Jun. 27th, 2005 12:33 pmSo another weekend and me not posting much. Um...lets see. What did I do. On Saturday I did absolutely nothing, except play "Destroy All Humans" a lot. Very funny game even if I do appear to be stuck already.
Couldn't find any of my calculators with solar panels on, so on the
suggestion of darklittlefox and having a desire for lunch, I
wandered into town to see if Tescos sold a cheap one. They didn't so I
tried Woolworths instead who had a wide selection of them.
On a whim I decided to see if they had any small screwdrivers, cos I have plenty of large ones. I found a complete set of tools for 4quid so I got that. Then I spotted a solar powered racing car for 14quid, so I got that too. I don't know what spec the solar cell is, but it's meaty enough to power the motor without any extra gubbins.
Sunday I did Hatfield Mage. Due to a lot of faffing about, I managed to
arrive at the station in time to miss the train by a couple of minutes.
Which meant, as it being Sunday, a really long wait for the next train cos
they've spread them out a bit. Managed to arrive at the game only an hour
late and thankfully it seems everyone else was late too, so the game hadn't
started. The game was great fun, even if I have no idea what was going on
and cryx was very distracting in her skimpy/see-thru outfit.
Did SFA when I got back too and watched From Hell, which I managed to cope with quite well cos the gory corpses were so fake looking. Also watched BB too. I know I shouldn't and it's bad and wrong, but the latest twist - 3 people hiding in a secret room in the house and having to steal food and stuff to survive - is very amusing.
Brought the solar racer in to work today to see how it fares in sunlight
as the cloudy weather was a bit crap all weekend. Plus I get to prove
noseynick was wrong that a solar cell would have to be HUGE to
power a motor.
