The Late Shizzle!

01:01 / 10.05.04

I thought you had your own well-stocked cellar, man.

And Hey! to May.

01:06 / 10.05.04

It was well stocked.... then it became well drunk. Now I have two carbuoys that need to be bottled (should yield about 27-32 bottle per carbuoy. One white, the other rose) and my beer is screaming to be made.

01:14 / 10.05.04

Yeah, say hi to May.

BiP- I think it's got more to do with another guy in the office who's quite fond of his pictures of bare ladies.

01:20 / 10.05.04

If you work at a porn site can you get fired for not looking at porn on the net? I wonder these things.

01:20 / 10.05.04

Gosh. Are you mistaking me for the glamourous Bengali in Platforms, Stoatie? Does the cut of my new suit flatter me that much?

01:33 / 10.05.04

Indeed... it's just people who start with a "B", I guess...

01:43 / 10.05.04

Aww, hullo to May if she's still on the phone. Huggles, darling, miss you.

And hullo to everyone here. Miraculously, I'm not writing a paper.

Stoatie! List your work number so we can prank call your office while you're there!

03:15 / 10.05.04

Well Im off to do the whole sleep thing. G'night all! (or good day depending on your time zone)

20:06 / 12.05.04

Yay me! I have the night off!!!

BAMF!

hullo.

Is that brimstone I smell?
Hey Toks! Hows things?

20:33 / 12.05.04

Hey, guys. I'm here, drunk as a motherfucker and undergoing housing issues!

Fuck dat, what's fun?

20:38 / 12.05.04

Lol! Ah the the lateshift drinking gamne has begun!

(actually I havent had a drop since the weekend)
But my beer is brewing and should be ready soon.

Whats with the housing issues, Stoat?

20:53 / 12.05.04

Ah, myself and mono are trying to figure out ways to tell our flatmate (who is one of my best friends in the world but who is driving me mad- and, to be honest, I think I'm none too good for her mental health either) that we're NOT gonna be getting a place with her when we move soon... it's more a worry about diplomacy than housing. It'll all be cool somehow. Eventually!

Other than that, I'm in Mr Happy mode! One of my favourite people from work has just moved in round the corner, so a bunch of us newspaper-reading fuckers all went out for beers earlier (in a non "after work beer" session...) and it rocked. It reminded me why I keep actually keep going in to work- cos I work with fucking ace people.

20:57 / 12.05.04

(uncorks bottle of wine)

Yo-ho-ho, me hearties. Let us get blind steaming drunk and let the ship drift where she must. If we end the night with our ship destroyed, and us marooned beneath the stars on some unknown beach, so be it. If we sink deep, deep under the ocean and end up in the arms of some supercool mermaids, well, so be it. Those are the risks a pirate must take.

Stoatie - lets hope she doesn’t know about Barbelith, eh? Otherwise reading about it here might be a very nasty way to find out.

man, i want to be all happy and shit...
i'm still recovering from my late weekend.
started on sunday, finished late monday evening at some point.
i think.
i need to watch more films and play more computer games.

then i'll be ready to work.

watching blood thirsty movies is like research, innit? like, for violence in my own stuff, obviously.
not stabbing people or anything.

trying to figure out ways to tell our flatmate

dude, you got married, didnt you?
is that not reason enough?
can yer friend not be told 'the couple need alone time'?
or maybe you could just kill everyone concerned and no one will have to tell anyone anything.

21:05 / 12.05.04

that we're NOT gonna be getting a place with her when we move soon

Ah, yes. I remember the agonies of my first flat, where the other fellah eventually stayed with his flatmate from Hell (who, to his credit, had an encyclopaedic collection of porn) because if he didn't, he'd just... die.

Good luck, Stoats. Have you considered behaving wildly inappropriately to her in the run-in? That might help...

Gah. Just back in from work. Flywheels of brain still spinning. Need milky tea and lengthy chats with a concerned young man just out of seminary. Am having to make do with soup. Still, lovely warm soup. Also, I'm having a bit of a Transformers-related crisis.

21:07 / 12.05.04

What you need to do is get your flatmate blind stinkin drunk and once they're passed out mail them to some place evil.

21:09 / 12.05.04

What kind of Transformers related problem?? Godsake man, you cant keep something like that all bottled up! This is Transformers!!!

21:11 / 12.05.04

Keggers - mailing them someplace nice would work just as well. Probably better.

21:17 / 12.05.04

Other friends of mine have suggested that solution... only without the Transformers coolness.

Ah, fuck it. I'm drinking beer in preparation for sleeping, I don't have to go to work until Monday night... life is good.I officially quit whingeing as of this moment.

So, Keggers... when you gonna sort out getting the Mages published on paper? Cos people WOULD buy it... (well, I would, anyway...)

21:18 / 12.05.04

It has to be someplace where they can never return from. Liek a nice island...surrounded by mutated pirahnas.

21:19 / 12.05.04

ARGH! Got Transformers and housing mixed up.

This is a common theme.

This could be part of the overall problem.

(Not that I have a problem with my overalls... I look damn sexy in 'em, I'll have you know).

Me drunk. Ah well.

ONLY NICE THINGS

21:21 / 12.05.04

Yes. Somewhere warm with lots of soft furnishings. Heals? (As a place to mail flatmate, that is...)

The crisis. It occurred to me recently that Stan Bush sang of Optimus Prime as he cleaned house outside Autobot City:

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner

But....but but... surely that doesn't make him a winner at all? Especially not in a flat race. It would make him an enormous loser in a flat race. So, my tiny frazzled brain proposes, would it not make sense instead to sing, as he knock Astrotrain to the bleachers:

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a jogger

It seems ineluctable, but it also doesn't quite sum up the magic and mystery of Prime.

21:21 / 12.05.04

Well I'd like to wait until I have a decent amount of cartoons. Maybe 100 or so. The idea just came to me of picking 13 of them and making a calendar.

21:36 / 12.05.04

Ooh... a calendar'd be cool.

Haus... I only recently (in the last couple of days) heard Half Man Half Biscuit's "On Finding The Studio Banjo"... currently my favourite anything ever.

NOW.

EVERYONE.

Do I go downstairs and buy myself some chips/houmous/salad/chilis...

...or not?

21:37 / 12.05.04

Depends if you still have enough beer to go with them. If the answer is yes then go for it!

21:46 / 12.05.04

That'd be a yes then! Although I have two hours in which to do that... if I vanish in a hurry then that's where I've gone, so don't take offense...

21:48 / 12.05.04

Onion rings. YOU...MUST...BUY...ONION...RINGS!!

21:52 / 12.05.04

They don't do onion rings. Though you've now put me in a mind for them...

Actually, I'm now thinking I should go up to the 24 hour shop and buy some feta-stuffed chilis.

Hmm.
