April was actually a rather angry time as I recall as there was so much work to do and so little time to dedicate to anything else really, and as a result I actually wrote very little and when I did, it wasn’t overly clever. Yet what was written was border-line world class.

Granted I started writing about the year that was back in January, but a year’s review doesn’t finish at March and well seeing as it’s been such a long time since I’ve written great amounts, why not carry on?

The month kicked off with the special appearance on Gamers with Jobs with a great many things were discussed such as cross-gaming between the Xbox and PC thanks to Universe at War and Petroglyph’s Chris Ainsworth was along to talk about that aspect of things, but also various other enterprises were afoot including, and it’s hugely surprising that it’s still in there, there is talk about how people will be drawing naughty man bits with the Nintendo Wii.

However it still burns that I was the only one on the thing who sounds like he was buried alive and was waiting for Skippy to find help. I’m still wanting a return visit to the airwaves with the GWJ crew but alas my time from this moment on will be confined to random interval audio emails. Who knows, right? (He says with a nervous twitch and constant scratching of the arms)

But that was only the beginning.

The gun loving actor man, Charlton Heston of course, yelled “You maniacs! You blew it up!” for the last time during April 2008, and passed away, leaving the damned dirty apes around to wander freely and touch whoever they wanted.

Mind you, it’s now safe to say that towards the end he was becoming a fruit-loop. It’s safe because he’s dead unless zombies really do exist….balls.

Our friend Will Mason, who has now formed a band by all accounts, was broadcasting on Aston FM, leaving a trail of dead ears in his wake. Only listened to a couple of the shows but at least it was funny.

People were annoyed about “Dirty Tissue”,”Jizzy” or whatever the bloody hell his name was being a headline act at Glastonbury, which incensed me so much, that I had to instantly bound away from the degree work to comment on such matters and even to slaughter the choice properly, I listened to “Blue Magic” and “Show Me What You’ve Got” on YouTube, and well….couldn’t leave out the video I linked…could I? 🙂

Warning: The Video still contains 2 men and a woman driving expensive things while showing off how much money they have and how big their genitals are:

For the record I still think “Show Me What You’ve Got” is not that overly bad, the tune’s good to listen to while you’re changing car parts. However “Blue Magic” is still after all this time effing rubbish.

But there was one post which seems to echo what’s happening right now in a sense, that I do start wondering if it’s the time of the year or something;

I believe that if I do not calm myself down and return to the leisurely ways I used to take pride in being like, she will go. And that would be fair enough as no-one likes someone who moans about everything even when things look up.

I need a good sit-down and a jolly good think about what the situation is, and what can be done to quell the “Beast of Bonjella” that has consumed the soul of the Lord of Leisure and has left in it’s place, a bitter 90 old man, with a mug of beef tea, mumbling to passers by about how cold it is. Normally I’d ask for volenteers for kicking me up the backside, however that list may be rather long now as a result of recent times, so I won’t.

Whatever happens, all will become clear soon I feel and either it gets better or worse. My mind and heart are dangerous things to leave unguarded, in case they both leave the cage and go wandering off to find different things to laugh at, leaving me to hire Dastardly and Muttley to catch the b*****ds before another series of cartoons is made about those adventures. You know which ones….

Reading stuff like that makes me wonder…or forget and therefore repeat the same cycle over and over again, but there we are.

Aside from the ever present life crysiseseseses going on, Bioshock was reviewed in Gamer’s corner, Podcast 3’s contents were teased in what would later turn out to be one of the best bits of audio I’ve ever done, with the test of two Titans of yeast extract. It sounded more exciting than it was and the after taste was awful but in the name of both entertainment and boredom, it had to be done.

And Lekovska.com went live right at the end of it all, showing works of art the likes of which have only been seen since in a few exhibitions and front rooms. If you are feeling arty at all, you should still pay the site a visit.

And that wraps up March, join us tomorrow when we waddle back and forth about May, only a few months late of doing the review of 2008 properly. Enjoy!
