MMMMMmmmm day time late shifting...tasty.

Groovetastic. Someday we'll get to numbering these puppies again.

..Sorry is this how it’s done? Should I have waited for old lateshift to fall off the bottom of the page? It’s not even late, but I’m utterly buzzed because I just put all the finishing touches to that thing I was doing last night. Cleaned up the ink, made the spash into a 'feature', scanned the thing, trimmed it down to a managable file size, and now... bugger, what now? Oulabelle gave me some pointers to posting images but I don’t really understand what’s what. Which is probably why I’m still spilling ink when proper artists are out in the world using photoshop and stuff.

I think I'll just get something to eat. I suddenly realise I havn't eaten since yesterday morning.

That could explain the tasty new formula lateshift thing, come to think of it

Oh, no no no, sweetie, not meant as a criticism. We lost count ages ago. Traditonally, a new lateshift gets started when the current one hits seven or eight pages, so that it doesn't get too unweildy, usually in a lull so as not to interupt a given conversation.

et tu Kegboy ? That’s what Oulabelle said! Just pretend I have the computer literacy of a dog. I type with two fingers. I’m a Luddite fool who thinks my computer is a typewriter with a television set on top.

Ah, I’ll have a go. After I’ve eaten someting. I’m still buzzed though.

And, thanks Invisible Al!

You done good Bed ol' boy! Carry on! No need to hide your face in shame here!

Time no longer exist as you once new it. Truly, this thread broadens the perspective a bit. ALL TIME AT ONCE! Dispel your illusions of night and day...right here.

Lateshift: It never ends.

So what are people up to this Sunday, I'm at work until 10pm, but what's your excuse?
 
 
Saint Keggers
17:04 / 14.12.03
Well its 2:05 pm here and Im just waiting to go to some friends place for a little LAN action. Must kill friends using WW@ weaponry!!
 
 
Papess
17:10 / 14.12.03
I am getting ready to go and sign the contract on my new place.

YAY!

May, Invisible_al, hello!

I'm getting snowed on in the season's second "blizzard". And I'm only about a third of a way done with my paper on the dead German and the dead Russian.
 
 
Saint Keggers
17:31 / 14.12.03
Considering its soo early (by lateshift standards) you'd think there'd be more people....
Oh well.
 
 
Bed Head
18:22 / 14.12.03
God, I get back, all full of spaghetti and happy again, and everyone's buggered off
 
 
Papess
18:30 / 14.12.03
Keg...it is a Sunday, after all. Remember when it was considered oddballish if one posted on the weekend? Or maybe it still is....hmmm?
 
 
Mazarine

I guess that implies one of two things: 1. People primarily post from work or 2. Some people on the board have social lives, the bastards.

-grumbles-
 
 
Bed Head
19:13 / 14.12.03
Yeah. The bastards.

Right, I can't do this image-posting thing, I'm not even going to bother anymore. I'll get someone I know who's tech-tastic to set it all up for me.

I even went to the extreme length just now of signing up to an image hosting site, and I can't even do that right. Honestly, I can sit in front of a board all night, surrounded by my brushes and pens and little scrapey things and double-sided sticky tape, and I'm happy; I try and do anything vaguely futuristic involving computers and my brain starts hurting. Yeeouch.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
19:22 / 14.12.03
I have a social life. But I've started my self-imposed exile from it recently, to do some work. Obviously, this means I've been listening to music and watching telly all day.

Bed: I'm crap at that stuff as well. What I tend to do is find someone who does know how and annoy them until they give in. But sometimes that makes me feel like a bad person.
 
 
Bed Head
19:28 / 14.12.03
Its a crying shame, you'd like it: 'shows just how damn fine things look when you ink them with a brush, maaaan

I'll sort it out tomorrow
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
19:36 / 14.12.03
I love the brush! I'm not too hot with it myself, generally.

I'm really not making myself very clear today. I put it down to me exile. All the telly and internet surfing has numbed my miiind.
 
 
Bed Head
19:39 / 14.12.03
>Jason Mewes< I'm aaaaaallll about the brush, baby!

Besides, this is a lateshift thread. You know, it's supposed to be mazy. That's why I spend so much time here, instead of the intellectually rigorous Headshop.
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
19:45 / 14.12.03
Hello all.

Have managed to finish my Christmas shopping, or at least I think I have, which is a blessed relief - God, I hate Christmas. I mean, really, what *is* the point? Can't we just have a day where instead of scattering dozens of gifts to all sorts of people, we just get ourselves somethkng absolutely kick-ass instead? I'm sure it would leave people generally in far better moods. In this case, I would have an AIBO, and would be all Christmas cheer (half price in John Lewis - DUDE!).
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
19:49 / 14.12.03
What's an AIBO?

I quite like Christmas - this year at least - and I've got most of my shopping done. I've spent an extraordinary amount for me, and I feel shockingly positive! Although, to be honest, I don't have all that many people to shop for, so it's all very pleasant. Albeit stressing.

In fact, what do I have left to get... ?!
 
 
Mazarine
19:50 / 14.12.03
I believe an AIBO is an electric dog. Hi Haus.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
19:53 / 14.12.03
Oh, now I remember why the shopping has been easier than normal. I've done practically all of it online.

Thank god for technology. It means that instead of going in to town once, fretting about everything and then buying the first thing I see and then worrying if said person will like it, I have the time to work out what to get everyone and then get it in the post! Hurrah!
 
 
Bed Head
19:58 / 14.12.03
So, apologies to everyone who’s already heard about it. I’ll try not to mention it again.
 
 
Mazarine
20:09 / 14.12.03
I still have to find a tea pot for my mother, and figure out something for my brother in law.

What's better material for a tea pot that's going to be used for serving only, ceramic, porcelein, clay, iron?
 
 
Bed Head
20:20 / 14.12.03
I don’t know I’m afraid Maz. Iron sounds great, but that’s just because I like big, heavy, metal things. Er, sometimes. Would it be entirely useless of me to say it depends on the individual teapot?

Buy your Brother-in-law a subscription to a magazine. That’s a present that can be perfectly tailored to suit both your personality and his, and it lasts all year long.
 
 
Mazarine
20:22 / 14.12.03
Ooh, that would be good, except there's so many magazines in the house already that it's pretty much a fire hazard.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
20:24 / 14.12.03
Have a big, uh... Christmas fire! Roast chesnuts.
 
 
Bed Head
20:26 / 14.12.03
Then a magazine rack. Or a bin. Or, perfect for the typical gadget-obsessed adult male, a shredder.
