Cat temperatures
Apr. 10th, 2003 02:21 pmIt is cold and wet outside. I knew this before I looked out of the window because Emily Marle (our resident feline) has made a bid for the sofa. She is curled up with an air of "I'm staying put until dinnertime" which means that life on the other side of the catflap is pretty horrible.
Computer-wise, I have finished Broken Sword 2 and enjoyed it (I'm now considering ordering Broken Sword 1 which is supposed to be better). It is a click and point adventure in the style of the Monkey Island series although the hero, whilst blond with comic lines, is slightly less Guybrush-like than the original (his girlfriend has the best line though : "I decided to play dumb, but with good bone structure". OK, you probably had to be there.). Icewind Dale 2 is now listed (by WH Smith) as "out of stock" and "due to be restocked within 14 days". Hmmmm. It has already been nearly that for them to find out they were out of stock in the first place. Never mind, I have instead been looking at distant future releases such as Syberia 2, Final Fantasies X-2, XI and XII and reading the Final Fantasy VII sequel rumours (OK - only one actual official rumour, but pages of speculation).
The twins are a little more whingy and attention-grabby than usual. Bea fell asleep on a sofa cushion in a cute pose, so I photographed her, leaving Ryan feeling outdone (for once). Hopefully the Monde and Dragon-blooded sessions at the weekend will saturate their attention wants. Either that, or leave them incurably spoilt.
Finally, my second book is going incredibly slowly. At least its still going though. I thought last week I had become permanently stuck.
