What a week-end.

Well, this week-end started off with a bang. First I had the EPI-USE year-end function: a dangerously silly-sounding theme of 50s, 60s and 70s. I had a shower and then took a nap, hoping beyond hope for fate to take a hand and cause me to oversleep and miss it. But then Aubrey phoned and chided me into going after all. (By that time I was already 30 minutes late, but found this not to be a problem since everyone else was).

Well, the party turned out to be entertaining, and I could at least squeeze out a "Jean Genie" from the Jukebox.

I left early (11pm) with some friends, and went to my place to watch "Princess Bride", chat some and watch some music videos, talk and drink coffee.

Got to bed at only 2am.

Saturday after I got back from the 'boere-mark' having bought loads of berries, I decided to clean out my place, and I practically got rid of half my furniture. I drove around like a crazy looking tor places selling leather couches, and finally went home. The evening I went to Menlyn shopping centre, and true to self, impulsively bought a neat 3-seater plush leather couch. Yummy... (will only get it in Feb. though) I felt so flamboyant, that afterward I went to dine (without a reservation!) at 'La Madeleine' with by best friend.

Sunday started with the holistic fayre (an essoteric fair) where I had my eyes examined by an Iridologist who likened me to a stud bull.... Hmm...

-grin-

After the fair I got rid of most of my furniture with the help of Aubrey, after which I rushed to the gym and had a grueling session of squash (of which I lost 6 games out of 6)

Also quickly played 2 Go games against Riaan... one even, the other with 6 stones handicap... beat him both times by about 35 points.

Then went home and slept.

Well, nothing more to report...

So which is better? The Sony PSP or the Nintendo DS?

I recently went on a trip to Japan, and was faced with a choice on a new handheld gaming device to purchase for a friend. So which is better? What are the differences? First-off, I personally own a Gameboy Advance, and I finally chose to buy the PSP. The reason for the choice was that I already owned both an iPod and a Gameboy Advance, but this friend of mine had neither... so for me the DS may have been a better choice, but only slightly. Firstly the DS: This little machine is slightly heavier than the PSP, but folds away neatly, it's more solid and resiliant, the games are cheap, load fast and can use older Advance cartridges. The screen has a huge surface and the touch screen is really nifty. The technology is way behind the PSP, but it is also about $50 less in price. So this device has a huge advantage with current game availability. It also has a good battery life (something I appreciate after my Japan trip on both my iPod and Gameboy). The PSP: This is a slick-looking device...
