Pumpkins down, Rockets a go-go
Halloween was ace! May make a vlog later about it.
Saturday consisted of night out with flatmates and other pals, just went to one of our favourite bars and some of us got a bit shit-faced. I had the most vile beer ever, Modelo? I think. I asked for a Corona but the dude at the bar said they didn't do it and said this was made by the same company. It was not good at all, was nearly sick on the last dribbles of the piss-water.
Regardless! I was too poor for a costume so dived into my wardrobe and attempted to make myself into a werewolf using white foundation, bit of back combing and a faux fur gillet.
Most people thought I was supposed to be a bear :/. Ah it's a costume haha.
My mate Jess, seen in this pic, went as a funky pumpkin.
Was all round good fun and had a lovely kebab on the walk home hahaa.
Then Sunday we stayed in for pizza, candy and scary films. 'Paranormal Activity' first because it's epic and still scares the shit out of me, I need to see the sequel and God damn soon. Then 'Event Horizon' which if you don't know is a Sci-fi Horror from the 90s (I think), I've never seen it but was really good (another one for the DVD list I think) and Sam Neil was brilliantly insane in it.
I will say this though, and I know I used to get mad about people thinking I was a guy or a lesbian and with what about to say I then wonder why.
It once again supports my theory that, depending on the decade in which the film was made, breasts were different. Ok ok ok let me explain, just hold on a minute. If you watch films today boobs are usually very bulbous and round; usually quite fake looking, then if you say go and compare it to an 80s film, lets say the suicide bit from Monty Python 'The Meaning of Life', and those boobs are all strangle pointy and cone-like. What I will stand by though is that 90s breasts in films were just not good (haha this is getting so weird), we'll take 'Event Horizon' as the example here, they're really...floppy, like they're not even big and there's NO support, FLAT and floppy, and her nipples looked like someone had glued marshmellows to her chest.
.....ok you're judging me now. I'm not a lesbian honest......I just notice these things.
We also played a bit of that lovely game 'Deadspace' which was probably the scariest thing we did all night! It did remind me about the animated movie though, debating whether to buy it.
Downloaded the new Xbox layout the other day and honestly I think it's shite. I get why they've done it, they're catering to Kinnect uses; making it easier to use for motion capture. But that's just the problem. I don't know why Xbox and PS3 are jumping on this bandwagon anyway, there's a reason the Wii hasn't done well, cos the motion capturing is clumsy and thankfully people have enough sense to think, 'If I want physical activity, I'll go outside'. To be fair families and everyday people do play the Wii but few play it enough to actually consider buying one. So not that many have been purchased over the years for that reason, cos people go 'Aaah it's fun yeah but would be really play it that much?'
It probably IS better that the motion capture stuff is intergrated into an actual decent console rather than have it's own but I don't think it should be as catered for as much as it is. The new Xbox menu? Fair enough good for Kinnects but then for the love of God just make it activate only when a motion tracker is plugged in! Why the Hell should I, as a controller-loving gamer, put up with this shitty, boring and downright ugly layout just cos some overweight women and flocks of 5-year-olds want to play virtual bowling rather than go to a BLOODY BOWLING ALLEY! They do exsist you know! And you'll find a couple of games a damn sight cheaper than this unrefined technology.
Finally, and you can call me sad, but the new Mystery Case Files is gonna be sweeeeeet! I love these games too much, especially from 'Madame Fate' onwards. They are keeping hints very vague and few but I'm just pysched. Hoping it makes it out sometime next month, can't wait til Xmas for God's sake.
As a little P.S. actually. Anyone got any good tips on keeping budgies clean? My bf recently got a pair of girls, they're absolutely adorable, but just will not take a bath and they're getting pretty grubby looking :/. We debated taking them to the vet cos at first we thought they were sick but other than them looking a little dirty they're fine (their feathers aren't seperated or dishevelled, nor are they bad to touch; they feel just as soft), their feathers are all just a bit dusty really. We use misting quite a bit but it's not really the same. I've now put not one, not two, but three areas to bath in their cage and yet they still don't seem to want to have a dunk, even though the breeder said they loved it. I even put a bowl of wet lettece in for them to rub-a-dub-dub in (apparently budgies love that) but still nothing.
I read that they have to feel really safe before bathing but we always let them have their peace and quiet when they want it so it's not like they feel threatened or anything. They're not tame enough yet to take into the bathroom and let them roam in the sink so how on Earth do you encourage them to bath?
And as a P.S.S.
Keep your pets happy and safe this Guy Fawkes night :).
