Driving Around Town

Today's Weigh In - 233.2 pounds


Today was a fairly ordinary and routine day. I didn't do much exercise today ( a mere ten minutes on the exercise bike) as i spent most of the day yawning and trying to fight off tiredness.


I picked my sisters up from school with Mum and then drove them to the doctors'. Mum vanished into the building and my sisters and i were having one of our random chats - this time about Tabatha (from 'Tabatha's Salon Takeover') and Florian (from 'GTAIV').


Mum got her results back and it seems that she had been suffering from a mild case of food poisoning (which she suggestively may have gotten from eating the pot full of veggies, potato and mince that she had been eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days straight). She is all better now, which is a relief.


Meanwhile at home, i spent a fair chunk of today watching the news with Dad and following the day's events in regards to the upcoming federal election. Not much occurred apart from the two parties making pledges to improve Australia (Labor's proposed Principal scheme, and the Liberal's tourism pledge).


Of particular note in the news, however, was the report that Julia Gillard claimed that she would be stepping up her game and reveal the 'real' Julia. Considering there is less than three weeks to go until the election, and with both parties neck and neck for top spot, it seems a bit suss to me that she has been holding back until now. Hmm.


Speaking of television, today's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful was very dramatic. Steffy and Pam's plan to sabotage Hope's press confrence came to fruition as the TelePrompTer was disconnected, and a frightened Hope Logan was even more embarrased when her lit up name shorted out the P and E, leaving her name as 'HO LOGAN'. I can see next episode shit is going to go down. Brooke is going to crack the shits with Steffy big time.


Meanwhile, Donna and Katie were trying to calm down their father who was fuming after Donna was carried away from Forrester Creations in a pest exterminator truck (courtesy of Pam). This event combined with Hope's embarrasing confrence will most likely result in an aggressive comeback from the Logan family. Only time will tell.


In regards to gaming, i had a productive and successful day playing GTAIV. Playing two sessions today (10:30 - 12:30 and 5:30 - 7:30), i managed to get a number of missions done and dusted, along with some side missions.



The first session saw the completion of six missions (the remaining 4 of Faustin's missions, Little Jacob's last mission, and another mission for Roman). The missions were completed in the following order:


Do You Have Protection?
Final Destination
No Love Lost
Shadow
Logging On
Rigged to Blow



Unfortunately, i didn't unlock any trophies this session, nor did i complete any side missions. However, in the second session i make up for it.


The second session saw the completion of five more missions (2 of Brucie's missions, both of Dimitri's missions, and another of Roman's missions). They were completed in the order listed below:


Search and Delete
Easy As Can Be
The Master and the Molotov
Russian Revolution
Roman's Sorrow



In regards to trophies, i managed to unlock two trophies this session. They were:



Lowest Point - completed the mission "Roman's Sorrow".
One Hundred and Eighty - scored a 180 in darts.
Courier Service - completed Little Jacob's drug deliveries.


I also completed some more Random Pedestrian missions in this session. They were:


Brian (3rd Encounter)
Badman


EDIT: Additionally, i set up my online gaming profile on the Playstation Network today as well, and since i was wide awake at 11PM, i decided to have a crack at the GTAIV Multiplayer games. They were quite entertaining, and i managed to unlock two multiplayer trophies in the process. The trophies were:


Cut Your Teeth - ascended a rank in multiplayer mode.
Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie - killed a Rockstar player in multiplayer mode.


In regards to Mafia Wars, i completed the "Associate" tier today, mastering all jobs and unlocking the Roadster (a 7% damage reduction against enemy attacks). I also completed the Heart Flush collection (resulting in a nice +5 max health boost!)


Well, that was my day pretty much. Until next post, ciao! xD
