Watercooler Sub Zero: Ice Capades

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

(shakes head sadly)

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

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?

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.

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

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

YAY for promoters contacting US about gigs, rather than the other way around!

But once you've got a certain reputation and a certain track record, it's nice when people start approaching you because you realise that in some ways, you've proved yourself.

Thanks, Emsk, I've got the Smiths stuck in my head now.

Gooblar?

(Is there more? I'll be jealous if the review is more about Gooblar than about US)

Ebony Bones are very good. Have we seen them again?

* poof *

Come back!

Aaaah, good times. We should do that again. Except I'm not talking to Jim or Jim isn't talking to me, I can't remember which way around it is every time I think I remember it changes if I talk to him, he snubs me, or if he talks to me, I think he's not talking to me so I snub him. It's all too confusing.

I have ONE THING I have to do before I leave and I just cannot bring myself to do it. THis is so stupid. I'm just transfixed by ILX carcrash action.

They are too hardworking for indie.

OTM. I am always thinking I should go see 'em again, but yeah, why this time?

I didn't need to be "perverted" into "performing" my hand-jives and hip-rotations!

ok, i am waiting for spanish trapezist's stuff to be done in washing machine then after i've taken it out i will leave the house.

I have just realised that I cannot do this ONE THING that I have been needing to do before I go, as the critical bit - what DATE it should be filtered on - has been omitted from my brief.

Ah, t minus one minute now.
