Puff

Yes that is the word Dominoes tried to use a while back to promote their pizzas and it back fired like an engine filled with chalk. It is also a word for how I feel right now. I am sick, I think it is glandular fever sorta thing although I don’t know exactly because all the doctor did was go, oh you came in a couple of days ago and you were told that you had a chest infection… here have another medical certificate. Still my throat feels like it is twice as huge as it should be and is sore. Where are decent doctors who give a damn (maybe I am just tired oh and that reminds me, I need to have my dose of meds for tonight. Will do that after I do this. Anyways, I feel shite and very drained of energy which sucks.

In other news GTA 4 has some real awesome nuggets and easter eggs if you look for them. There is stand up comedy performance (machinimated) by Ricky Gervais of The Office as well as awesome music by Justice and Kanyae West which lend a realistic modern touch to the game. Also of note are comedic critiques of the electoral campaigning currently taking place, terrorism, the US medical system and a number of other political and social issues. This includes critiquing the ever increasing use of email be individuals. Rather interesting and probably the real reason why ‘family groups’ do not like this game.

There is a lot of violence as usual but there are also subtle elements, like the dating mechanics which have been refined and involve a lot more story and which you don’t need to be violent to achieve your objectives. You can also just sit in the car and listen to the different radio stations for ages which is really cool. Overall, I am rather impressed with the level of detail that has gone into this game and the characterisation is second to none.

I read the Aeon Corporation website front to back to find out about what they offer and I am impressed with what I see. I am looking forward to the interview but this means that I will need to buy a suit and look all pretty. I also need to come up with a lesson plan and a demo lesson. I am thinking either doing a greetings and farewell exercise or something involving body rhythms and sentence construction. Will have to look into it further.
