Inspired somewhat by anony_moos I have jumped on the social bandwagon and joined Twitter. I have also managed to get it to ship my posts to Livejournal, even though I didn't do half of the things the tutorial said I needed to do in order for the application to do so. I beat the internet! I am a little disappointed to discover that only one of my RL friends uses Twitter that I can see, but I'm sure given time I'll find more people to follow. I'm only posting via the web at the moment - I know I have the option to post via text message but my phone's a bit shit and I don't get free texts or anything like that so I'm being a technophobe and not playing with that part of the system.

I have also officially given up on Animal Crossing: City Folk. I'm happy to watch Tom play on and make our town nice, but for me it involved too much effort. I would have enjoyed it much more, I think, had it been a new game on the DS, because it's a format that fits with the handheld so much better than the Wii. Never mind. More time for Fable 2!
