Had to go into the loft today to get the Christmas tree down, seeing as the big day is coming we should really get some decorations up! My family has never been desperate to get the "xmas spirit" rushed during late November like the rest of England. However as soon as Halloween ends all the stores switch to their Christmas decorations and price tags and the huge rush begins.
Last year I had all my shopping finished by September, this year I started in December! I'm useless. I have my mum to think of, my sister, my granddad and Kazz! Shit! I turn 21 on the 19th as well as my mum's birthday on the 23rd - so it's always really manic at this time of year.
So as I was saying, I went into the loft today - found an old friend. The 'Commodore Amiga 500 plus'! Lemmings and Captain Planet are found memories when I think about the younger years! The console was my brothers and he had hundreds of disc's for it! I vividly remember this paint program that would make this cool kaleidoscope style art! So awesome!
Apart from that not much has been going on apart from me looking for a job. I've been browsing around on the internets a lot. One thing I did was create an animé/manga list at Myanimelist.com! If you want a really organised place to check out how much animé you've seen, get recommendation's to other animé etc it's really fun!
Another good place to check out is Japanator.com which is part of the Destructoid Network. They have recently opened forums too so check them out.
Settlers DS has also taken up my evenings, I loved Settlers on the PC it was so fun! When it was released on the DS I really enjoy it! No idea why? Anyway I'm bored, what can I do!?

Part of me keeping my blog up to date will be posting random stuff I buy constantly. So here are this weeks the.GETS!
Gears Of War Bag I brought the other day for £14.99 at Gamestation. I went shopping with my friend Mike and I couldn't resist! They had some Nintendo one's but you know what.. I'm kind of fed up with the amount of Nintendo fan boys/girls there is and felt the need to get something different. Plus this reminds me of the countless 5am finishes and 2 hours sleep before work when I first got GoW.
Disgaea PSP is a present from my friend Kazz kind of like a early birthday present. I've never played Disgaea before so I thought I'd give it a try. So far its adorable, over-rated I feel but adorable non the less!
Happy Mania Vol. 9 though I can't read it yet because I am waiting for volume 8 to come in the mail. Happy Mania is hard to come by and I saw volumes 10 and 11 in the store the other day. Went onto Waterstones and got 8 & 9 and 9 game before 8 (ironically). I'm a huge Moyoco Anno fan and read Hataraki Man in Japanese when I was living over there.
Tomb Raider: Lara Croft Figure which I'm really disappointed with. I ordered from playasia.com where the picture is a lot different to the real thing. I emailed them asking for a return which they denied on the excuse of "it's not our fault the image is a promotional image.". I don't see why they can't return it since it was un-opened and I was happy to go for a gift card to shop with them again. Bastards.
The Princess is a Cockteasing Bitch Destructoid T-shirt is the best thing ever! Sadly I ordered a medium instead of a small and it's swamping me. Oh well, in the dryer it goes! This shirt is adorable and I really recommend you get yourself one.
That concludes this weeks the.GETS. What else has been going on? I've gotten back into Settlers DS! Oh man, it's so silly but I love it.
