What you did today

[Tigranes]

It's intended to cause epileptic seizures, not merely nausea, dammit! I had hoped to take out one moderator or two with it, as part of my revenge. But now the cat's out of the bag...

 

Your avatar killed my mother, you bastard.

 

Gonna have to decide on my masters topic soon. I want to do something with a hideous and unique new genre of TV in Korea, but gonna be sort of hard to research it from New Zealand. It's like a crazy blend of western reality TV, traditional Asian 'game shows' and hyper-internetised celebrity culture. Plus a fetishism for subtitles and excessive editing.

been chatting to my mother on msn

 

she's getting some time off and coming down to visit me next week for my birthday

no idea what the hell we're gonna do - i'll probably just take her out for lunch or something in town

 

oh, and she wants to meet my girlfriend - which is worrying

 

Yeah, I mean, what the hell is there to discuss with a sheep?

Recently several of the 20 somethings in my area were grumbling because a radio station (KWOD 106.5) was reprogrammed totally with 0 notice. Instead of being a hard rock station, it is now a 90's station.

 

90's station...

 

now I really feel old when they put up a station that plays music that I grew up to (and MC Hammer with Alan's favorite)

[Walsingham]

90s station. Damnit.

[Syraxis]

NWN 1 toolset

 

Throwing together a rough crude "demo" module, learning some scripts and getting used to the way of doing things. Considering releasing my own single player module as a project when I'm off from work to help counter summer boredom until vacation.

 

Most my friends moved away out of state FFFFFFUUUUU, others are just losers who don't work or go to school.

Fair warning Taks because I like you and think your a cool cat but every single person I've known since elementary school that had joined the scouts ended up not being awesome. One of my "friends" tried to get me to join, went to one meeting, and I thank the almighty cat lord that I didn't stay. It just does something to a child's brain, enforcing teamwork and friendship and responsibility in a safe and sheltered environment that makes them weak and distorts their mind to reality. These types of things your kid obviously needs to learn but they need to be introduced erratically, offer some sort of jeopardy, and for god sakes it needs to demoralize and strip them of any self esteem they have before it's too late. They need to get used to life taking a dump on them or else they are going to think life's all fairy tails and squirrels when in fact life is just a series of depressing and painful events with scattered moments of near contentment when your feeding your fix of online pornography.

um, thanks for the kind words, but i was a cub scout, webelo, and boy scout. i quit not long after becoming a boy scout. interestingly, i can no longer even volunteer since i cannot claim reverence to a higher power as is required of members and adult volunteers. john doesn't know what that means, so he gets to ride it out till he understands.

 

for the most part, it is a social club for kids. most of john's kindergarten friends are going to be in his pack, and he does not otherwise have any in our neighborhood (there are a few his age, but for various reasons, he doesn't associate with them). he is good friends with the two kids in the family we normally camp/ski with (one is 17, his babysitter, and the other is 9), but, obviously, they are older and he needs kids his age.

 

in general, the scouts like to camp. that's our summer gig. not sure if they ski in the winter. that's our winter gig. john will be doing double blacks within two seasons and he is learning all the outdoor stuff from our busy summer camping schedule, too. i'm guessing he'll tire of the scouts at some point and stop attending just as i did 30 years ago.

"john doesn't know what that means, so he gets to ride it out till he understands."

 

Is this a predetermined position on your part, or are you open to his continuing to stay a member if he decides that he has reverence to a higher power. Just curious.

[Walsingham]

I have a sore throat. It's not enough to make me take the day off, but it's ruining my concentration.

[Shryke]

just had noms - now heading off to party

[Walsingham]

My mum is very bad. Cancer in her lungs is making fluid at a rate of knots. I tried to convince her to sell it as Chinese herbal medicine, but she just made a sort of wailing noise.

[Blarghagh]

Not sure how to react to that; half of that made me wince and the other half was funny as heck.

EDIT: Before I sound too pessimistic, I think I finally managed to kill the two WMD grade verrucas on my foot today. I had to invest in a surgical scalpel to do it, but by god it seems to be done.

Walsingham with a scalpel... psychiatry?... Uh huh
