Click the lower button that has a cylinder, a ball and a box. (You've got two of those, right?)

Ole Martin Halck (OleM), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, thank you! the mystery is solved!

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Time for a "Sub Sub Zero" thread, surely?

"There aint no love, there aint no use" perhaps...

M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to call it THE ALL SHOEGAZING ALL DRONEROCK NO SPORT NO REALITY TV DO NOT READ IF YOU HATE KATE WATERCOOLER OF EXTREME JOY but that would be kind of asking for it, wouldn't it?

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I have just had a thought on the way back from lunch and it has made me chuckle.

Get the extra sister and you can be the 'Sweet Mistress of Paynes'

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

heehee.

GO FOR IT K8

Kate, are we okay? I got the thread edited and i hope my apologies were accepted. Email me if there's anything else to discuss.

It's Teatime in Buttercup Land (Maaarghk C), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks for the edit, Mark. yes, we're OK. I just had some stuff pent up from previous discussions that I had to get out - not all of that was directed at you.

I should really stay off that thread, though. I find myself repeating myself too much. And the thing is, those kinds of threads are never actually going to reach the people doing the damage. Maybe including me. I don't know.

Sweet Mistress of Paynes. Quit that!

Kate's stage name could be Synthia Synthesiser

pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

But I don't have a synth! that should be Frances "Doom" Morgan's stage name. Except I enjoy calling her "Doom" too much.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Madame Synthia & Payne Sisters

pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

But then you need a stage name.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Come on! We are a band, not a Soho Revue act!

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

And so does Ed if he plays drone mandolin

pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I suppose if someone loaned Ed a dress he could call himself Manda Linn

pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:33 (seventeen years ago) link

We are a band, not a Soho Revue act!

If you were you could get FP up onstage too!

pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

STOP WITH THE BAD PUNS!!! I CANNAE TAKE IT ANY MORE!

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

(Especially as I am listening to the rough mix of Brown and Sticky right now as I type ha ha ha ha I do not want to have to tone down Marianna's orgasm at the end, it sounds GRATE)

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I have just read the most "WTF?" thing ever to come out of someone's mouth (keyboard?) on ILX and I think I had better go and do some work to take my mind off it. Argh.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeh, I saw you splutter from here. Believe me, you're not the only one to think it's all gone wrong.

Johnney B's got a system (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:57 (seventeen years ago) link

God, I'm just... argh, someone post a picture of the Hubbel Space Telescope or something. Wait, no, even that's gone horribly wrong and the Bush administration won't fix it.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

This is a picture on the sun, taken from a telescope that's orbiting round the sun really close!

"of", obviously.

Johnney B's got a system (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Hasn't the corona recently done a giant massive fuckoff surge or something? Or was I misinterpreting something on APOD?

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I too think I read that somewhere, but I might only THINK I did cos you just said it!

I just can't be bothered today. I've got this code to debug, and it's so not happening.

Johnney B's got a system (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

No, we're right. There was a massive coronal ejection last week.

I think I'm going to have some more coffee.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Aha, good work watson.

Why can I not be bothered doing anything today tho? It can't be VD, cos I really don't give a flying about that. Or maybe I do, but just don't know it.

Maybe it's the weekend's complications that have thrown me. I know that sleeping with friends is historically a bad idea, even if you think you're all liberal enough and grown up enough to be able to deal with it.

Johnney B's got a system (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:18 (seventeen years ago) link

::bashes head against desk::

You don't need ILX to tell you this.

I'm wound up because ILX is in flux, and talking about it, no matter how much you hate it, *is* incredibly more-ish.

And I'm distracted because my current work is just old dogends and bug-fixing, not anything I can sink my teeth into. Bah.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, I know, I don't need anyone to tell me this. But it's not as easy as that, is it? When the big brain stops working and the little brain gets busy . . . bah. I guess it stops life becoming dull.

ILX in flux isn't good, no. I just wrote a paragraph about the whole thign here, then deleted it when I realised that this thread is a haven from the rest of ILE, not a place to drag bits into!

Amen.

I no longer have a little brain, so it's hard to really relate... or remember? (Well, I never had a penis, but my libido has just gone.) how much trouble it causes.

I must say, I'm kind of flattered by all the messages in my OKC inbox. I mean, there were EIGHT of them! Eight men who took the time to read my profile and liked what they saw enough to drop me a line. That is actually really nice.

Except most of them live really far away. (Why are all the pointy nosed men in Wales or Scotland?) I don't trust people who don't put up photos, I think they're hiding something, which knocks out two. And the only one who I thought "hrmm, maybe" in the time between his sending the message and my reading it, he has changed his status to "in a relationship".

But still, nice that they wrote.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:31 (seventeen years ago) link

It does cause trouble it's true. Between labido and the drug of your choice, whatever that drug may be, it's a wonder anyone is civil to anyone ever.

I'll phone her tomorrow, it'll be fine.

I haven't checked my okcupid for ages.

*checks*

no messages. hurumph. But guess it's the guy's job to do the chasing anyway.

Johnney B's got a system (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I am way too picky, I suppose. But this combination of ... argh, Mark S started a thread on this on Old ILX which was much more sensible than anything I'd say. This combination of being extremely discriminating WRT some things and extremely shallow WRT others. Of having an overinflated sense of what you want in a partner combined with an inaccurate sense of who you are likely to attract.

There's no one amazing enough to make me give up all the things I *like* about being sex/relationship free.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess that's why I'm single, I'm I'm being honest. I just LIKE being single too much. However, I DO have a labido, so I end up doing silly things with inappropriate people. I guess I should just go to the local indie club and pick up students, but I don't have the self-confidence for that. Although this IS improving, it's something I've been working on this year, and I do believe it's working.

There's actually an interesting thread to be started about how you can become a little more self-confident without turning into a big-headed prick, but I don't think it would be a wise idea to start it in the current climate.

Johnney B's got a system (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

As stated on the other thread, I have just realised! I do not want a boyfriend! What I want is A WIFE. How can I get one without getting a sex change or being gay?

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Hook up with a pre-op tranny?

M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Problem is, there aren't many dirty dronerock pre-op trannies.

I mean, they tend to idolise Greta Garbo and Liza Minelli. Not Patti Smith.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

They don't?

(shakes head sadly)

M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG THAT OTHER THREAD. GOD. FUCK.

so er right, what are we doing tonight? ed, what time should we come round? shall i bring popping corn?

There's actually an interesting thread to be started about how you can become a little more self-confident without turning into a big-headed prick,

i would like one of these too right now, but i think there are a few on old-ilx. that one gr*h*m started about shyness that goes on and on and on for about a million years and actually seems to have lots of sound advice on?

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

one of these?

Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Come round whenever (although give me a chance to tidy up a little)

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

bring whatever you like.

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I have BULLY HILL WINE to compensate for all the ILX bullies.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I am going to cook things in my oven to show kate the wondrous things that can be done in one.

Ed (dali), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude, do you want to fix mine oven? You haven't even fixed my laundry making machine yet!

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG GIANT SQUID!
squideos (ho ho) here:

the second one is better. it lives 1km underwater! i would like to do that.

one of these?

dunno. think it was just called SHYNESS.

emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, videos, why to crash Kate's web browsers?

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Oooh, Kate, kitchen appliances reminds me. All joking aside, how much do you want for that food processor? I really do want to buy one, and yours seems half decent, and if you don't use it I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

I'm loving that second giant squid video, absolutely awesome.

Johnney B's got a system (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Errr... I don't know! How much do you think you should pay for a food processor?

Problem is, if I sold it to you, I'd have to buy an actual table to keep my sounddesk on.
