Today is my actual birthday. Given that there can only be a few more years when I am able to get on a board and go sailing, it is of a some significance (to me) to go windsurfing on my birthday and wave a finger at decrepitude. You haven’t won yet you bastard! Last year was not possible because I was in the process of being discharged from hospital. This year there was no wind. Next year perhaps. I did get a cake from she who must be obeyed, and before I eat that we plan to go for a nice dinner somewhere. That’s about enough birthday excitement for someone my age.
There was something else to celebrate today apart from the coming into being of me; the release of the latest, and last, add-on for Grand Theft Auto IV; The Ballad of Gay Tony. Sadly I discovered I did not have enough Xbox credits to buy it, so will have to wait a week for a fresh supply to arrive from Hong Kong. Bugger.
Apart from a host of new missions, there are additional programs on the in-game TV stations. Station CNT, for example, will be bringing us the adventures of Princess Robot Bubblegum.
Also was pleased to see that GTA has not lowered standards in respect of generally pissing off those who adopt some form of moral stance:
Life is good, may I still be around for Grand Theft Auto 14.
