Hi, Mitya!

I'm feeling quite woozy now. Maybe coming in wasn't such a good idea.

Hey Mitya!

That video sure cheered Norman up.

Tee hee hee, the TSM fangirls made me a Christmas Avatar:

Kate did you get that ysi?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I have, I haven't downloaded it yet.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Ahhh, poor kate. Hope you are better soon. Don't worry - I'll think nice things to you WHILE I EAT SOME KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS! SUPER SCRUMMINESS!

Ugh, even the thought of donuts right now makes me feel slightly queasy. I can't even face my advent calendar chocolates!

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 13:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got the world's worst advent calender - everything about it is rubbish, even the chocolate. But it breaks p the day and marks the [passage of time, so it's all good.

DId you London types have a tornado earlier today? I'm sure I heard someone say something about it.

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 13:31 (seventeen years ago) link

It's bloody freezing.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 7 December 2006 13:33 (seventeen years ago) link

There was a mad storm thing earlier, which hit right as the train pulled into Blackfriars, but it was over by the time I got off the bus.

The wind has been terrible lately, though. Haven't been able to sleep nights due to the BANGBANGBANGING of the shutters on the shop next door, slamming about in the wind.

Mine's a Thorntons calendar, but half of it is white chocolate, which is a bit... what is the point?

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 13:33 (seventeen years ago) link

omg donuts! (and i will eat your white chocolate, kate)

i had a cheddar and pickle sandwich for lunch today. heavenly!

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Thursday, 7 December 2006 13:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I like white chocolate, it's good for a change, although having half of it white is a bit silly.

Am now on a massive sugar rush from the Mince Pie donut - weeeeeeeeee! Am expecting the come-down any moment now . . .

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

mmmm white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, chocolate orange.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, the come-down has arrived. Everything is in slow motion and my ability to type/think is severely hampered. I think I'm gonna have to counter this with more coffee and/or red bull.

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Get off the carrotcake, man, this is a BAD SCENE. I know of what I speak.

I'm contemplating having coffee. My stomach is still doing flip-flops over breakfast, and I think coffee would kill it, but I'm completely zoning out and losing my ability to concentrate. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Give it a go. Just have a little sip and see what you make of it - it can't hurt, or indeed get any worse by the sounds of it!

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

WHoops . . . clearly that coffee WAS too much . . .

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I rather like the idea of a mince pie doughnut.

I have just had a fresh baked konditor and cook lebenkuchen, so much better than the ordinary packer one. Squidgy christmas in a cookie.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

The coffee was a bad idea. Great bowels of fire. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

This will teach you to ever eat mushrooms again... :(

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Thursday, 7 December 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Mitya's body: Dude, it's 6pm, end of the day. Start winding down...
Mitya's brain: Dude, you're in a different time zone, we have at least three hours to go.
Mitya's body: Argh!

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I actually feel the same. I am ticking the minutes off.

― tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link

(minus the time zone part of course)

― tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm wondering if I dare eat lunch or what.

Still have no appetite, though.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Are you able to eat yoghurt? Some live yoghurt might be beneficial.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

That's not a bad idea at all.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Was it?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 20:37 (seventeen years ago) link

No, the yoghurt was a really good idea.

Still not entirely there today. I probably shouldn't have gone out last night, but oh, it was so much fun. I didn't even drink and I'm ... errr, still in a bit of pain today.

Is anyone around on a Friday, or is everyone away?

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, we're here and bewildered.

I had a bad eye 3 days ago, but couldn't find my glasses in true Velma style. So, I had to wear the contacts anyway, and got to the eye clinic yesterday.

They gave me a prescrip and advice "wear one lens at most".

Fortunately, the gogs are found, so all is a bit better. It's still amazing how disconnected you feel having slighlty impaired vision.

Followup appt Tuesday, where they say "All is well, back to the contacts"..

Or "You need lazer treatment, here it's on the NHS mate"

(Yeah, I know)

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:40 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm here. sorry i flaked on the FAP. i wanted to meet TISSP and ask him what the hell that means.

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:44 (seventeen years ago) link

AAARRGGGGHHHH!!! Having stuff go wrong with your eyes is the WORST THING EVER!!! You never realise how much you rely on them until they go wrong. It's scary.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm here till 12:00, then I'm off to bake a massive choc cake for my housemate's b'day party! (I'll take pics).

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Very. the two questions I had were

1) Did that lens I thought I'd dropped and never found actually get folded and go round the back?

2) Momus.

I think it's going to be alright now.

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm at home cooking turkeys

― Ed (dali), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Ugh, I can't even think about food.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 10:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Why is Ed always at home? (and cooking)

My boss asked me to come in to work today (planned vaca) and instead I am sitting around twiddling my thumbs. Grrr.

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Grrrr. So spend the rest of the day playing on the interweb and drinking in the office, Mitya!

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Ribs feeling not too bad today.

Saw this last night http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1746560,00.html

Some scenes apparently shot in Grimsby - any idea about this Forest Pines.

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope that's yr real email, Dr. C, coz I've just sent you a mail.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Course it's not. Is yours real, I'll send one to yours then you can reply?

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:37 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, dammit. Mine is real, send something there, and I'll forward you what I sent you to the fake one.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Am I going to get a telling off?

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't realize that there was a plagarism outcry.

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:50 (seventeen years ago) link

No, nothing like that.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 11:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I am happy today, because I had the foresight to move all my tutorials to Monday 'cause I knew I'd be hungover and want to spend the day lolling around the house.

― g000blar (g00blar), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:19 (seventeen years ago) link

That was quite bright. That's why you a teacher!

I've had yoghurt and noodles for lunch. I tried to bring lunch, but realised that the two things I had in my fridge were... 1) mushroom stroganoff and 2) rissotto - after being laid so low by a mushroom risotto I can face neither.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Mmmmm, yoghurt and noodles...together at last. Stomach feeling better?

― g000blar (g00blar), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:27 (seventeen years ago) link

No. :-8

I haven't thrown up or even felt vomitty in about 24 hours, but err... not to put too fine a point on it, there are some pretty unacceptable things happening at the other end of my digestive system now. [/TMI]

(n.b. I did not eat the yoghurt and the noodles at the same time.)

One thing I could really do with is a good night's sleep. Which I haven't had in about a week.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Ach, that's no good at all. No poptimism for you tonight, young lady.

― g000blar (g00blar), Friday, 8 December 2006 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

No. Sucks, but I'm staying in tonight. I don't want to be the one passing out on the dancefloor this time.

FWIW, I'm kinda glad I didn't go to ATP. It wouldn't be fun in this state.
