Be Excellent To Each Other

i don't get the ammonia reference, for starters it isn't a bleach.

I was clearly misled.

This is me, being right. Again.

Mrskov has just had me burn a cd from itunes so she can listen to it on our CD player.

The same cd player that has an iPhone dock!

well, why did you do it, then?

it is easier that way

That's a first. I bought a USB CD drive and a 4 port USB hub from amazon, and plugged them in and now I'm sticking Slippery When Wet into my iTunes with no issues. Awesomes!

I can't comment on how women's minds works!

Nearly finished packing. not looking forwards to getting up at 5am tomorrow however.

The same as MaliA's, but less camp.

I work on instinct and intuition to provide high level proactive descision making processes effectively in must win scenarios.

Your Zombie! playing disagrees.

"Let the wookie win".

Ha Macgyver is on tv and what looks like a very young amy farah fowler from Big bang theory is in it.

Before she, um, blossomed?

You guys & gals talk too much

Going through photos on my phone from Friday night - check out some of my fellow passengers on the way home:

haha that photos awesome.

Brilliant.

Looks like the start of Resident Evil 0.

That girl on the left has what appear to be dangerously thin legs.

In that state, I'd say that's the least of her worries.

Nah, that's just the way she's got them crossed which is what is making it look that way.

Ooh, no wonder it's a bit windy, we're on the red-yellow border of a typhoon that made landfall near Osaka a few hours ago.

Some trains are running up to fifteen minutes late! Fifteen!

Just left an unflushable beige turd in the executive bogs that we're not really supposed to use anyway.

Surely that should be in the "Yay" thread.

Well yeah, but it was a bit that bobbed.

<groans>

Put it in your handbag!

And taken it home for Mrs Z's friend's dog to eat.

"Can I have a doggy bag... but just the bag itself, please?"
"Er... certainly, sir."
*goes into toilet*
*in full view of cafe, scoops out enormous, dripping turd from the toilet*
*wraps securely in bag*
"Fido'll be hungry."

I'm not sure I fancy a cafe where the toilet has no walls.

He left the door open so people could see into the bathroom.

A general 'fleurgh' sound of exhaustion.

Just had my interview and presentation for the music library job. I really had to belt through the presentation to fit it in five minutes but it all seemed valid. They also seemed to like that I had handouts and treated it more like a proposal than entirely a 'what-we-already-do'. The interview itself seemed to go okay. I think I conveyed my big enthusiasm, despite my evident nerves. There was one question where I noticed they stopped writing, so I asked for the question again and realised I'd gone off on a tangent. I very quickly redrafted my reply and pens started scribbling again. There seemed to be a lot of writing, so that's good. I also took care with the old body language and I dressed super-smart.

So, they have today and tomorrow with further interviewing (I think I was the first as the first couple failed to turn up) and I should know either late Thursday or - most likely - sometime Friday. Regardless of outcome I'm getting a quality bottle of wine tonight for having done me best and am planning on drinking heavily also on Saturday night.

Now to try not to think about it in a futile manner.

Whatever the outcome, well done Pete!

Sounds like you did the very best you could. Fingers crossed for you.

DUNE: The Colouring Book!

REALLY. Here's a taster:

For when Paul was a toddler, this was a big deal with Duncan...



"Here are our current stock of crayons. As you can see, we have fewer crayons than we did the day before. Do remember that crayons are by far the most important colouring-in material, in the universe. Crayons."

Also, Jesus Christ that book is awesome, want. Thanks for sharing MetalAngel!



THE COOKIES MUST FLOW! (I shall say that alway with cookies from now on.)

By standing in the same room for almost the entire game, telling me not to be distracted by a female companion's vajayjay? You're the worst weirding woman ever. Did nobody notice the enormous glass-ceiled arboretum on the side of the palace when we flew in? Or me, the two thousand-odd times that I've come flying back in my Orni (orni all night long, here is my price for it) in the last few months while rallying the Fremen? Did we in fact see it, notice the mysterious room on the floor plan but just couldn't figure out where the door was until you decided to use your 'powers'?

God, I love that game. I also love how many cookies Paul has in his hand in that pic. He's gonna scarf them all! Actually, that's probably how the Baron became so flabby.

"We've combined both bloodlines to produce the Kwitsatz Haderach!"

"Hope you've managed to breed out the Harkonen genetic disposition to scarfing cookies."

"Sorry, the what now?"

I think the game Dune might be in my top five games ever. It's just so ridiculously atmospheric, even when Paul's dad says stuff like, "I'm Duke Leto Atreides. Your father." No, really dad?

Man, that was a great pub conversation we had, Metal.

He's fat because





"Here are our current stocks of hairgel. Do bear in mind that hairgel is the most heavily consumed commodity among the cast of this game. Not least of all me. Because your mother hasn't used her powers to find the air conditioner room yet, I need to keep my hair in this rigid shape and nod furiously next to the Duke to keep him cool."

People near me were talking about cancer just now:

Man 1: "It's can just happen to anyone"
Man 2: "It could be something as simple as... " <bangs arm on desk> "and you'll get cancer"
MaliA: "Don't do that, then."

Wish I could take credit for this (discussing pointless animals):

I didn't get that vacation placement I applied for. I've asked for feedback on the interview though (which they offered). I was one of four candidates for two spots. I thought it went pretty well to be honest, so it'll be interesting to see just how wrong I was.

Good luck Pete, sounds like you did your best and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I fully support your decision to drink regardless of outcome.

You'd better have had your hat on.



Waiting is the hardest part. Sounds like you did really well, fingers crossed for you.

Hey. maybe they'd already picked you, and were doing Homer Simpson-style doodles? The one on Channel 4 (where Bart is caught steeling) yesterday, he was drawing a unicycle robot barbecuing hot dogs.

Anyone want in on The Secret World Beta weekend this... well... weekend? I haz code. You want code? Message me.

I would, but the Mrs is back from her hols on Friday, so me spending all weekend on a game probably wont go down too well!

How is it though? Any good?

I prefer the international bbc website. The uk one is confusing!

Ooooh, look at me, I'm in England.

Pathetic.

You coming to London?
