Wow its been a while since I last posted here! I actually meant to post here a while back but always got distracted by other things (just another slack excuse).

Anyway, Feet. You’re probably (not) wondering why I put up that particular title. Well I have them. I’d been having problems with my feet for a while – since the beginning of the year actually – and it got to a point that when I would walk from work to the train station (which could be a 20 minute walk and a casual pace) my feet would begin to ache, and then it got to a point that by the end of the working week I felt more like a cripple hobbling along with the amount of severe pain going through my feet, ankles, legs and knees. My Dr said that I may have a heel spur – a type of bone growth on the bottom of the heel so it feels like you are walking on a nail all day long (that was the pain I described I had). But the pain got really bad that I ended up going to a podiatrist who said “No , you don’t have a heel spur though you have similar symptoms. Your feet are flat – they have no arches so the muscles are pulling to a point where the muscle under the heel is tearing so it does actually feel like you might even be walking on the bone.” Not a nice description but that’s about what she said.

As you can see there’s a new theme for my blog site. Its Gundam related since I’m going to revamp the blog a bit to add in images and information on the Gundam Model Kits I put together. I’ve set up a page already and have put a few images up for the moment. I may have pages for each of the kits that I create and then have the image galleries linked from those pages but at the moment there is only one gallery up and that is the MG RX-93 Hi-Nu Gundam. Its fairly detailed and its likely to be the only one with that much detail at the moment though I may do that sort of thing in the future with other MG kits. I am in the process of taking better photos of my current completed kits though I will need to dust a few of them off before photographing!

After a few problems in getting accounts linked up, and redeeming codes for cool stuff, I finally started playing Mass Effect 2 and I love it so far!

I imported my previous Shepherd across (original male but with a different first name) and although you don’t start off with the high level and paragon/renegade points, some of it does translate across so you are not starting out from the beginning again. There are a lot of aspects of this game that I really love but there are also a few downsides. For example, the loading times are too long and cumbersome. Yeah they put up interesting graphics relating to that particular moment (like if you are arriving on planet, you see a wireframe diagram of the shuttle taking off from the Normandy and landing planetside, and vice versa) but it just gets a bit boring after a while. The scanning of planets for minerals and metals was a good concept… to begin with, but then it too also got boring rather quickly. Read the rest of this entry »
