Wasters

Finally got over the sickness and that was it, a third of my trip was gone. So with the remanding time we had left, did we make the most out of it all to make up for lost time? Like hell. As per all our previous trips here we spent most days laying in till the late afternoon. And if we were lucky we made it out in the evening. Thou more often than not most evenings were wasted too. Well time still remains, so maybe there is still time to make amends.

Granted a good deal of all this procrastination is due to my rediscovery of an old addiction. Gaming! Got a Sexbox360 on my 1st day here and just recently bought a shed load of games for it. Basically stocking up in prep for my trip back to the desert. Problem is with my addiction I've already completed gears of war whilst I was ill and just yesterday I completed Call of duty 4 in a day. Such is my addiction. My only complaint on the xbox is the restrictive online system. As it will not let you redeem points if you are registered in a different zone from the zone in which the zone the points are redeemed from. If that makes sense. As such I basically wasted $60...

Thing is being here is the total opposite of the desert. There are so many things to see and do here it is a lil puzzling that we always end up sleeping in and doing noting. I guess its the whole taking what you got for granted. Well fingers crossed that with going to bed a lil earlier and rising a lil earlier we can still make the most of what remains.

My other half

Was so close to total health a few days back. So much so that I thought I'd go out for an evening. Nothing strenuous, just walking about and window shopping. But how was I to know that evening would have me feeling like shit. Think I ate something that caused me to have an allergic reaction. Thing is Nothing that night I had never eaten before, so I can only assume it had a reaction with my medication. But anyway the right side of my face swelled up . My eye felt sore and started tearing and then I started having nose bleeds. Right side only. I couldn't put any pressure on that side it hurt so much.

Either way I've spent the past 2 days doing nothing, just sleeping and spacing out. Been on a course of antibiotics too. Its clearing up but not taking any chances. Enough of this trip has been wasted so far. I want something left to enjoy. Wifey ain't too good either her fever has been on and off for the past few days too. Which was kinda her fault as she thought she was well enough 1 night that she had a few bits of her dad's curry. Fever almost instantly came back. Guess its a lesson to us both when it comes to illness, don't do things by halves, do it properly and get well sooner.

Better of here

Finally got out of the desert. Back home now for the festive season. Went a lil spend crazy the 1st day back when we attended a computer fair. Bought a xbox 360 with 4 games, an alu carry case and a stick on skin. And couple of days ago bought a Wii, only 1 game so far, sadly its in jap so will have to revisit the place n swap for an English version.

Been hooked on "Gears of War" for the past 3 days. Completed it tonight. Tried to drag it out to savor it. Would have only prob lasted me 24hrs if i had my way. Been a long time since I've had a good ol'frag-fest. And its inspired me to do some real life fragging. Every night when the wife n I walk our dog I usually find myself just along for a walk. Not doing much apart from chatting. So to make walkies a lil more interesting for me, I equip myself with a can of roach spray. So every walkies time is now roach frag-fest for me. Keeping a daily score. Scored 16 in total so far. Fragged 12 last night alone! YEAH!!!!! Bring it ON!!!!!!!!

On a down note. On my 2nd day here I got a sore throat. Which has now evolved into a cold and cough. Sux, never been ill all year and i get sick 2 days into my hols. All in all thou, still love it here whilst ill than there whilst healthy.
