How is everyone tonight? I'm great! I'm listening to the first part of Man Factory's rock opera adaptation of Street Fighter 2.

Hey, PS.

Man Factory's rock opera adaptation of Street Fighter 2.

I had to google that just to make sure you weren't getting my hopes up, and then it's only a joke.

Please, please tell me it's good!

It's too late for HTML.

It's great, but I'm mostly pleased because they, with nothing but love in their hearts, mispronounce the character names the same way I did when I was 12!

ZANGEEF!

RI-OO!

You think they'd notice if I have this on headphones during my dinner meeting tonight?

I've inadvertantly Dragon-Punched two flat-mates in the last hour.

They might notice.

MP3s of Jet Generation it is, then. That way, all punches will be up in the air.

It's a bit early for this, but what the hell...

Anybody feeling shifty?
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:23 / 11.12.07
no.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:27 / 11.12.07
maybe.

a bit.

yes.

definitly a bit.


or more.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:28 / 11.12.07
I'm shiftable. I want to get some writing done and I'm debating the merits of present wrapping.

I also think I have, more or less, narrowed down which new laptop I'd like to buy.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:35 / 11.12.07
Is it this one?
 
 
Liger Null
23:35 / 11.12.07
That laptop rocks! Is that what was in Marcellus Wallace's Briefcase?

A friend sent me a gift that I had already bought for myself. I suppose I'm going to have to put one of them on Ebay.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:40 / 11.12.07
Or you could just gift it to someone else.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:40 / 11.12.07
Give the one you bought yourself away, Liger -- better karma attached, I think.

That is an awesome laptop, Veng. I think I'm going to go with a Toshiba Satellite, though maybe if someone sells me on Macs I might reconsider...
 
 
Liger Null
23:42 / 11.12.07
Everyone I know either already has one or doesn't want one. Besides, I could use the money.
 
 
Liger Null
23:44 / 11.12.07
Come to think of it, though, it is (technically)a toy. I could put it in one of those "Toys for Tots" things.

I'm off work sick (and having a bad week in general, which I shan't bore you with here cos it's the Late Shift not the Miserable thread) and am drinking bloody marys with loads of tabasco while I watch House on DVD. I realise I should be in bed right now, but I'm still on night shift time and have been asleep most of the day.

Mind you, House is excellent.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:48 / 11.12.07
Hey Liger, Pm me your email addy so I can send you that piece of writting I had mentioned last shifthread
 
 
Liger Null
23:48 / 11.12.07
At least you're off work, Stoatie, too bad it's for being sick and not a Happy Fun Time Vacation. My condolences once again for your bad week.

Is House actually good? I see the ads all the time and worry that it's terrible, though I think Hugh Laurie can be a good actor. Obviously you like it, but what is it about it that you like?
If you don't mind sharing, that is.
 
 
Liger Null
23:55 / 11.12.07
PM is on it's way, Veng.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:55 / 11.12.07
Echoing the condolences, Stoat. And I really don't think you'd be boring anyone, you know, if you need to talk about it all.

My week's been very up and down, and altogether frustrating even if not as sad and horrible as things have been with you -- all I want to be right now is an escape artist.

00:02 / 12.12.07
Ah, cheers, guys.

House is great- people have been telling me to watch it for years, then I finally saw an episode round at Hellbunny's place the other week and it was awesome.

Partly it's the novelty of seeing Hugh Laurie as an American misanthrope, but mostly it's because he's such a great character. And the episodes are structured like old-fashioned whodunnits, which is fun too.

Anyway, off to watch another episode. Maybe back later.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:05 / 12.12.07
Enjoy.

I really wish I was more tech-savvy, because it's hard to wade through all the details in product selection. It doesn't help that all the geekboys in my life give conflicting suggestions or outright passive-aggressive ones.

Although I should add, before everyone thinks I'm JUST a doom and gloom factory these days, I did have a fucking awesome time at All Tomorrow's Parties.
 
 
Liger Null
00:07 / 12.12.07
All Tomorrow's Parties?

Are you a Time Traveler?
 
 
Tsuga
00:10 / 12.12.07
good for you. I hope you enjoy the show, as well... Maybe I'll watch it this week. It might be on tonight,
it's on now.
 
 
Liger Null
00:13 / 12.12.07
I don't have television, I'll have to put it in my Netflix queue
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:22 / 12.12.07
I wish I was a time-traveller.
 
 
Liger Null
00:32 / 12.12.07
Don't we all.

Then again, I don't know if I'd be able to deal with the enormous pressures of paradox prevention.
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:32 / 12.12.07
Not me. I'd screw things up.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:40 / 12.12.07
Enh. What's a couple toxic parallel timelines between friends?
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:42 / 12.12.07
Timmy and The Toxic Timelines.

Barb literature for kids. Vol. 1
 
 
Liger Null
01:06 / 12.12.07
That's volume 2.

Volume 1 is the Adventures of the Little People.
