Someone had a plan, and that plan was surely to inflict living beings with the ability to be brought to their knees by, of all things, plants.

According to the NHS :

Hayfever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is a very common condition that affects two in every 10 people in the UK. It is caused by an allergy to airborne substances such as grass or hay pollen, which affects the upper respiratory passages (nose, sinus, throat and eyes).

Seriously, its like having a fucking pineapple rammed into your nose and then feathers lightly sprinkled down your throat just to make the sensation that slight bit more interesting. Even more frustratingly it’s not actually an affliction that has hampered me my entire life. Thankfully I went through my entire childhood with no-sign of a sniffle, my brother was the only one in the family that actually had the issue.

I must have really done something awful when I hit my 20′s as it struck me and it struck me hard, especially recently. To sum it up I woke up at 4am this morning, my tongue felt like it was twice the size, I was snuffly and the top of my mouth was itching. Have you ever tried scratching the top of your mouth ? Not possible, IT JUST GETS WORSE.

On a brighter note, long weekend, I spent around seven hours playing Ghostbusters on the 360 and am thoroughly enjoying it, just noticed my friend Stu has also imported a copy so might hook him up for some c-op. Nearing the end but the storyline is more than worth it.

Also Bloodbowl came out, finally, everything I hoped it was gonna be. Not sure if the dice rolling is quite as random as it probably should be as it seems to come in spouts of good or bad luck, but the idea is there. Just waiting for some love from patches as they are apparently working on four new teams. The first two already confirmed as the Undead and Dark elves. The Undead I am looking forward to if only for seeing all the different looking zombies and skeletons.

Anyhow, back to work.

At least that’s certainly what it feels like.

Another long long double week at work made only longer by the fact it’s been quiet. Its a harsh line, am I happy that it’s quiet and don’t have to work or would I rather it be excruciatingly busy so that the day just zooms by.

It’s by no means a bad job, just wish sometimes there was more to it ?

Anyhow, rant over, some awesome news was dropped by “Jessica” over on the bloodbowl forums last night letting us know that in face the game will be trickle released as of midnight on the 24th! Luckily this is Paris time so it’s in fact 11pm GMT and they will be releasing the game 500 or so per hour.

I can only hope I’m in the first hour or so as I would really like to get the download done by the time I get back from work on Thursday to start crunching some skulls as my Goblin team.
