Name Change

Name change, I've decided that I'm not really manic as such but more spontaneous to be honest and anyway weasels are more spontaneous than Kittys (however much I like cats). Also it helps differentiate the blog from others called Manic Kitty.

Bastille!

One of my new Favourite bands is the English "Indie Pop" group Bastille they have an energetic vibe and everyone seems to like them (unlike most of my music) to such and extent that they have reached no.2 in the charts. I don't really have that much to say about them other than their music is great (especially acoustic) and the singer needs a haircut. Theirs lots of nice tunes and rythms in there and though they're not maybe the most original or talented band they're certainly the best thing high up the British charts in years.

Civ V Something is very wrong here!

I am currently in the process of experiencing a very bizarre situation, I'm actually doing well in my first game of something. I've never had any games consoles other than the trusty computer and disapproving parents have meant that I am well out of practice. However I finally got Civ V working on a computer an to my shock I actually became good at it. Once I'd worked my way around the various menus I started a game as Bismarck, okay admittedly I was playing at settler level but still what followed was an extraordinary occurrence. I played for hours, fighting various wars and making Berlin look like a 1600s Tokyo until I reached the point were other Civs go mad! America was at one point my closest rival but that lasted about as long as their capital (mwuhhaha) Greece was going to attack as well but they resorted to peace without a fight. As I write I've destroyed Siam and America entirely and  my score is well into the 600s my closest rival (Catherine) is only in the 300s. Its the first game I've ever done well on my first time and interestingly enough I think I like it (what a coincidence)!
