The Smiths – Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now
Yep this musical performance by one of Manchester’s finest, The Smiths, reflects the day i’ve had without any sort of home console to play. Not only that I can’t watch movies because I used my PS3 for that too. Yep so to sum up today, my first day in nearly a year, without my good ol’ PS3 i’ve chosen ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’. Something nice and cheery to kick off the weekend.
Good news is I can back up my data and the like with the help of my cousin, his PS3 and an external HDD so that helps. Still this musical performance really does set the mood.
By the way i’m the equivalent to the dude with the brick. At the moment that is what my PS3 is a lumbering great brick with ‘Everybody’s Golf: World Tour’ stuck in it. I might take it out on a piece of string.
Hey guys, Fans (and total fanboys like me) of the Metal Gear franchise will be happy to know that David Hayter, the magnificent voice of Solid Snake, was interviewed on IGN’s Playstation Podcast ‘Podcast Beyond’. Anyway I just thought i’d give you guys a heads up and let you check out the interview because it’s actually pretty cool, but I would say that.

Yeah the GTA countdown has been reincarnated. It has taken the new form of the PS3 countdown which is, believe it or not, the countdown until I get my PS3 back from Sony. I’ll be documenting my ever mounting boredom without my PS3 for 4 whole days!
I will be posting my usual stuff like daily events but will be interjecting the posts with music to fit the mood.
I’m not currently at home and can’t access YouTube so there’ll be no music in the first post but it will appear later today.

Here Lies Barmelo’s PS3
11.05.07 (approx.) – 25.04.08
Yeah folks, my PS3 is pushing up the daises (hey let’s get the guy from the show in) and it’s final curtain has finally fell. My beloved Playstation 3 has lasted less than a year before becoming one of the 1% of PS3’s to have failed. It’s a sad day, a truly sad day. I have contacted Sony and as it’s under warranty they WILL be sending me a ‘new’ console free of charge, which should arrive on TUESDAY!
Why Tuesday of all days? Why that day? Tuesday is GTA day and that’s not good especially if I don’t get it back whilst 6pm and/or my Special Edition of GTA arrives early (which is possible). I guess it could be worse I could’ve ended up with no console for ages (a la Microsoft & the 360). I tried all of my local GAME shops and they’ve no 60GB consoles as they’re discontinued so i have to rely on Sony not to mess it up.
I was having a rather good day up until that point too. I was off college so I decided that in my time of boredom that i’d visit the ol’ cinema and watch a film. Well I rushed into the Odeon @ The Trafford Centre just in time to catch the beginning of the movie, that movie being the new Judd Apatow produced comedy, ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ starring Russell Brand (Various), Kristin Bell (Heroes/Veronica Mars) & Jason Segel (Knocked Up/How I Met Your Mother).
Yeah it was a pretty good movie. Russell Brand portrays, well, himself (with a different name o’ course) and because of that, and the fact I like Mr. Brand’s stand-up comedy, I thought it was a damn good movie and it pretty much had me laughing throughout.
God i sounded like a reviewer there. Well I guess that’s my mini review on ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and my verdict is that if you like Russell Brand and movies like ‘Knocked Up’ & ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’ then this movie is for you.
Other than that i’ve been sat waiting for nothing as my PS3’s dead and i’ve absolutely nothing planned i’m pretty much gonna be bored until it turns up or something rather eventful happens.
N.B. As a mark of respect for my PS3 (lol) I will stop posting the GTA countdown as of today, thank you.
I would also like to dedicate this to my fallen comrade.
