Games games games

Spent a lazy morning doing nothing much. Came across a cool video of the French train world speed record from earlier this year. It's a modified TGV running on standard rails and it managed to reach 357mph. There's a shot at 03:49 of it going under a bridge at that speed and it's just insane.

Spent the afternoon at Will's messing around with games. We spent some time on Halo 2 and Gears of War on Xbox Live, which was fun, and I had a quick go on Super Paper Mario. It kind of plays like a classic Mario game, but with plenty of twists. Really good stuff. Also tried out Mercury Meltdown, which was also good, but very frustrating.

Restrung the mandolin as the ones on it were crap. I hate doing this, it's such a pain. Sounds better now though.
