The Late Shift 14..The Goods, the Bauds and the Googly.

03:05 / 23.05.03

It's nowhere near as much fun as the Tarot reader with the suspiciously illegible Celtic Cross spread and the CGI'd bookshelf in the background.

03:05 / 23.05.03

"Our product is overrated! Go nuts an buy our sanity!"

03:08 / 23.05.03

Those arn't CGI'ed ...they're (cue spooky voice) 'Bookshelves from the netherworld...of psychic marvels!!'

03:10 / 23.05.03

Funny how the Netherworld of Psychic Marvels looks like something out of a 90's RPG, innit?

03:12 / 23.05.03

But ofcourse! Anyone who's anyone knows that the netherworld achieved psychic perfection in the marvelous 90's thanks to power inherent in the soul of Gary Gygax!!!

03:12 / 23.05.03

I could so have that cartomancer's job. Even my lousy Spanish is more comprehensible than the crap she was coming out with. Plus, I dress more magicky. A lacy beige cardigan is still a beige cardigan.

03:15 / 23.05.03

I'll see your beige cardigan and raise you a +2 blue sweater. Not only that I know buzzwords like "Fame...dreams...sex...future...love...wish..fufilment...happiness...send me your first born". That last one was the secret subliminal buzzwords

03:19 / 23.05.03

Yeah, that's about the size of it, except that for "1stborn" substitute "money". It might just be my limited grasp of the language, but I think she started fortunetelling for a 19 year old girl, then realised there was a male divorcee on the line... didn't even break her stride, man. She just kept right on!

03:24 / 23.05.03

Oh, holy CRAP! There's a music prog on now. Either I'm watching a string quintet with an accordianist or there's something in the sangria.

03:25 / 23.05.03

ah..fusion at its finest! (I ofcourse mean the sangria)

03:29 / 23.05.03

It's true. Oh, my god. There's this guy who looks about 12 pulling constipated faces over his accordion, and a string quintet who look like they're trying not to laugh. It all looks like some horrible emotional torture. I'm sure Violin Girl just gave Cello Woman an "Okay, now DROP THE PIG'S BLOOD!" look.

03:32 / 23.05.03

I'm gonna come offline now. I should at least pretend that I have a normal bodyclock. Nighty night...

goodnight!

My fun for the day...

The Return Of Rothkoid

06:20 / 23.05.03

Update: three bottles of red wine with one's parents can Fuck Shit Up. Am running late.

And still in underwear.

How very Sid James.

Why am I drunk and watching Big Brother?

sTe

23:40 / 23.05.03

Good question, I'm there & I know what your saying.

I sat it's lack of decent alternatives or plane laziness on my part, which is not a good state of affairs, still its bank holiday, Friday night drinking, and all that extra recovery time....

Tryphena Absent

23:46 / 23.05.03

Hooray, I love Big Brother, it suits my addictive personality so well.

Shrug

23:49 / 23.05.03

The launch of a new big brother always induces a certain foreboding, which annoying cipher will become a 2 month media darling this year? Still somehow it always manages to engage me.... the shame.

Tryphena Absent

00:03 / 24.05.03

You must learn to embrace the shame and make it one with yourself.

00:25 / 24.05.03

MatterA, don’t sweat. We are all embroiled in this media machine. We all pander to interesting sensationalism because we have no power to fulfil our innate drives anymore. We attempt to project our actions upon media figures because the scope of exorcising or exercising our own desires are severely limited by a culture that inhibits our capacity to create! The flux of reality TV shows us that the normal people can only gain (media) ascension through sacrifice to the media itself. Why is it that all creativity must be increasingly processed through the media?

Shrug

00:36 / 24.05.03

So what you're saying is
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Litany against Fear
right?

00:57 / 24.05.03

Well, fear will never go. Fear is a force. It can be transcended in certain situations, but never deleted. Fear is good; it is a tool, a warning sign. Fear is a primitive force. It pushes you’re boundaries. Irrational fear is ultimately destructive. But if you ride the waves, decide what is worth fearing and what is not then you can understand it! Fear is your tool of elevation.

I bet none of you lightweights are up as late as me. It's 4.06am, the birdies are singing and I ain't getting no fucking sleep tonight. It might be something to do with coming off all my pills cold turkey, but my sleeping pattern has been *so* fucked for the past few days. Maybe an all-nighter will help sort me out. Yeah, right.

02:37 / 24.05.03

A big fat wrong to you Cholister me old china. I’m up (but maybe not quite at’em) the sky is a moody blue, gravy specks higi higi. I’m surprised my inspirational speech about the nature of fear didn’t inspire more folks to add their pennies. But any hoo i'm in fine fettle and ready to take on the wibble.

that

02:53 / 24.05.03

So why are you up, P? Or did you answer that earlier in the thread? Apparently I can't be arsed to check...

02:56 / 24.05.03

Hey Folks! Its early here...11:56 pm...
I miss Buffy.

03:01 / 24.05.03

Well I've been discussing Bar management with my missis till 5. No need to worry your arse C, just happened to be one of those nights! The sky is now turning a nice shade of blue. Soon I’ll be either swimming down mother Thames naked or buying organic veg. from a farmers market in Pimlico.

that

03:02 / 24.05.03

It's 'early' here too now - 5am, for chrissakes...

The last Buffy has not yet aired on tv of the gods over here. However, I am puking sick of the whole thing already, and only watching it out of some twisted sense of loyalty. However, the news of yet another CSI franchise is mildly eeenteresting...

03:06 / 24.05.03

I dont know...I wasnt too impressed with the last CSI expansion...
David Carusso is one of the worst actors in the world. Everything he says i sdelivered deadpan. Althoug I think he would be a great Rorschach if they do a Watchmen movie.
There's also going to be a J*A*G spin-off with J.A.G version of CSI.

that

03:07 / 24.05.03

Ah...all-night conversations with a loved one. Much better than all-night conversations with oneself...

My plan for the day is to watch a lot of bad television and try and find a chest/box of some description for my magical accoutrements. Woo.

that

03:09 / 24.05.03

I fucking loathe David Caruso. I watch CSI Miami for the same reasons I read the Preludes to Dune and the fucking fucking Shadow saga by Orson Scott Card. A desire for completion.

Are you ahead of us as regards proper CSI? Do Grissom and Lady Heather ever get into a real relationship?

03:13 / 24.05.03

Um..well I just saw the season finally... I dont watch it everytime...just when I happen to catch it... I dont recall who Lady Heather is. Who is she?

that

03:14 / 24.05.03

Ah, Lady Heather is the really rather lovely dominatrix that Grissom had a one night stand with before virtually accusing her of murder. The stupid fuck...

I would put spoiler space here somewhere, but there are only like 4 people on the board who watch the show anyway, so...
