Well in the holiday spirit, and it's almost Christmas, near as damnit, why not walk really fast up the corridor to the office water cooler, look at it somberly for a couple of minutes and then step back slowly, as if it's given you orders you'd rather not face.
 
 
alas
23:59 / 29.11.04
Oh, no, I'm completely virtual now, so appearances are really all that matter to me.

Welcome alas. Welcome Sean. How are you both?

We're going by Barbetime, currently at 2:54 or so.

As for butlers, don't ask. I'm still trying my hardest to manifest them. You know what they say about butlers though, you wait ages for one and then three come along at once (Along with maids, chefs, personal trainers, manicurists, phone hygenists...)

Oh, no, I'm completely virtual now, so appearances are really all that matter to me.

Arrgh! Jane! Stop this crazy thing!

A Max Headroom moment from alas there...
 
 
alas
00:05 / 30.11.04
I swear, by the way, that I hit reply only once, but then I got that screen that says "warning" and a lot of blah blah blah stuff, and when I got back here, I had put my rather inane comment up, not once, not twice but thrice!

Phone hygenist?
 
 
iamus
00:07 / 30.11.04
Somebody that comes round to clean your telephone. Unscrews the receiver, gets rid of the filth, gives it a right going over. Swear to God.
 
 
alas
00:12 / 30.11.04
What can one say to that? Blimey. Well. I think my cat has gone deaf, and additionally he's very angst-ridden lately. He's seventeen years old, and I'm worried that he's used up his quota of lives. So when I caught him pissing in my potted ficus, I hadn't the heart to squirt water at him or do anything but yell (ineffectual with deaf cat). Meanwhile, he mostly missed the pot...

sean is doing fantastic, thanks for asking.

fucking cold, but fantastic. I only left the house one time today, and that was to get the mail.

I've been getting that "warning" nonsense a lot recently, alas. obvioulsy, our posts are way too good for this server to handle.
 
 
alas
00:19 / 30.11.04
It would be nice to think they are too good, Sean, but it's always the line you want to be a kind of cool, throwaway line--the kind you'd sort of say under your breath on the edge of a party--that get repeated. Making me look distinctly uncool. Distinctly: Everybody look at ME! While I fall on my face! Like I'm drunk, actually. Which, alas, I am not.
 
 
iamus
00:20 / 30.11.04
When we first got him, my old cat pissed in my mum's pot pourri thinking it was the litter tray, bless.

I had to leave the house TWICE today! It wasn't funny!
Second time was to go try out a meditation class across the other end of the city. Didn't make it in time and couldn't find it, so went to a tea room instead and drank green tea, ate falafel and smoked apple tobacco from a hookah. Oh, and listened to live sitah music too.

So all in all, my soujourn wasn't too bad I suppose.

See you later Alex.
 
 
alas
00:29 / 30.11.04
In the meantime I did look up hot toddy recipes online and made one (sort of--lemon seems to be key, but I didn't have lemon, so I used a kind of dubious navel orange. Still, plenty of whiskey and a little hot water, not too bad... Still no butler though, mores the pity. Not even the appearance of one.

Am I going to have to close your parenthesis for you, alas? come on, you're a big boygirl. You should know better.

Okay, fine. Here it is.)

And, for those who don't know, poor roommates make great butlers. It's true.

Raw garlic and vodka. Cures everything. Cures death, probably.

I’m just going to bed, but I thought I’d throw that in on my way past. Get well soon, alas!

Forgive me.

The beer and whiskey are getting the better of me.
 
 
alas
00:50 / 30.11.04
)

Obviously this is not my night for typing. I'm on a second toddy now. If I get drunk after all these errors, can I use the "I was SO drunk" excuse, posthumously?

I think it is definitely time for bed. G'night, all.
 
 
iamus
00:54 / 30.11.04
I think I ought to do the same. It's about that time.

'Night alas. 'Night Sean. 'Night Stoatie. 'Night lurkers.

I was just about to shut down when I got preoccupied with building swearwords on fridgemagnet's fridgemagnet flash thingummy. Now I'm back here.

Hello Ke.... I mean Mr. Suite, Sir.
How goes it?

Let's all sing Meludreen a lullabye.

go to sleep, go to sleep,
go to sleep so i can rob you
when you're dreaming,
i am thieving,
so go to bed god damn it
 
 
iamus
01:44 / 30.11.04
See that contented smile on my sleeping face?

That's me, safe in the knowledge that when you turn my wallet upside down the only thing fluttering out will be a family of moths.
 
 
iamus
02:00 / 30.11.04
Right.

That's it.

Promise.

Have fun while I'm gone (but not too much or I'll read the thread tomorrow and I'll know)

Good night.
