What you did today
If you ask me inappropriate drunkenness sounds like more fun than prescience. I suffered insomnia all night due to a bad back, and had to wake at 0600 this morning to be off for more training. My one consoslation si that I should be able to get out of phys. Did I mention how much I hate phys?

I've got this weird feeling that theslug is actually going to head Exxon or something soon.

For one dizzying moment there I thought I had been outed. I love you. Never leave.

I hadn't considered simply dragging it into a corner and ignoring it. But even so... I don't have auto-update. But I understand the real importance of updating regularly. I just want o be able to update when I have some spare time, like making coffeee, but not have to reboot at the same time.

I really liked 'Going Postal'. Very much back on form for my money.

I think the point _may_ be that we have a shooting spree every two years, whereas the USA sees tens of thousands of one on one murders.

Magic Potions
I had just been wondering what life would be like if there were magic potions. After some moments of reflection I stood, went to the kitchen, and poured myself a glass of beer.

What you did today
More likely to be an old five pound note lodged in your medulla like a wad of kleenex behind the tumble-dryer. I spent the entire day doing sod all. I hate myself. I should have been out shopping.

I'm not sure that's true. You want everyone who's falling over drunk to be armed?

I think I could cautiously recommend you just plow into the first you can lay hands on, Tigranes. Guards Guards is good. I think my only objection was when he got too carried away with the good guys always winning effortlessly. But he got over that in recent years.

A hit. A very palpable hit.

Sorry for being unclear, taks. I entirely accept that I may have to shut down for an update to work. What i don't accept is that I should have to download the update, install it and then have only the following options 1. restart immediately 2. indicate that I want to restart later then be asked again in FIVE MINUTES if I would like to restart now. Again and again. 3. [missing third option] restart when it is convenient for me and not be constantly interrupted while I'm trying to work.

I don't think they're all great. He went through a definite patch of marking time.

Aram is right, but notice that this was a lady who had been TRAINED and knew how to handle a firearm. If the whole congregation had been armed like as not they'd have shot more of their own than he would've. Sorry, I ought've let you take that point.

Christmas Presents
Strangely, Sir Alec Guinness was inspired throughout his career by the same goal. Sluggo, you should write down the thing your giftees are interested in, then think accordingly. My family like homemade stuff and art more than bought gifts. Have you thought about something like that?

That really REALLY sucks. Why do all good artistic types die young?

You know if i hadn't started this torrent of bad taste I'd be totally trying to rein it in, right now. Nuts.

If you and I agree isn't that like crossing the streams?
