Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

I got the unit! I applied for a unit yesterday to live in because I don't like where I am currently staying, and I was accepted. I can even take my cat!! And the best part. The place is only 4 years old so everything is basically new. I am soooooo happy.

Truckers

I just finished reading Truckers, by Terry Pratchett. It didn't take long to finish once I got started. It's quite a good book, and the first in a trilogy, so now I am looking forward to reading the other two, Diggers and Wings.

I have also started playing Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, which I borrowed from Quoth. I don't have much choice in the games I play. Not because he throws games at me that he has played and enjoyed, but because there are not that many games that will run smoothly on my laptop. I mainly have to resort to old adventure games. But seeing that I like adventure games, that isn't too much of a problem.

However, I was really looking forward to playing Discworld Noir, have played Discworld 1 and enjoying that, but alas, it wouldn't run.

That's Life! Winner

I recently got a slip from the Australia Post informing me that I had a parcel to pick up. I went there and was shocked to find out that I had won a battery inflatable velour queen mattress from That's Life! I often buy either That's Life! or Take 5 to do the puzzles and then send off the entry form to try and win something, but this time I actually won. It was the first time that I had won anything from all my entries I had posted in the past. So, I have to say that brightened up my day.

In other news, I finished playing Sam & Max Hit The Road. It was quite difficult, and unfortunately I had to resort to using the Universal Hint System for help.
