've read it I kind of remember it, but maybe the blog is implanting false memories.

Well, I don't remember them consulting me. Anyway, at least now I should have some archives available, but no descriptions, I'm not going through putting them all in again, so it'll just be pot luck if anyone (and by anyone, it's probably only me) wants to read any of them.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-28258464365653250342008-05-10T01:15:00.003+01:002008-05-10T01:18:33.148+01:00Helen told me my blog was sad and dying. So I figured I'd think about posting, came to have a look and now I'm depressed because for some reason the archive isn't working anymore.

But then the snow came two days ago, yay. We got about 2 inches and it's still here today so I have a white birthday, which is nice. What have we been up to in the last couple of days then?

I got some photos through the window, but they didn't look very clear and the windows don't open, or at least not easily, so that was a bit of a shame.

You may even have been keeping track of my gaming hours to check that I was still alive and then suddenly they stopped too!

It was a bit of a worrying time recently after Richard Hammond's accident. I felt like a friend was injured, he seems like a friend, who couldn't love the Hamster?

My brain is currently incapable of doing very much because I spent 35 hours playing warcraft over the weekend. I'm not even sure I enjoyed much of it. It was just that I had finished the Summer Club and felt able to not worry about "doing" things, able to just relax and play and switch my brain off.

The only comment I have is that I was disappointed with Superman Returns and enjoyed Pirates, this view seems to put me in the minority. I am not saying Superman was necessarily bad, it just disappointed me that it seemed to be basically a rehash of the very first film.

Rex and I just got back from our first agility lesson. It was quite fun, we didn't do too badly either, though I'm not sure how he'd have been if he'd gone off lead.

Admittedly it could have been 8 different people, but that seems somehow unlikely, I can't really see what they would have wanted, I mean the top result on google for chrismoyles.net is unsuprisingly Chrismoyles.net so you wouldn't have to Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-1115297698079142612005-05-05T13:31:00.000+01:002005-05-05T13:54:58.226+01:00Well, I exercised my democratic right this morning and cast my vote. I was slightly concerned about how easy it was considering my polling card had not arrived for whatever reason (lost in post? Stolen?).

How could I forget such an important festival? I'm shocked at myself, I'm hoping you didn't all forget too. I know Mark didn't as he sent me an Onion day text which I received last night, but didn't have time to do anything about, so my Onion Day celebrations were a little muted.

I'm not dead
I'm busy. Nothing exciting sadly, just lots of work. Though work gets money, which is good as money can be exchanged for goods and services. Currently services seem to mostly be coming in the form of fixing my car every so often :-( But it seems to be working now, it should it came out of the garage again today for the second time in 8 days.

I trust you've all been enjoying my daily posts, updating you on all that is new and exciting in my life.
Just in case for some reason you haven't seen any posts since say, the beginning of the month I will just do a little recapping of the new things in my life. there aren't many, in fact the only new thing really is that I now haveAlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-1104706772998622282005-01-02T22:30:00.000Z2005-01-02T22:59:32.996ZWell, I'm visiting my parents, so I am without EverQuest, therefore I thought I might as well blog :-) actually it's not really EverQuest that's prevented me from blogging. It's more a lack of anything interesting to say and not being able to motivate myself to blog.
Ok,so semi-interesting things in the world of Ali to share with you all. Hmmmmmm It should really be interesting for the first Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-1103205496158810082004-12-16T13:55:00.000Z2004-12-16T13:58:30.523ZOk, so I'm posting when I only have 4 minutes of my lunchbreak left. Not really posting for any reason, just realised it's been over a month since my last post, which is terrible. So, what have I been up to? Well, not a lot really. Had my birthday, so I'm older now, we went to the beach, because what sillier thing to do than go to the beach in the middle of winter? It was quite nice actually, Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-1099779017593921272004-11-06T22:00:00.000Z2004-11-06T22:11:51.170ZWell, I am sitting here drinking hot chocolate and not novelling. I have written some of my novel today, but I fear I am falling behind my targets. I'm not doing too badly wordcount wise, only about a thousand less than I had hoped by this point, but I'm really not happy with the story, which makes it harder to think of things to write. I have a feeling that maybe I just don't have that much Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-1099434365079755772004-11-02T22:21:00.000Z2004-11-02T22:26:05.080ZWow, today I did the recommended number of steps! 10366. I was on my feet at work all day (it's my day off, but I'd been asked to work at a different library because someone was ill) and then I had to go out to a retirement do, and there we go, I did over 10000 steps. i do a lot of walking at work really, it's just that since I don't work full time I don't normally rack up that much walking.

However, I have embarked on the novel writing challenge. My work in progress is here: Mind The Gap so it'd be great if you, my loyal readers could have a look and send comments etc. Be warned, it's not a ridiculous comedy novel, I'm actually trying a serious story!

Or at least that's the plan. I am having negative thoughts already about whether I'll actually finish, my problem is I have a tendency to hate bits and go and rewrite them and spend so long that I never get very far. I guess by blogging it I won't be able to do that, I'll have to force myself to blog each day.

There are still bits that don't make sense, but I think they are acceptable for casual writing.

I was just looking at some old posts. In particular I was looking for the post from June 30th. Well, I didn't know what day I was looking for. I just knew I was looking for the one where I talked about lazy speech and told people to hit me if I start saying twenteh etc.

Other stuff then. Well, I was at another wedding on Saturday, I was filming it, so I went by the day before to get the lay of the land and see where I could film from.

Admittedly I thought this ages ago and even did some screen caps, then didn't bother, but you know, better late than never. I was going to do them out of date, but I've just gone and updated them for you instead.

Helen and Rob got married, which I already mentioned.
James came to visit, proving he does actually exist, well unless it was a very elaborate hoax.
I no longer have a housemate (the new Helen who was going to move in isn't now).
I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of it now, meaning that actually there wasn't that much Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-1095112695411579552004-09-13T22:47:00.000+01:002004-09-13T23:30:12.923+01:00Okay, there's a lot to blog about, but it's late, so I'll just talk about the big thing, briefly: Helen and Rob's Wedding was officially the best wedding ever! Even people who really hadn't thought the idea of a pirate reception would work, had a great time and were glad they came. It was just so much fun and less scary than a normal boring wedding. It took away the formality and made it more Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11265997482625357994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996521.post-1092926389082925802004-08-19T15:36:00.000+01:002004-08-19T15:39:49.086+01:00Wow, City of Heroes is fun. I've been having a go on Helen's account. Made a superhero called Mr Tea. You have to come up with a backstory, I decided that there was a terrible accident at the PG Tips factory and a disgruntled chimp pushed Kevin Pratt into a vat of tea.

See this BBC News article. So the question of the moment is, did the computer game cause him to kill? Was he in fact a perfectly normal person who was warped and twisted by a computer game? Do violent computer games cause violence?
