Life minus 360

Poor Monty. Holed up all week without the 360. Poor, poor Monty. It might be nice to see guests from England, catch up on old times and go out sightseeing. But Monty misses that “Me” time in front of the telly. As each hour passes, so do the opportunities. “What do you guys wanna do today? A visit to Protaras? A quick drive up to the mountains?  Shoot f*ck out of people online all day?”

They never seem to go for the last option. 
Is it rude to tell the four year old guest to stop watching Boomerang and turn away so that you can rack up a few more headshots? Is it ethical to keep telling guests how tired they look so that you can sneak back downstairs 15 minutes later after pretending to turn in for the night?
It doesn’t feel all that wrong...
Temptation to feign illness grows by the day. “I’d love to spend the day walking in Troodos with you, but it’s this in growing toe nail of mine, I’d only slow you down.”
 
All is not well. When a hobby becomes a dependency you see someone different looking back at you in the mirror.

The DSi, Aaaii!

The new DS, the 3rd generation, has just been released. Nintendo didn't officially announce what the DS stands for. Some claim it stands for Dual Screen while others Developers' System. I couldn't care less.

First there was the DS, then came the DS lite and now DSi is out. I believe the "i" stands for Ali G's favourite exclamation: Aaiii, or simply Ai that defines "coolness" status. Da DSi is wicked. Me luv dis! Respect!
