Online Gaming @ MindSay 
I am definitely going to be trying out the free bingo that can be found on a number of websites. You can play for cash and some neat prizes. There is another site called www.InternetBingoBlog.com that talks about bingo culture. I didn't know bingo was that big, but that's pretty cool. If anyone is interested interested in playing bingo with me sometime, let me know. We can "get together" online and do this. Scrabulous is fabulous, but I get bored way too quickly!

Lesson I've learnt today:
Don't doubt yourself!
See, and I learnt this lesson all down to Guitar Hero.
Adam's been round today, and we played co-op mode.
I have to use the Wiimote, and I'm much more prone to bodging up with the Wiimote than I am with the guitar, natch.
So, I said I couldn't do Helicopter, by Bloc Party - and it's a really shitty song - but, I went for it.
Last time, we got 3 stars, this time, we got 4.
When we both have guitars, it'll be a 5, I assure you.
After he'd left, I started playing online.
I challenge myself, I set myself little forfeits too.
I'm trying to fill up all the song scores on Quickplay, as well as raise my rankings in the wi-fi stands on the community - www.guitarhero.com...
The link to my page is on the right. :)
So, I said to myself:
"If I lose this one, I do three songs. If I win this one, I do one song."
And I didn't lose any of them - so I was doing one song inbetween each match.
...So, here's where my lesson learnt today really came into play.
I was playing on Face-Off today - and on Face-Off, both players can choose different difficulties.
Now, if they were to pick Easy, I wouldn't pick Expert - for they'd abuse my weakness and pick Through The Fire And Flames.
I have had it happen, when I was on Hard against an Easy - twice.
So, if they chose Easy, I'd choose Medium.
They chose Medium, I'd either match, or choose Hard.
Hard, I would match.
Expert, I would match.
So anyway, I played through about 5 matches, all on Medium, and I was getting bored.
Then I was challenge by some gadge for a 3 song match, and they chose Expert.
So I chose Expert too.
I was worried a little, I haven't played another Expert over wi-fi for AGES.
And they only went and picked Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers - And I HATE that song.
Even so, I beat them by 5%.
So, feeling pleased, I did my one song on Quickplay - then returned to the online menu, and found another opponent.
This gadge was playing on Hard, and he wanted a 7-song match.
This sounded like fun, so I chose my character, and started picking my three songs.
It was by then that I noticed he was picking only level 8 and level 7 songs.
So he picked Raining Blood, Before I Forget and Knights Of Cydonia.
"Erghh... I'm not gonna win this one." I whimpered.
So I picked some level 5 songs.
Raining Blood started - and by about 30 seconds into the song, I realised there was an awful lot of mistake noises coming from the opposite fretboard.
I laughed, as I saw, for every 10 notes I hit, they were missing around 5 of them.
The final score was around 89% to me, and 53% to them.
FIFTY-THREE - that'd be a FAIL!
My song started - Holiday In Cambodia - my favourite setlist song - and I won by 15%!
Their song came next, Before I Forget - and they got 57%! Another FAIL!
Anything less than 78% on Career and Quickplay is a fail!
So I flew through the four songs, and won with a final score of 4-0.
He was so bad, we didn't even get to play our 3rd songs...
So there's your lesson for today.
Don't doubt your abilities.

I've spent my evening playing Guitar Hero III.
I managed to get 5 stars on Sabotage by The Beastie Boys, three times in a row - my score increased by a few thousand each time.
That's made me happy; as I've had the song in my head all day.
So what's better than coming home to play it. Tee hee.
After that, I got a few 100% clears on Medium - including Rock & Roll All Nite, Anarchy In The UK and Holiday In Cambodia.
I'm soon to be working towards replacing my 5 stars on Hard level with golden stars for 100% clears.
Whew, that'll be a job and a half.
After I improved some scores on Career and Quickplay modes, I did a few Face-Offs over wi-fi connection.
I played a 3 match Hard VS Hard, then a 7 match Hard VS Hard - and won both times. Yay.
After I'd had enough, I watched all 6 episodes of The Catherine Tate Show, series 2 - on DVD - whilst e-mailing Emily, mainly moaning about my writer's block.
I'm so addicted, I even have an idea brewing for a Guitar Hero fan fiction - a combination of all four games, of course.
Though I have the urge to write a lot of things at the moment, I don't think I'll get anywhere with anything.
...Sigh.
I've just been cleaning my teeth.
As you all know, I'm very dentaphobic, and now I'm developing a fear of my own teeth.
...Two of them have been stinging a little. One of my back molars was tingling when I brushed it... It has a filling in it already, I think the enamel is erroding around it...
...One of my front insisors has a small chip in it. And I've just noticed a tiny flake of whiter enamel to the right of it. ...I wish so hard that it's not going to turn into another hole...
...I know, I've not stopped drinking all the acidic things, but...
I have started drinking less of them... And I'm drinking Pepsi Max - only 2 litres a week, and that has no sugar...
It still has acid, but... It doesn't have sugar...
...So I'm dreading my next Kerruish and Moore letter...
