From the FA Cup to Persia!

Just returned from my second session at the gym this morning that went as planned see the previous "Biceps of Nadal" post.

I had a breakfast that consisted of a glass of Orange Juice, 2 slices of toast and a banana. For lunch I intend to have some meat don't know what yet but some meat.

My muscles are really aching but I feel good for it. Got on the scales this morning and I'm now 17 stone 10 lbs.

On Friday my team Nottingham Forest take on their bitter rivals Derby County. Any Forest or Derby fan will tell you that this is one of the biggest rivalries in football, and it was a massive coincidence that we we're drawn to play each other in the FA Cup.

So this is a big game for both sides. We seem to be in a decent run of form at the minute so I'm confident we can do a job, good luck for Friday lads.

I've been playing the new Prince of Persia over the last few days, and I must admit at first I wasn't convinced and to be honest their are a few design decisions that I'm personally a little dubious of. But once you get past that some of the elements are borderline genius, I love the way you can string together the death defying leaps and bounds. I'm really enjoying the game.

Some of my friends and colleagues have argued that the game can feel like a big quick time event, I just think that they are wrong. :)

That said I'd have preferred it if they shoe horned the sands of time mechanic in there rather than the lady that flies and re-spots you, Sands of time's quick rewind just felt a little more fitting to me.

I do wonder why the lass that can fly, wont just fly me over the gaping chasm and be done with it. But I guess that wouldnt be much fun now would it.
