I've been hit with the Weekend Wipe on BlogShares. I went home from work on Friday with a total portfolio [1]of 4500+. I was even 84th in the top 100 players list. I didnt have time to move shares around all weekened cos I've been extremely busy having fun.

I came back on monday to see a third of my worth wiped off. No wonder Abe wants to give up the whole BS thing; "I'm not getting any money out of this", she said. Didnt take her long to work that out eh?

Anyway... so "extremely busy having fun" means I woke up on saturday, saw my sister off to Ghana at Heathrow [cough cough]. Then I went off to Maureens at Ilford at around 3pm. As always she needed help with something, in this case her printer wasnt "working". Turned out the sheets werent being fed properly into the tray.

Anyway... i stayed around till around 7pm and went to Mante's in Plaistow. By then it was 9pm already and i'd decided i was gonna sleep over. That... and the fact that he'd borroed a PS2 with some fighting games on there. Virtua Fighter 4. Granted it's not MK4 but still it felt good kicking other people's asses for a change.

We played thru-out the night and started again early the next morning. We god joined by Mante's girlfriend's cousin [long eh?]... yeah SO George joined us and later Suzanne, another friend of Mante's came 'round. Apparently she doesnt like violent games but she did pack a mean punch.

I realised rather too late that i had to get home by 1045pm to catch 24[2] . So here I am... back at work with another week to look forward to.

Ethilda, you're question about when i'm adding new pictures has been answered; There are new pictures in April 2003[3] of the General[4] section of my Gallery[5]

One bad thing about all this is that, my random picture generator in the sidebar is broken and i havent got round to fixing it.
