So what have I been doing lately? Well apart from the ominous work, I've pretty much just been sick. First it was the ear problem, then it was a sore throat problem, then it became a really bad sore throat problem and now it is a chest infection problem. Joyous no?

I must say astro is being a good sport about it all, she doesn't get any sleep because of my work antics and now that I am sick it is even worse for her. At least I got to have a nice day with her yesterday, it was nice and warm and we actually left the flat and did something fun (except for the 2 snakes in the grass, that was not cool).

Also my sisters (and mine I guess) cat 'kitty' is on his last legs it would appear, the poor tacker has a lung of heart problem and has been near death the last 2 weeks, he seems to rebound and then get even worse, my sister is taking him to a specialist on monday to see if they can fine out exactly what the problem is, I hope they can so she can hopefully treat kitty so he will live out his remaining days in comfort.

Poor poor kitty, he might be one cranky cat but he doesn't deserve to die in pain and so young!

I've been playing a new game! Yeah instead of constantly playing all the games I use to cain over the last 10 years on my laptop I decided to fire up the desktop and play a new one, it is call Company of Heroes and it is probably the most fun RTS i've played in campaign mode since Starcraft or C&C, the AI is really decent (ie. just doesn't give after a certain amount of time, I've played certain missions for HOURS because of this), it is pretty easy to get into and has a little more depth than you think, the only drawback I find is the constant micro management of all your battles, which is good a bad I guess, I think i'm just a little rusty and that is why I thought it was bad, now I don't mind it.
