Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
Hi there. Forgot to post. Meh. So, what's happened?
I posted on Saturday.
Sunday, I wrote an e-mail to Teletext, and wrote code for tonbschl.
Monday, I got a phone call from tonbschl saying they didnt want the code any more. I played Vice City, and then made cheese biscuits. Tristan ate the cheese biscuits while drinking a bottle and a half of wine. We were going to watch a film, but he was pretty drunk, so I told him to go to bed...
