7 - Breaking Bad.

Wow, have you been watching Breaking Bad? You know what I am not going to say another thing other than to say that Yes, I too watch Breaking Bad. If you are reading this and have not yet seen breaking bad... I would strongly advise you look at it. People have told me that they are waiting for the whole thing to be finished before they watch it so they can see it all at once, feel free to start now then. If you watch it all in 2 weeks you will just about get to have the whole story before the last episode in a few weeks!

Breaking Bad... wow! So good. 

But what Breaking Bad has eluded us to is Netflix. We always knew about Netflix and the one month free and all that, but I think it is when we found out that Breaking Bad was on Netflix only a few hours after being shown in America that we were convinced.

6 - Played League of Legends yesterday.

I forgot to say yesterday. I played League of Legends for the first time. I have to admit too that I liked it. Maybe more than I liked Heros of Newearth or DOTA (Defense of the Ancients).

More on this later on this very day...

5 - Sunday!

Want to see something cool... yesterday, I forgot to say, we visited Petworld (http://www.petworlddirect.ie/section/PetworldGalwayTerryland). We went there because they have mercats. They were cool! Seriously, if you are in town and have some time DO take the time out to visit it. Below are some images of meercats basically because these Suricata suricatta kick totally kick ass. 

What else, I had something else to say. Oh yeah last night we had our first game of Game Of Thrones: The Board Game. It was brilliant. The game would have been better if people naturally respected our natural true heir to the Iron Throne Wallace Jones (in-joke: you had to be there). 

Winter is coming... Game of Thrones

What I find most interesting about the board game of Game Of Thrones is that it makes you feel for your position in the game. I was at a point when I was closely aligned to the person who was winning, or at least the strongest player (Wallace) and I felt safe and secure believing that I would not be attacked by him and since he was obviously the strongest and most dangerous person the rest of the players were picking away at him and little old me was safe and secure in his shadow. I was of course planning my own game and I was going to strike at Wallace eventually but we will never know what would really have happened as the game never finished. It wound on too long and we wrapped up some time past half three in the morning after playing for around 5 hours! :)

There is a school of thought that would say that Wallace might have won. Of course we will never know... yep never know.

4 - Another day another dead fish!

Many of my blog entries will be like this. Rushed. Today for example.. well now for example, I have to leave in a few moments and help setting up before I play Game of Thrones The Board Game. I have a good night planned ahead.

We were in town today with the kids. We being myself and Linda. So all of us saw The Smurfs 2. It was really nice. The occasion that is... Smurfs was like... hmm, 5.5/10. But Lucy love it and Sophie liked it. So good to show the kids. The Smurfs 1 is on Netflix.

Did I tell you we have Netflix? It is brilliant. When I heard about Netflix first I was thinking 'what why would anyone subscribe to that?' But here I am all these years later. With tons of choice of viewing and about 7 devices in the house that can view Netflix it has become a good idea after all. The clincher for me being that they show Breaking Bad a few hours after USA.

Oh yeah... my second algae eater died :(

Anyone.. must rush! I have a city to sack and a land to fell!

3 - Dead Fish

Man, I got 2 fish for my birthday. Algae eaters. One of them have died already. I choose that he died a happy death. There was so much algae in the tank that we could have easily sustained a hundred algae eaters for a month (or few). So basically I think he eat himself to death.

What else... not much really. I am looking forward to reading the rules of the Game of Thrones board game. We might be able to do play a game tomorrow night.

I have to go... I was meant to be at an appointment at 7:30pm... its now nearly 9:30. Douh! Totally forgot so I am leaving my first playing of Crysis 2 to go there.

2 - Not a bad old day outside.

So I spent alot of time looking at the blog that belong to my friends. They are:-

• http://irishrainphotography.com/irishrain/
• http://thedeibelcrew.wordpress.com/about/
• http://imslightlyodd.wordpress.com/
• http://thisgalsjourney.wordpress.com/

They are all impressive in their own way and it makes me realize that I have a long way to go in my blog before it is up to their quality.

Meanwhile these are some blackberries that were outside out the house. We've made around 12 jars of jam out of these. Most delicious jam....

...ever

1 - I'm doing it again!

Is this the second or the third time that I am aiming to do a "page a day for a year" challenge? Actually, is it definitely at least the third time I am trying it. The problem is that for like, 80 - 90 percent of the time the page a day challenge is fine. It is no problem to sit down and take out 3 - 5 minutes to write something down. It is the remainder of that percentage that is the pain. When you have had an exhausting day. When the laptop is in the car and you are in bed. There were so many things that popped up all the time that prevented you from your daily entry that eventually it would snowball and you would crash. Miss a day here, and there. Try to catch up with them by writing yesterdays blog entry right before you write the current ones. Well we will see what happens. 

So anyway - today is my birthday! I am 37. I got loads of presents! Pictures from the kids, food, games and utilities. Seriously - its like I was a child again. 

So. This is it. Day 1 done and 364 to go.
