Lateshifting ALL OVER!

22:58 / 01.11.04

I am here, feeling great. Taking a few days off from "the office". Of course, solely so I can be a lateshifter.

Let's go! I know you are out there!

23:02 / 01.11.04

I'm lateshifting, oh yes.

Hello all.

I've just brushed my teeth, post Soprano's, and I'm settling in to get some thinking done for a few writing jobs I've got to get done this week. Managed seven pages earlier, which was nice. Also about to send an email to my love, and generally rest my football weary body (having played twice this weekend, I now feel as though I have broken my left foot - sure it's okay, but that's how it feels).

Sleep just doesn't seem to be big on my mind lately

23:13 / 01.11.04

It's not very late here, but I'll play along. I'm hoping this girl comes over or calls anyway.

23:15 / 01.11.04

I'll add another hand to the big team high-five.

23:20 / 01.11.04

Hi Stoats!

Benny Ball, how are ya!

Jack, I think you got it coming to you, dude!

Hi Five to Meludreen

Did I miss anyone?

B the B:

You managed seven pages ?

If this was to do with work, well then ok, fair enough. But if it'd been something to do with the writing competition, or some such, I suppose I'd feel so second-guessed that I'd almost have to head off to the off licence, even though it's only a Monday.

( I'm assuming the latter. )

23:29 / 01.11.04

I'm watching "Pimp My Ride" and wondering what they would do if I was on the show. Maybe paint flame on my sneakers and add some kind of mp3 player and wheels to them.

23:31 / 01.11.04

I really should be writing just now, but the way things are going, I'll be lucky getting seven words, never mind pages. Today has been a day for surrounding myself with distractions.

23:34 / 01.11.04

"Pimp My Ride"? What the hell is that?

I know very little about television since I have only 3 english channels to speak of. AND they are all Canadian, to boot. I made the choice ot have too much TV in my home, after I realised I actually have more intelligence than the TV itself.

23:36 / 01.11.04

God, I haven't watched TV in about three years... not since... ah, that'll be it! Not since I got a computer I could play games on.

23:39 / 01.11.04

Tele and me are having a bit of a falling out at the moment. I have no outside ariel in my palatial mews residence, so the pictures are crap and I've lost that teletext I love so much (just not the same on the net). Managed to watch Newsnight tonight, which was good, and Soprano's, but that's a whole nother thread.

Seven pages, for work. Damn, my fingers are sore!

23:41 / 01.11.04

I watch very little TV, but my recent unemployment has seen that change a little. I still don't watch much, but it's scaring me that I may get back into the habit.

As for games, today I just bought GTA and a playstation to play it on. Yes I should be writing. Yes I am unemployed. And yes, I do feel like an extrodinarily weak-willed self-loather right now.

23:43 / 01.11.04

Pimp My Ride is a show hosted by rapper X-Zibit(sp?) where they find someone with a really ugly beat up car, bring it to a car shop called West Coast Customs, and make it cool by giving a new paint job, and dropping it, and blingy rims, and tv monitors in the headrests and stuff.

23:45 / 01.11.04

Meludreen what are your stats? Like a GIJoe file or DC's who's who bio. People from Scotland are neat because they write the Invisibles and Trainspotting.

23:56 / 01.11.04

Yeah, I wrote them both.

Name: Meludreen
Age: 22
Sex: Not at the moment, no. (But thanks for asking).
Secret Power: Shhh, It's a secret.

Erm, don't really know what to tell you.
I live five minutes round the corner from the hospital that Renton gets dropped off at during his overdose.
I also walked by Grant Minestrone once.

My live is both eventful and exciting.

23:57 / 01.11.04

I know someone suggests this every couple of years, but I still like the idea of Barbelith Top Trumps.

Alex's Grandma

00:00 / 02.11.04

DesCartes, do you mean M's *vital* stats ?

I mean it's only been a couple of days, man - what about her back in the States and so on, you fickle beast ?

Hello, shifters.

Benny, is the origin of your name to do with your playing of the football? I’ve been thinking of you as being named after a videogame character. In fact, with a shock, I realise I’ve probably been visualising you all this time as a Spectrum sprite, like Monty Mole. Will amend mental image accordingly.

*Thinks: Benny = strapping footballer*

00:00 / 02.11.04

I was thinking about that the other day, but I didn't know it had been run around a bit before.

I did find the Pirates v Ninja card game thread a while back though. Some of those cards were really nice.

00:01 / 02.11.04

I also walked by Grant Minestrone once.

Didn't he invent comic books in a can?

Television is such a blasted waste of my life. I be dammed if I let the networks take that!

However, the one station that played Judge Judy, no longer shows it at the same timeslot. I am miffed.

My faveourite damn show. I love that bitch.

00:03 / 02.11.04

"Sir, don't piss on me and tell me it's raining"

Bed Head

00:03 / 02.11.04

Blimey. Oooh, Stoat, it’s funny you should say that! I was waiting until I had a nice round 12 until I started a thread. Only, I’ve got 11 Barbelith Top Trumps drawn already, and I was trying to draw *you* yesterday.

00:03 / 02.11.04

I'm out then- my Trump's a bottom.

00:04 / 02.11.04

Ah, those canned comics. Gotta love that Greg Moosetureen.

00:04 / 02.11.04

Doesn't she ROCK, Meludreen?

00:06 / 02.11.04

BH- show! show!

00:06 / 02.11.04

Jack, thank you for the explaination, BTW. I think I have seen a few moments of that show...as I was surfing at a friend's apartment.

00:08 / 02.11.04

I am with Stoatie, BH. Show us what you got!

00:10 / 02.11.04

She does, Lillith.
The whole idea of the program would offend me (if I had it in me), but she makes it all right. I think the no-nonsense approach she has, coupled with the complete farce that is the program is some sort of powerful TV alchemy.

Still, can only watch so much before it's mullet overload.

I wanna see trumps too.

00:12 / 02.11.04

Ge-et yer trumps out
Ge-et yer trumps out
Ge-et yer trumps out for the lads. And lasses.

That last bit didn't really scan, did it?

Bed Head

00:12 / 02.11.04

Gosh. Gimme..uh..2 days. I’ll finish you off, stoatie - so to speak - tonight. Oh yes I will, I’m on a mission now. And then I’ll need to figure out somewhere to host them. And then I’ll start a thread in Creation asking for captions and ratings and stuff, take advantage of the assembled wits hereabouts. Couple a’days. Larks galore. Probably.

You can spend the next couple of days trying to decide what Jack Fear's max speed is.

00:13 / 02.11.04

Oh yes. That will rock mightily like a... like a... a mightily rocking, er, thing. Yes.

00:15 / 02.11.04

Like a big rock.

On a boat in stormy weather.
