Spoilers to follow

I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest a few days ago, pretty messed up ending with the dude getting a lobotomy, seriously not cool. Typical Jack Nicholson performance though, doing the crazy thing he does best.

I got my DS card on Wednesday, which is really impressive considering it left Hong Kong on Sunday. Some seriously fine work, China.
Been happily getting into Elite Beat Agents, Hotel Dusk, Phoenix Wright, Trauma Center and WarioWare, with another half a dozen games I've yet to properly try. I'm really bitter about Advance Wars being the only game that doesn't work though, I absolutely loved the original on the GBA and was really looking forward to this one, a bit heart breaking that I won't be able to spend all those hours executing brilliant tactical maneuvers like I did with the first.

I'm encoding videos to put on my iPod as I type this, the first few episodes of Moyashimon and the last few of Manabi Straight, some Breaking Bad and the Argentinian rally are all going on there, which should be a very good amount to see me through the week.

Other than that I'm pretty much set, just one more day and then I can piss off for a week, excellent.

This time next week

After finding a return coach to Blackpool for under 35 sterling I got straight on booking my intensive course, which is all set for the week after next. I'll be leaving next Sunday and hopefully returning the Friday after with my licence.
The card for my DS was posted from Hong Kong today, with a claimed seven to fifteen days delivery it's pretty dubious if it'll get here in time, but all I can do is pray it does as it will be seriously indispensable for the trip.

I've started watching the anime series Baccano!, which is alright. It's sold as a sort of a 1920s American Gangster deal with lots of different characters with completely different stories intertwining, kind of making it sound like the next Cowboy Bebop, but it's nowhere near that good. The one cool thing about it is how it seems to have every famous voice actor under the sun, from Vicious to Kyon's sister back to Ryosuke Takahashi, it had me pausing the first episode every five minutes to find out where I knew that voice from.

I started watching Breaking Bad recently as well, which is a really dark comedy about a science teacher that discovers he has cancer, and with less than two years to live he starts making crystal meth to leave his family with some money, with hilarous consequences.
The lead's played by Hal from Malcolm in the Middle, which is the perfect casting. But typical to every decent American series that tries to do something a little different, it only has seven episodes, I'm enjoying it while it's here though.

One rather nice discovery is the Jazz Spastiks, who I came across in a random drifting video on youtube. Great beats, and a 23 track album for only £7, a very reasonable price that I am more than willing to pay when every penny goes to the artist.
Might even be the first album I've ever bought.
