At least you can see where you spill red wine, which can be good or bad. Beer's more insidious when linked to keyboards.

Ooh, nearly finished the fifth bottle of Becks. Shall we go for a sixth? Or shall I go to sleep?

You know, G Gundam is on TV right now, and it's hard to believe that a show involving giant robots can be so boring. Mind you, Transformers Armada is far more boring.

I hear orange juice is the worst and that one is better off rinsing it with water if it happens.

*did he just say "one"?? Perhaps Barbelith is rubbing off on him at last*

mixmage

03:19 / 03.01.03

Go for the sixth!

Ethan Hawke

03:24 / 03.01.03

I just figured out that Barbetime is 6 hours ahead of my timezone. For some reason that makes me feel like an idiot.

mixmage

03:31 / 03.01.03

Lol. Thank you Anna for starting 6. If you scrolled up thru 5, you'd see me figuring it out too. why is barbetime set "elsewhere", rather than the geographical location I imagine the server to inhabit?

Opened that beer yet?

Ethan Hawke

03:33 / 03.01.03

I've got no beer; well, I do have beer, but it wouldn't do me any good to start drinking now. I am, in fact, at the bottom of a bottle of Pink Grapefruit Juice.

mixmage

03:35 / 03.01.03

Same here Todd. I guess the wine lives to fight another day. I've had 'em for months... what is wrong with me?

Ethan Hawke

03:38 / 03.01.03

I've been kind of obsessed with drinking Bloody Marys lately - whenever I go out to an afternoon brunch-lunch or whatever, I get one. I bought some Vodka, and some Bloody Mary mix, but I haven't cracked it open yet. For some reason I can't get into the mood for one at home. Which is odd, because if I make it myself I can add as much hot sauce as I want.

mixmage

03:44 / 03.01.03

mmmmm... been on a bit of a vodka kick myself recently. Can't say I'm a big fan of Bloody Maries or Ceasars though. Maybe I haven't given it enough of a chance.

How about spilling one of those on a keyboard? heh

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:59 / 03.01.03

Hah! I'm going home to drink beer any minute! Beer! Beer... and videogames.

mixmage

04:08 / 03.01.03

Finished the Thing, esteemed Chairman?

I got bored and started hammering a few newer ones.

mixmage

04:42 / 03.01.03

Ho-hum... gonna smoke one last cigarette then try to get some sleep. Anyone there? The 'Koid that never sleeps? Todd with the Vodd?

The Return Of Rothkoid

05:11 / 03.01.03

I NEVER sleep. Am still here, but soon off for beers.

mixmage

06:12 / 03.01.03

Sink one for me, Rothkoid.

mixmage

06:18 / 03.01.03

*decides to open the wine after all*

Cheers Late Shift!

mixmage

06:37 / 03.01.03

It's snowing in Birmingham, the wine is delicious and this has turned into the not-so-late shift! Go to sleep, you Slacker!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

08:31 / 03.01.03

Not finished the Thing yet... have got to the bit where there's ten cells, some monsters, and me with no fucking bullets left. And decided to give it a break while I see if my undead horde can once and for all nail them pesky elven bastards in Warcraft III.

(I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I'm just not very good at video games, much as I love 'em.)

NOW- not late at all, unless you're (a) somewhere other than England or (b) working nights. I've just been to the pub, come home, done some housework, and am now sitting down with a beer and Barbelith before walking my dog and buying a new alarm clock. (I've overslept the last two nights and been late for work. I'm seeing a pattern emerging.)

Utopia

09:20 / 03.01.03

It's 6:15 AM Philadelphia time. I've been doing lighting on a movie since 2:30 yesterday afternoon. I came home and can't sleep, so I'm just waiting until the sun comes up. Disk 2 of the "White Album" is on right now and I'm writing manifestoes on film like some sort of madman. Viva nightstalkers!

Hello Barbelith, my little love bunnies, what ya doin?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:00 / 03.01.03

Back at work again, ho ho. So, which UK 'lithers are planning on coming to sfd's bash tomorrow?

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:01 / 03.01.03

I'm back.

Holy fuck. A friend from work's flatmate had her 30th. I went along. It was dress-up, so I wore black and sunglasses (how strange, for me) and said I was a standover man. Which changed into a French standover man with addition of someone's beret. But let's just say that a mixing of two types of unmentionables, two bottles of red, champagne and bitters and some incredibly lethal cocktail isn't a good idea. Well, it is, but I just can't remember most of it. Except for The Fear.

What I do recall is that the acceleration of a taxi was almost terrifying in its hugeness. And that wembley is a Very Good Barbeloid.

Now, if only my pupils would start moving again.

Tryphena Absent

23:07 / 03.01.03

It sounds like fun to me... that's to Rothkoid not Stoatie, that sounds like not fun... working. Yeah I make sense, hopefully more tomorrow when I'm actually speaking to some of you in that thing they call reality!

Trijhaos

23:08 / 03.01.03

I just finished filling out an online application to be a mystery shopper. I really need a job of some sort. It's becoming less of a "I need a job so I can buy these cool toys" matter and more of a "I need a job so I can go to school this fall" matter.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:21 / 03.01.03

A mystery shopper? Cool. I'm gonna be an enigmatic browser.

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:22 / 03.01.03

I think the only downside of the evening - apart from forgetting my sunglasses, which I will need like a bastard today - is the whole comedown thing. Or, rather, the fact that my brain - already in a fairly perilous state - is now thinking that it might be time for a serotonin diet... today looks set to be not fun.

Particularly as I've been roped into "helping" my father at his office. Sigh.

telyn

23:28 / 03.01.03

Mystery shopper? What does that entail?

I want snow and there isn't any here

Trijhaos

23:35 / 03.01.03

From what I've read a mystery shopper goes around to restaraunts and stores and purchases something and then writes a report about the quality of the customer service and the like and then sends the report to the company they're working for. The company then sends it to the place that hired them. This way, managers and owners of businesses can figure out what they need to improve upon, who they need to can, and other things like that.

Snow? You mean that frozen white fluffy rain stuff? I haven't seen that stuff around here in years.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:35 / 03.01.03

I want snow too. We've just got rain. Lots and lots of rain. (And which poor bastard has to summarise all tonight's press coverage about the Environment Agency issuing flood warnings?)

WANT SNOW! WANT SNOW! WAAAAAAAAH!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:35 / 03.01.03

Yeah, I think a mystery shopper's kind of like the Hotel Inspector off Fawlty Towers. Only probably not as funny.

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:39 / 03.01.03

I hope it means that you'd have to dress like Señor Misterioso:

Tryphena Absent

23:39 / 03.01.03

I want to be a Mystery Shopper for Thornton's... yum.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:49 / 03.01.03

I could be a mystery pisshead for Red Stripe.

Brigade du jour

00:10 / 04.01.03

Sorry kids, but Felicia's a bit down. Knew I shouldn't have watched Schindler's List this morning.

telyn

00:27 / 04.01.03

Felicia I have some particularly good brie beside me (hurrah for midnight feasts!). If it would cheer you up I'll send you some. And an imaginary snowball for good measure.

Matthew Fluxington

00:43 / 04.01.03

Want snow? Come over to my town. We had about a foot of snow today, and we're bound to get at least another six or seven inches before tomorrow is through. You can feel free to help me shovel it, too.
