LATE SHIFT!

02:09 / 21.09.06

YEah... what dont they want you to know? (cue theremin music)

02:10 / 21.09.06

I'm all scared now.

02:10 / 21.09.06

(Yoda voice) You should be. YOU should be. (End Yoda voice)

alas

22:57 / 24.09.06

Sunday evening blues. Does anyone else get them? Maybe its worse for teachers. There's always grading I'm behind on. There's stuff I need to read. Bleh.

23:02 / 24.09.06

I'm gonna really piss you off now, alas, for which I am truly sorry. But it's the last night of my shift, so I'm currently in Sunday night euphoria mode.

Never mind. NEXT Sunday night will suck.

alas

23:16 / 24.09.06

Well, actually, that does kind of remind me that "these blues too shall pass"

And i suspect you thoroughly deserve your euphoria. [grandma voice]"I feel a little less blue just thinking of you happy, Stoatie dear. (Sigh.)[/grandma voice]

petunia

23:28 / 24.09.06

Three cheers for happy stoat!

I am quite content, but much tired and i have to get up at 7 tomorrow. 7 is a STUPID time to have to wake up.

Who the fuck invented the 9-5 working day?

Bastards.

ahh well.

hi, and good night

23:39 / 24.09.06

Aww, thanks alas and .trampetunia, and goodnight to the latter!

Realistically i still have about five hours left in which I could theoretically pick a fight with my boss, but my heart's just not in it.

Had a nice afternoon, too, at the Stokey festival, where I got roped into helping TangoMango and others hit bits of metal for a friend's music project (he'd spent the summer making BIG INSTRUMENTS, so it was cool to get to play them!). Considering I wasn't even planning on going to the festival at all cos I was on night shift, it was all pretty sweet.

alas

23:39 / 24.09.06

good night, .trampet.

you still here stoats?

keggers? you up somewhere up north?

alas

23:41 / 24.09.06

cool, Stoats. (obviously my last was a cross post.)

I think Sunday evening is just made for lazy chatting. So I always feel basically deprived when I have to do anything. Particularly grading. Ah well.

23:51 / 24.09.06

Hi Alas! I must have heard you calling my name.
I have an an aunt, one cousin, and two friends who are all teachers so I know how horrible sunday nights are. Espcially nearing report card time. My sympathy.

00:02 / 25.09.06

Keggers! Hellooo!

00:04 / 25.09.06

I am bored, I thought; perhaps I shall get Shifty.

And so it was...

00:04 / 25.09.06

Hiya Stoaster!

How big were those BIG instruments?

00:05 / 25.09.06

Er, that was by way of saying "hi everybody". Sorry, I'm socially impaired right now.

00:06 / 25.09.06

HYOOOGE!

There was what looked like the inside of a piano, an enormous glockenspiel a few feet along, one of those things you make out of plastic tubing and play with tennis rackets, and lots of bits of metal to hit. Oh, and a miked-up bathtub with guitar strings stretched across it.

00:07 / 25.09.06

Hi Sekhmet!

00:08 / 25.09.06

Hi Sekhmet!

-Soats, Sounds like insane amounts of fun. Did you get pics?

00:09 / 25.09.06

Hi Stoatie.

The Big Instruments sound awesome. I think that would also be a great name for a band.

00:14 / 25.09.06

I now want to make big instruments.

00:15 / 25.09.06

Didn't, unfortunately- TangoMango usually gets photos of these kind of things, but he was one of the main musicians (I was just joining in, really) so couldn't.

00:21 / 25.09.06

SEKHMET!!!!!

How ya doin'?

00:21 / 25.09.06

When you said that, my mind pictured the keyboard scene from "BIG"

00:22 / 25.09.06

Hello also Keggers, Stoats and Alas

00:23 / 25.09.06

Hey Ligger! How's things?

00:24 / 25.09.06

Hey there, Liger, Liger, burning bright! What's up, pussycat?

... And so did I, Keggers. Stoatie dancing on a giant piano keyboard. Yes.

00:28 / 25.09.06

I now have Tom Jones singing "What's New Pussycat?" running through my head.

00:32 / 25.09.06

Terribly sorry...

00:33 / 25.09.06

I had "the Boy with a Thorn in his Side" running through my head all day.

Damn happy thread...

00:34 / 25.09.06

dont think I know that song

hehe.. Im over my download limit so I shant be checking that out tonight!

nice try though. Trying to get a song stuck in my head

00:40 / 25.09.06

I will watch that just as soon as everyone around me finishes whistling "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" for some reason which remains obscure to me as of yet.

I really need to find some normal friends.

00:41 / 25.09.06

Arrrgggg!!!! Foiled Again!!!!
