One of my  friends was arrested last night for DUI and I received a phone call early this morning, there were over 20 people in the same cell who were arrested for the same crime

 

We should be able to pay his bail so hopefully he should get out  this weekend

Walsh, it is possible to do other things than sitting in your underwear playing Empire TW and drinking fine scotch.. ;)

 

Well, sure ...technically.

On the downside of my trip to the states. So having to slowly get ready to fly back home later this week, and figure things out for the future.

 

Although my friends sister had half hysterics in the background when the 13 yr old son casually announced while talking about the zombie apocalypse that he'd have me and his dad on his survival team. When someone mentioned that might cause difficulties, he blinked and said "yeah, but we could use dad for bait." in that utterly conversational tone with no awareness that teenagers can pull off so well.

 

Edit:

Also,

Indeed. Sometimes you have to drink fine port.

Slipped on the ice on the front porch this morning. Busted my butt on the ground and I think pulled a muscle in my back. I was going to get some work done today. Not looking likely now.

Ouch GD!  Although didn't you marry a physical therapist?  

 

 

Yesterday I took my kids to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  I hate that place.  The Lost Boys is basically a documentary about what a terrible place it is.  Unfortunately my wife and kids love it, so I put on a brave face and did my best to protect them from the tendrils of darkness and despair that hide under the boardwalk.

Trying to post a link to that great line at the end of Lost Boys... link doesn't work right

@Guard Dog -- If you just paste the link, no code around it at all, the auto-forum software embeds it for you when it's posted. Although, last I knew, I think it doesn't like the secure address in YT links. Prefers http, not https. So that could be the issue this time.

.......

Today I obsessed over 7 Days to Die. I've decided I like it. For the moment.

Today I learned what it means to "goose" someone, for some reason or the other I've never bothered looking it up before, mostly because the only time I came across it was in the wheel of time books. My memory of it is that it was literally translated aswell, wich does'nt work.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Good work on not explaining it for the rest of us ignorant and lazy people. :p

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Watching The Walking Dead now.

One thing I really can't stand anymore re: AMC shows is their constant self-promotion. I'm already watching the show, please stop crowing about how awesome it is and how I should watch it, while I'm watching it.

 

This whole weekend was lazylazylazy. I can't believe it's already Sun. night.

 

Edit: omg, Better Call Saul preview. Looks hilarious. I love Saul!

Powerlifting.  Picking up and lifting more than twice my body weight feels really awesome, and it makes me feel less lazy because the whole weekend I did little more than playing computer games. 

 

And I got a killer deal on a rifle (no pun intended), had to buy it. 

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Working from home today, I applied for my UK visa for my  trip in January. It works out nicely because I'm going for a training symposium, so my work pays for the flight and accommodation,  but I'll be staying 3 days extra on holiday

 

I have my appointment with the British Embassy scheduled for next week so its looking good so far

First day back at work - working from home thanks to enfeebledness.

 

Naturally I can't concentrate and my first tranche of productive work teminated with me wondering if I should go to Games Day and cosplay a squat.

Yeah, was a bit tired and forgot to include the link. But it's when you pinch someone in the bottom. :grin:

Haha, nice! I would've thought it was a common saying. Might be more of an american thing maybe? :)

I now have an image in my head of a squat wearing a monocle, holding a swaggerstick in one hand, a glass of brandy in the other, talking with a plummy accent as he orders other squats to go frag over the bloody idjits.... Edited by Raithe

Just got three months worth of work that must be completed by years end. Guess I better get on it.

As an American who has also only heard it (from what I can remember) from the WoT books...I don't think so. It sounds like it could be British...or maybe deep South American? Not sure!
