What is gatorade?? These perplexing American words!

01:41 / 19.01.03

Gatorade is a sports drink created by some guy in florida who named it after their american football team The Florida Gators...

...And "Hi All!"

I thought it was how unemployed alligators paid for their defence if they were taken to court for eating people's legs and stuff.

02:06 / 19.01.03

They have severe troubles with alligators who try to cheat the system I hear... the means testing isn't effective enough.

Well, someone's grandma gets made into a handbag, her little aligator grandspawn never report it and start taking her checks, and it's all downhill from there. Much like this joke, which I sincerely hope can't get any worse than I just made it.

02:18 / 19.01.03

Wasn't there also some kind of telethon called "Gator Aid" a while back? I think Sting was probably involved.

All at once? Fucking hell!

02:53 / 19.01.03

NO C.M.S.B.I.A.W, not all at once...one after the other..in random order...through the miracle of winamp and MP3's.

05:44 / 19.01.03

I'm here, nobody else is. Whoop de doo. Sigh.

05:54 / 19.01.03

I'm still here. Not sure for how long, though- I am currently trying to gather a posse to go to the early-morning pub.

09:04 / 19.01.03

Well, at least you have pub fun. Alas, there has been no such joy for me this weekend.

09:27 / 19.01.03

I managed a posse of precisely ONE person (not including myself). And that was even after telling my entire office that I'd call the News of the World and accuse them of noncery if they didn't come to the pub. They may have realised I was actually bluffing. But it was still pub fun. Now I'm home, and have walked Biscy, and am having a last couple of beers before s-l-e-e-p before work. Then off for a week! Yay!

21:25 / 19.01.03

A week? Yikes. Lucky you. My only break in the forseeable future is a trip to Canberra for the Friday 31st - following Monday to visit some friends. And Canberra's all burnt down now anyway, so I don't know how thrilling a visit it'll be. Bah.

So, at work am I, listening to Public Enemy. Oo. Consider yourselves... WARNED!

21:30 / 19.01.03

Arrr. Back at work with a healthy supply of Throbbing Gristle to listen to.

Seth

21:31 / 19.01.03

Checking in swiftly before watching Heavenly Creatures on Beeb the Second. Hey y'all. Might be back in a couple of hours.

22:42 / 20.01.03

Tag-team, back again. Listening to terrible ambient wank for review, and subbing tennis stories.

Ahh, Heavenly Creatures. S'a good'un, that one.

Anyone else about?

ONLY NICE THINGS

23:09 / 20.01.03

Hello darlings. I have some work to do, so will probably be about. How are we all?

23:33 / 20.01.03

At work and TIRED. Tea is sustaining me at this point.

23:40 / 20.01.03

I am connecting to Undernet on IRC, channel #barbelith, if anyone's around (as per chat thread)... not sure how long for though.

ONLY NICE THINGS

23:42 / 20.01.03

Do I even *have* Mirc? So many things on this computer, so littel time to understand them...is there a download site?

w1rebaby

23:50 / 20.01.03

www.mirc.com has mIRC downloads - if you have Trillian, it already has an IRC client. mIRC is a few meg download though.

Undernet doesn't appear to have nickserv, which is the system I know of to register consistent, password-protected nicknames - which might be a barrier to using it in the future, people might be concerned as to whether someone is really who they say they are. I'm fairly new with IRC myself to be honest, so if anyone knows if I'm making a big mistake here....

01:01 / 21.01.03

Hello everyone, is everyone even there? Am in computer room at a ridiculously late hour reading fan fiction and being... well slightly insane I suppose. I can't even download mIRC on to this piece of shit machinery but then I suspect everyone's tucked up safely and sound asleep by now.

01:07 / 21.01.03

Im up and about, its only 10 pm here... currently working on some game design and trying to think up different workd for technology.

01:29 / 21.01.03

Evening all, I just got in from an incredibly silly club night where one of the djs was so drunk he was actually incapable of doing his job... so someone else took over (who was fab). Plus a pint = £1.50! hurrah.

01:36 / 21.01.03

Ooh, sounds exciting, night all - sleep well!

ONLY NICE THINGS

01:57 / 21.01.03

Night night Janinanna - I shall elect you to the Inner Circle of Sleepers forthwith.

02:09 / 21.01.03

Dang. No IRC action for me - java clients won't connect. Feck. But am now in posession of the Entropy In The UK TPB, and a copy of Can Our Love..., which is cool, and Kim Salmon's E(a)rnest which is massively crap.

So yeah. A "eh" kinda afternoon.

21:30 / 21.01.03

Dammit. Posting after myself again. Fuh.

Who's around? I'm at work again, and it's raining - thankfully. And this evening, I go see PJ Harvey. And hope that she gives me the eye. Again. Not that I'm fixated or anything. Oho no.

Goodness Gracious Meme

21:37 / 21.01.03

She'll be thinking of me, love.

Hey there, am tres jealous of yr date with PJH *swoon*

I'm in the evil net cafe around the corner that threatens to swallow my bank balance whole...

22:13 / 21.01.03

Heh. Be jealous. Be VERY jealous.

It's my Week Of Gigs, this week: Peej, Kraftwerk and Queens Of The Stone Age, all in a row. Poor but happy. But I'm looking forward to Peej most of all - the first tour in THREE that I've been able to see her...

Goodness Gracious Meme

22:16 / 21.01.03

Ha. its my week of staying in and eating beans, thanks to my bank balance/an impulse trip to london

Not that it's actually going to happen, of course.

Mazarine

22:35 / 21.01.03

I share your financial straits, Bengali. Except instead of a trip to London, my downfall was six boxes of girl scout cookies.

Goodness Gracious Meme

22:41 / 21.01.03

Aww. bless you Maz, that's so sweet. (and tasty no doubt.)

How are ya, chuck, poverty aside?
