GTA IV

So picked up GTA IV for the PlayStation 3 the other day. Its pretty good... Graphics are great, story is good. Its really the first game for the PS3 that has grabbed me. But there is a problem.... Why the heck does Rockstar continue to have the worlds crappest save games system! I mean this is the same... return to the house to save the game system from GTAIII. I mean, what the heck, is it 1980's? Why can't I just save in the middle and come back to stuff. I'm not a kid anymore, I have things to do, wife to help, the occasional call from work. Why can't I just save and walk away?

Other than that... good fun. I haven't even tried to go on line yet.

You can use it to plan our, record, or check out other peoples routes. We used it for the last ride to Kamakura. Clever and useful I like to check out this site for ideas... anyone up for the ride from Toronto to Barrie???

Peanut Butter Mother F*cker

Well this was a bit of a shock... out at another supermarket today (Kiyomi and I tend to buy groceries for the day... as most Japanese people do) and saw this lady. You can't see it... but she's a mother in her thirties, with two kids ( a boy and a girl - Kiyomi confirmed).

Yes the jacket says... Peanut Butter Mother F*cker... OMG... best jacket I have seen in a while. Somebody send this up to the Engrish.com

(If you have never checked it out... go to http://www.engrish.com/ its a laugh)

Hey Greenpeace I found some of the Whale

So check this out. Doing some shopping with the wife on Saturday, and in your regular supermarket in Japan... I found whale bits. I have no idea what bit of the whale this is... but Kiyomi confirmed what it is. Basically, Greenpeace... if you are looking for evidence that some of the "Research" AHEM whales are ending up on Japanese dinner plates, then go to Tokyu store in Musashikoyama. Oh.. yeah I think it looks really nasty too.

Happy MothersDay

Well to all the fine Mom's out there... including mine... a quick wish at a very happy Mothers Day. I'm not sure if it is the same day here, I know that it is different in England... but in Japan seems to be a very small issue.
