It’s been a rather hectic couple of weeks in Brisbane. I’d like to say its due to some sort of active social life but mostly, I think me and Jen have been eating out at restaurants a lot. We’ve become so involved with wining and dining around Brisbane that we’re thinking of making a hobby out of it and keeping some kind of record of the places we eat at. It will also serve as a good outlet for venting as there are plenty of places in Brisbane that have amazing food but the customer service suuuuuucks. Jen got herself a ‘food journal’ and I think I’ll just blog about places.
We’ve also been on something of a shopping spree over the past week. Jen picked up the iphone 3GS for herself (good old staff discount) so I inherited her old 3G iPhone. Which is a godsend because I had the Sony Xperia before that and it was a pretty crappy handset that was too fiddly to use.

iPhone 3G 🙂
We also decided to upgrade the entertainment unit in the bedroom with an iPod docking station and the new PS3 Slim.

iPod Docking Station: now I can listen to Pat's rendition of When I Come Around from the comfort of my bedroom

Playstation 3 Slim: still goddamn huge really
In a strange bit of timing, the day after I picked up the PS3, my busted Xbox 360 got returned by Microsoft, fixed and almost as good as new! (disc tray still gets stuck sometimes)

Faulty Xboxes: Every six months or so they stop working, but then they get repaired under warranty and Microsoft have to give you free stuff to compensate. Its a strange arrangement.
Lastly, its been a few months since I bought a new game so I thought I’d try out the new Batman game that just got released. So far, its pretty sweet.
