Why is the Asian PS store so rubbish? The selection of games is so limited compared to the US store. No Sony, just because I'm Asian doesn't mean that I want to play Dynasty Warrior 8.

why in the world would you romanticize living in a small town. there is nothing to do and everyone is on drugs.

I've actually never had haggis, but I'm kinda curious to find out what it tastes like. My flatmate loves it though.

Spices, mostly. :P It's got lots of black pepper and some other spices in it. Hence why I do not like it. But if you have a greater tolerance for spiciness than I do then you might well enjoy it! :D Are you going to wait for a particular occasion to try it or do you think you might seek it out?

Extracts from my life #1

I just went out into the garden to feed my chickens, and they all ran around me and out the door of their pen. Then they were just running around everwhere and my dog was ducking for cover because he's afraid of them. They're not meant to be out at the moment because they're on medication so I had to get them back in except everytime I picked one of them up and put it back into the pen, by the the time I went to get another one it had escaped again.

So I've just spent the last seven or so minutes chasing chickens around my lawn with a rake.

This is my life.

By the way, my chickens are called Cluck Skywalker, Hen Solo, and Princess Layer after the star wars characters. FYI. We name all our pets after film characters. My dog is called Indy after Indiana Jones, specifically the line in the third film when Henry Jones Sr. shouts 'WE NAMED THE DOG INDIANA!'.
