Assassing

Well, that's the official bit of Christmas over and done with, and I still have an entire week before I go back to work so hurrah for that.

My Mum and Dad left to go home this morning, and while it has been lovely having them here it is nice to get the house back to ourselves. Alicia has also gone off to visit her mother for two days so it really does seem quiet round these parts. So quiet in fact that I could hear a watch ticking on a shelf across the other side of the room this afternoon. Bliss!

I've also got back into working on my next T175 TMA and completed the section about RSS feeds in 296 words (for a 300 word limit). No sign of anybody else wanting to get organised for the online chat about virtual worlds though, so it might be just me talking to myself at this rate. Hmmm.

I finally got around to having a go at Assassin's Creed II, and it really does live up to expectations. I spent a couple of hours just running around the rooftops of renaissance Florence climbing towers, stealing treasure and just generally admiring the scenery. It did take me a little while to get the hang of the controls, but I think they can be summed up as hold down the right trigger and A button, and point yourself at the nearest wall with likely looking handholds.

In iTunes free downloads news, today's offering was Trivial Pursuit, which turned out to be not at all bad, at least when I'd discovered the pursuit mode rather than the tediously random classic mode. I don't know if I'll bother with any of the downloadable extra question packs but stranger things have happened at sea.
