Lovely night, honeybunny - if a little weird and incongruous (more later). Moz was superb (up close and personal!!) and aftermath most pleasant...

Damn you, moz-seers. If only his solo shows here come through; then I can avoid moshpit fuckheadedry in order to enjoy.

I missed Kiss Me Deadly? FUCK!!

Would you believe I was sitting there last night thinking "Boy, I really feel like watching a good noir crime movie tonight"? FUCK!

Back again. Any of you sweet children around?

I am; again. About to start on this programming assignment. I don't want to spend 4 hours on it the day before it's due like I did last time.
 
 
Seth
21:54 / 18.09.02
What do you have to program?

It was a little application that lets you calculate the cost of a car rental. It'd then take the total and add it to a running total. It wasn't a difficult assignment, but because of some simple mistakes , I made it harder for myself.

You sound like someone who may be able to help me with my power adaptor problems.

I checked the thread andI don't know all that much about voltage and electricty. About all I know is if you plug something in and all the appliances in the house go dead, you've just done a very bad thing.

Present, but possibly not for long again. Does it only run and charge off the mains, exp?

You know, I once worked the late shift at Target. 10:00pm to 6:00am. Everyone there was nuts, especially Bill the Vet. Here's our first conversation:

Bill: So, you're nineteen, eh?

Me: Yup.

Bill: Working late at Target? Not a bad gig.

Me: Nope.

Bill: Guess where I was when I was nineteen.

Me: Where were you when you were nineteen?

Bill: Vietnam.

Me: .....so how'd that go for you?

I couldn't work in the plastics and chemicals department again. I just couldn't.

Present, but probably just passing through. I'm supposed to be designing my website tonight, but I'll probably end up reading either Dorothy L. Sayers or New X-Men.

What time is it by you, Rothkoid? Is it Thursday?
 
 
Trijhaos
23:47 / 18.09.02
What language are you using, Trijhaos?

Visual Basic.Net (All hail microsoft!). Thankfully it has some things in common in VB6 so I'm somewhat comfortable with the environment.

Target huh? I've found that most of the people working at the local Target are a bit inept and somewhat unfriendly. No cheerful "Hi! How ya doin'!", I just get this dead-eyed stare, they look like they just had all the joy sucked out of life. Kind of depressing.

23:59 / 18.09.02
Strange. I hit my posting limit nearly two hours ago, but I'm now replenished. Not had that happen before.

You'll find this in many department stores. At Target, you have to call customers "guests". And you have to carry a two-way radio, so you can never be alone. Besides, I worked at night, and if you came in at 3 am and came upon us working, a dead-eyed stare is what you'd have wished you'd gotten.

Isn't there a big-ass Target in Clarksville? My pal Danforth told me tales of a two story target with an excellent security force.

Retail will make a soulless husk out of anyone.

Was supposed to go see Princess Mononoke on the big screen but found out too late that the theatre only shows double bills. I'm actually glad for it, because now I get to recharge after a crazy week. 50 cent copies of Muktuk Wolfsbreath, Heartthrobs,Black Jack and the Green Team make life so much better. It's been awhile since I've posted in teh comics forum. I should give it a go.

Nope, we just have a normal sized Target store with what I suppose is regular security.

01:03 / 19.09.02
Strange thing to comment on...I mean, does anybody else here hold strong views on the quality of security in your local Old Navy? Except possibly shoplifters. And shoplifting clothes in America seems singularly pointless...

shoplifting is a fine art, and such artists should be protected from those that which to hinder their talents!

target features more kitschy (where the hell does the "s" go?) colors for your rowhome. in bawlmer, hon, we like the stuff (see any john waters film for proof)

Target also has nifty baby products designed by Phillipe Starck. And a stapler that he designed too!

Now where did I put that baby?

Does Old Navy actually exist anymore? I thought they shut them all down.
 
 
moriarty
01:35 / 19.09.02
Old Navy has made it's way into Canada, so I think it's still going strong.

Shoplifters are nothing without the adversarial challenge of mall security.

Sorry, P. Yeah, it's Thursday today. Which means it's Speak Like A Pirate Day, ye scurvy dogs.

Or something like that.

Just boggling at amount of stuff that's yet to be done in the leadup to christmas. Dear christ. Terrifying.

Well, I've been working on my tarot cards...calling around anyone I know who may have sunflowers (for the Sun card). Trying to get intouch with some old friends from college to see if they'd pose for the cards. Working on a 'secret project' that's vaguely barb related. Also trying to plan on how to re-arange my bedroom so I can fit my 2 drawing tables in it.
