Bed

Bernard has now spent the past six nights in a bed. Well, with the exception of the time that he’s spent on the floor next to his bed, or on one occasion, underneath his bed.

He seems to be much happier without bars. When he wakes in the morning, he doesn’t have to wail at ever-increasing volume until someone comes to rescue him. Instead, he can just slide out of bed and waddle around upstairs to his heart’s content.

A consequence of this change is that the POÄNG has been returned to the sitting room, and a bean bag moved upstairs to replace it. The POÄNG is a most adequate gaming chair, and certainly beats sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of the television. Ironically, on Sunday I completed Tomb Raider Anniversary ((which I’ve been playing since mid-January)) and so now I have a lovely gaming chair, but no games to play while sitting in it.

On an unrelated note, you see that “YOU ARE HERE” thing at the top-left of the page? What are your thoughts on the usefulness of that? Many thanks.

I have recently gotten a desk/chair combo that satisfies my needs as a gamer and shiny new PC… what did I play for the first few days? Thats right, Bejeweled and Spider Solitaire

Eventually I thought I should try some of the games I got for the PC like Bioshock and Crysis (lawyers!) but even then I’ve gravitated to Company of Heroes and Oblivion instead. New games? Peh, I’ll get to them some time later this year.

Its a big multi-tiered bugger and I left out the metal edged strips (knew they would just lead to bruised kneecaps) and the keyboard tray which… I might be alone in this but I hate keyboard trays and would rather just sit the keyboard on the main workarea

Its the Silver Edge from Staples.

The chair came free with it, I’m giving it a good work-out and convinced that it’ll snap before I do.

I just know I’m going to regret adding that href in there… you’ve probably got some sort of blocking code or soemthing thats going to eat this comment and tell me off for daring to put any html in the comments, don’t you…

You’re not alone. Though I do endorse the use of monitor platforms.

Nice desk. 70cm is a good depth for a desk. Those metal strips at the edge do look completely pointless.

Om nom nom.
