I expect to see the Lateshift file on my desk in the morning

02:06 / 02.11.07

Anybody up and about?

02:15 / 02.11.07

Me. It is my other best friend's birthday tomorrow..er, today. I just got off the phone with her as she is giving me some advice to "get to know" this guy I have a crush on.

Then another part of me sighs and asks, "Why bother?"

Really, what is the point of relationships again?

02:18 / 02.11.07

You are so asking the wrong person at the wrong time. Im stuck in "You are NOT interested in her!" mode.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

02:23 / 02.11.07

Because relationships can be both fun and fascinating? If I didn't have the Accomplice, I wouldn't have anyone to drunkenly explain physics to me at 3 in the morning while I'm blathering about Superman.

02:26 / 02.11.07

Oh thats great. Throw some positive reasons at us. Sigh.

02:32 / 02.11.07

But I can have fun and fascinating while being single and uncomplicated. I have friends I can call who will explain anything to me...Vengm, for example. He is not always right, but he is always funny!

02:41 / 02.11.07

Medo is obviously very drunk. Otherwise she would have recalled that I am always both right and funny. Its amazing how time and distance warps the memories.

02:42 / 02.11.07

I think I'm getting used to periodically being reminded we (the 'we' shifting semi-frequently) are not in a relationship. Not that kind. Entirely.

I'm getting to enjoy it, actually, as it seems to put people on more comfortable ground, and I'm crap at having expectations of people in those areas.

The getting to know you, securing their attentions (and thereby being owed attention, sex, whatever) end... um... haven't we got a resident super-amorous, super-condensed-relationship-loving type to make the sell to Meddy? Three a.m. conversations may not cut it, as they are obtainable otherwise.

02:44 / 02.11.07

Don't married 'lithers lateshift?

02:45 / 02.11.07

only if their other half gives them permission.

02:56 / 02.11.07

Hellraiser does not seem to be as good a movie as I remembered.

02:59 / 02.11.07

I'm afraid it's never is, Hellraiser. That seems to be true for all of Barker's films, actually, and you walk away knowing it, but still... sometime down the line... you forget that it wasn't and watch it again.

03:01 / 02.11.07

Oh when will people make films that last the test of time?

03:03 / 02.11.07

BWAHAHA! Exactly, Venger. Exactly.

03:10 / 02.11.07

Strangely, going into it with no pretense seems to keep the film at a higher (or consistent) level. At least, I can still watch Split Second or My Dear Secretary every so often without feeling pangs of Didn't this used to be better? running through the viewing experience.

03:17 / 02.11.07

I think I've seen bits and pieces of Split Second. I have this theory that any movie will be better if they add Rutger Hauer.

I've never even heard of that second movie. I'll have to find it.

03:24 / 02.11.07

Rutger Hauer running off, as described in the film, caffeine, chocolate and anxiety. Plus Kim Cattrall. How can you go wrong, right?

The other is what happens when you try to do Bringing Up Baby with Kirk Douglas as a lazy gambling/womanizing writer and his former college roommate who never seemed to move out. And an Edmontonian secretary. And then forget what movie you're making two thirds in.

03:28 / 02.11.07

Hmm... Im starting to think thats what they were going for with Hellraiser.

03:31 / 02.11.07

I think Hellraiser had a bit more artistic pretension. And thereby falls short.

In any case, I'm going to go visit a pillow for a few hours. G'night all!

03:32 / 02.11.07

G'night DN!

01:04 / 03.11.07

I am drunking and lateshifting

iamus

01:48 / 03.11.07

I like the new name.

I have been drunkering, but I doubt I'll be lateshifting long.

I'm such a lightweight these days. I've not lasted past a couple of posts in a lateshift in years.

iamus

01:55 / 03.11.07

That's me, then.

God, see what I mean? How short is my attention span these days?

01:58 / 03.11.07

I'm trying to sober up enough to go get dinner. Then shall I lateshift (if anyone's still about).

In the meantime: thumbs up on the new name!

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

02:20 / 03.11.07

I'm less than an hour from freedom. I crave booze. Work is unbearably boring. All I have to drive me is Facebook scrabble & lateshifting.

Sup everybody.

Someone pass the smokes, please. No lighter needed, I've Mr. Neon Scorpion melting sand to make fire. Just paper and tobacco, please.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

02:24 / 03.11.07

MARTINIS! I have confirmed martini drinkage following work. I will indulge sensibly, as I must work early tomorrow morning and I threw up before work last Sunday. That was enough.

02:36 / 03.11.07

Hello Everybody! (he says, in a very Dr. Nick Riviera voice)

el d.

02:50 / 03.11.07

Arrrr! Ahoy, mateys!

Up and about, ye scalliwags!

about what?

Typical. About the path that curves to the top of the Martini glass, certainly. Like in that Hedgehog game, with that fat robot.

Martini's would be nice, if only they hadn't olives with those little red things in the middle. Did the barkeep slip a maraschino in my olive?

02:59 / 03.11.07

Veng, evader, papers, how's it keepin' with you fine folks?

don't mind my smell, the socks shall be made fresh soon.

Its a pimento

Right, ok. Thanks. I'm off to gather m'self several of those, the pimento, not the olive on the way home. As you were, humans.
