Righteous Monkies

I have now upgraded San Andreas from 640x480x16 to 1600x1200x32 with full anti-aliasing, and it is pretty. I've been playing it a little bit and am now about 10 missions in, running around in a green hoodie, camo trousers and a leopard-skin cowboy hat.

I'm not a fan of playing until I am done and then saving - if I die or am arrested, I will reload my saved game and continue; as we all know, freedom comes at a price (God Bless America and all who sail under her, by the way), and I don't like losing ...

Pub!

Having not been to the pub in about 3 months, I have now been two nights in a row. The first evening was with Tristan and Mark, and I had three pints of beer and became intoxicated.

I would also like to just say that anyone who saw my previous diary entry and new design and who then did not comment is a meanie!

However, that is enough of that, for tonight I have a story to tell you. It is a story of joy and shame ...

Many Radiacs

"The State Department of Environmental Conservation must unequivocally deny Radiac's permit to continue operating a nuclear waste storage facility. Not in this neighborhood - not in this borough."

Yes, spurred on by a comment from Rob, the drummer from the Dutch band 'Radiac' reminding me that I am not the only person using my name, today I bring you a handful of classic quotes from the results of a Google search for my web name.

The above quote is from an article that appears to be about a nuclear waste facility in Brooklyn. It also states that "Radiac has not ...
