Winter Blues

Its been a really depressing week so far, mostly because of the huge stress that my workload is causing me, which has meant I've had no time to organise a proper video. The real problem is that I tend to end up spending more time miserable and worrying about the work I have to do than actually doing it! However due to the combined efforts of some friends, particularly Anne being very firm with me (thank you!) I have started to make a dent in it, and hopefully this will continue, although I am currently sitting here waisting time hence why I am writing my blog. Yes thats right I mostly write to give me something to do at work other than actually.... working. Hence the lack of posts when the website is blocked.

Present buying seems to be in full swing, although certain people are very difficult to buy for, including the work colleague I got for secret santa that I have no idea what to buy for because I don't know him at all. I shall have to resort to something incredibly dull this weekend I think.

The crazy shortages of not only Wii hardware but also software mean that it doesn't look like I'll get some of the Wii games I was hoping for this Christmas (most notibly the Wii Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga which can't be found for any even remotely sane price). But the new year should ease the Wii craze hopefully. Contrast the Wii situation with the legions of unwanted PS3s.

I suspect another drastic PS3 price reduction next year, hopefully to something approaching a resonable price, at which point I may get one as a Blueray player. Of course the format war is something that I could (and many others have) talk about for pages, but suffice to say here I think if either format does win it will be Blueray, but I suspect both formats will fail to become mainstream, this will probably leave us to suffer some downloadable format. Yuck.

Well thats enough for now. Tonight I need to go and pick up my lightsaber from Dagobah... I mean the post office, so that should be fun.

Into exile I must go.
