Gorth Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Start of old thread End of old thread He had the same song/station on in his car and we started bopping in time together, waving to each other. It was like out of some movie, and it was glorious. Why does that remind me of Wayne's World and Bohemian Rhapsody? Considered buying a whiskey flask so that I can always have bourbon on hand in case I need to celebrate like Chris Avellone. Wooooooo? Sitting and wondering why we haven't seen our semi-tame lizard at work for several days now. We have this Australian Water Dragon which is absolutely crazy about cheese (to the point where I can hand feed it now), showing up every now and then at lunch time outside the lunch room. I always worry that it might end up a road kill some day. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Cantousent Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Playing my regular run of New Vegas. This time I've been on hard, but next time I'm going to run very hard on hardcore and maybe use this Sawyer made combat mod. I wonder where I can it. Also, watching a rerun of Frasier. Huzzah!

LadyCrimson Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Caught up on a couple TV shows. Probably going to go to sleep early again. The start of winter tends to make me want to snuggle in bed... Also, I ate too many of these: (yummy....) “Things are as they are.

Janmanden Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Working and wondering how the hell I am going to credit anyone for the time I just spend doing practically nothing about a very urgent project I am working on.. It was so easy in the days when I was just an employer and got a fat fixed salary on a monthly basis no matter how absent, sick or efficient I was, but now I have to be .. erm .. aware of what I am doing and make invoices for the work I did.. I just want to sleep. (Signatures: disabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Overdosing on strepsils in an attempt to combat a sore throat thats been kicking in the past day or two. When every swallow has that dry, bladed sandpaper feeling and your voice drops down to the depths.. it's not the best of times to be facing a working weekend.

LadyCrimson Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Nothing. I forgot the water. This is the problem. And by "problem," I mean "fire hazard." Ah, I get it now. Noticed that Netflix has 2nd season of BBC's Sherlock (don't know how long it's actually been available, haven't checked in ages). I know what I'm doing later. “Things are as they are.

I know what I'm doing later. Watch out for the season finale. Supposedly, all the clues for what actually happens are in the episode. But so far (at least not when I last checked) no-one has successfully claimed to identify everything and identify exactly what goes on... Which means lots of theories up in the air...

WDeranged Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Any alcohol I suppose, I'm not a daily drinker but recently I got a bit hooked on Kopparberg pear cider, it's easy to drink and doesn't hit you hard, like a nice relaxing sedative. The only downside is I feel a bit dull during the day and I've put on some weight so I'm packing it in...until the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVC Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Its my second to last day of this technical conference I have been attending in Vegas. As usual its been amazing. Really interesting seminars, excellent entertainment, delicious food, beautiful women, professional staff and the hedonistic lifestyle of Vegas all make this trip yet another unforgettable experience "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Is it a full moon today? Things have been weird all over the internet for me. And no, I don't mean here. It's always weird here. Got more done this morning than I was thinking I might ... so might break and watch one of the Sherlock episodes early whilst having some lunch. “Things are as they are.

Cantousent Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 ...the hedonistic lifestyle of Vegas all make this trip yet another unforgettable experience You should try living there. :Cant's checking over his shoulder icon: I've worked on the Strip, and it's an experience for ya. I had this office in the Rio. I was only there maybe twice a week as I worked in various other places. Anyhow, in the Rio, there was a cute young ****tail waitress who would walk by the office and smile at me. She did that pretty regularly, and I never spoke to her. For all I know she was blind and it just happened her face was pointed at me every time, but it's always been a guilty pleasure to remember. I think I like the memory better than I would have if I actually struck up a conversation with her. Anyhow, I feel like hell. I need to take a nap the first chance I get. 1 Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Nepenthe Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Got back to work after defending dissertation in public and five days in London. I have a splitting headache, 627 unread emails and I'd cut my credit cards if it weren't already too late - and I never even made it to Jermyn Street. All in all, an awesome time was had. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
