Repainted my sons bedroom in dark blue all day Saturday and fell asleep at 10pm on Saturday night.....

Also had a lovely sing song on Lips for the 360

Thats pretty much the weekend sorted.....

Back to work tomorrow and the kids and wife are on holiday for a week...

i might take a day off too.....

I knew it would be a different day today and I was right....

11.30 the snow started and it still hasnt stopped.

Finished work early and went sledging with my daughter......Great fun !

I have been to work today and listened to managers still talking rubbish and colleagues talking the same old nonsense over and over again.....I went to work on the bus as normal and had my normal dinner of 2 sandwiches....

Bought Chuck & Larry on HD DVD for £2.99 today.

Read a bit more of Bear Grylls ascent of everest on the bus home.

Came home played Far Cry 2 for a short while (good game with intelligent baddies) then had a short blast on Mario kart on the DS (one of the better versions) had tea watched crappy telly surfed the net for a bit

A pretty normal dull day.

Tomorrow will be better.

I also have an Amiga A1200 with HD and a lovely little pcmcia compact flash adaptor

How could I forget one of the finest gaming machines ever?

Simple I have too much stuff.

Surely the most used keys on my keyboard.....a lovely Z board with a fantastic First Person shooter keyboard replacement....I love this keyboard...and I love FPS games.......

My Kit List

OK so I have a lot of kit to play with so I thought I would do a list.

I dont have a great deal of cash but any spare hobby cash I have normally gets spent of wires, adaptors, games, dvds, hd dvds and things that link all my kit together.

Consoles and Gaming items 1st

• Spectrum 48k - Rubber beermat computer that I load games onto using my 80gb Ipod Classic
• NES & 8 games
• 2 x SNES & 10 games
• 4 N64s and about 60 games
• Sega Dreamcast with vga box - linked to a 17" monitor
• Turbografx 16 with 3 games
• 2 x Xbox (1 chipped with media center & 1 `normal`)
• Gameboy SP
• Gameboy Micro with EZ Flash cart
• DS Lite with R4 cart
• Sony PSP
• 2 x Playstation & 1 Sony PS One
  
• Atari Jaguar & 5 games
• Sega Megadrive with NO GAMES !!!
• Xbox 360 Arcade with 20gb HD
• Sony Playstation 2
• Nintendo Wii
• PC with a canny bit of storage and runs most new games mid spec....it also has a shed load of emulators. Fallout 3 is the most played game on the PC at the moment.

(there is also a PS3 and another 360 in my sons room and my daughter has a pink PS2 and a Huge DS and just got a lovely new laptop for xmas...my wife also has her own laptop to look at blouses and things on Ebay)

I think that is it...I have sold a lot of bits & bobs lately as I never had time to play them all and to be honest I may have to have another de-clutter soon as I have too many machines and I am running out of space....

The 360 is getting most use at the moment but when I have finished reading the Bear Grylls book, the PSP is going to be getting some use.

At the moment I am

1. Playing Battlefield Bad Company & Far Cry 2- 360
2. Reading Bear Grylls Everest book
3. Listening to Oasis on my Ipod
4. Tweaking my original xbox with xbox media centre
5. Getting my PSP up to date
   
6. archiving ALL my digital photos from the last 8 years (HARD WORK !)

This is Scorpio and he really is a bit crazy......




Easily the best (worst ?) baddie to feature in any film. His creepy singing on the school bus still sends shivers down my spine and Dirty Harry is one of my favourite films. The music, direction, story, acting and general gritty 70s theme still beats any modern film into the ground.

I will patter on a lot about films in this blog and probably return to the Dirty harry topic soon as I have the other 4 films to watch in a 5 disc box set that i picked up really cheap from my local `wednesday tat market` £8 for the lot !!!

Introduction

Hello there

This blog will basically be the contents of my head. It will be all the things I do, see, think about, listen to and probably quite a lot of things that annoy and please me.

From Video Games to Music to films to books to photos to anything else.

Keep visiting and please leave whatever comments you wish.

the blog is named scorpio48k as I was born in November, My favourite baddie in a film is Scorpio from Dirty Harry and I fell in love with a spectrum 48k computer when I was 12.
