Watercooler 0: Nothing Is A Problem For Me

White Rabbits!

We wish you a happy new month.

(and I hope it gets better quickly. I'm fed up with crap at the moment)

Hares.

Happy new month. It's my little sister's 25th birthday today. That freaks me out.

Good morning.

God, those Curtis Brothers are hottt. I had forgotten those photos. I think I shall listen to Now Here Is Nowhere first thing today, while I start the month end malarchy.

I am starting to feel much brighter. Though I lost the beautiful Edwardian chest of drawers at CB Antiques through acting too slow - someone bought it yesterday. :-(

I finished my Big Book Of Nothing today, which was very very good. And it ended with the most beautiful quote...

"We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering by lone sea-breakers
And sitting by desolate streams
World-losers and world-forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world, forever, it seems"

That nearly made me cry on the train this morning, it is so beautiful.

I used that poem ('Ode' by Arthur O'Shaughnessy) for a eurythmy performance at school - here's the next two verses for you kate:

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.

We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

GOD, I HATE SUBEDITORS!!!!

If you do not understand a contraction, then ASK. Do not guess.

"Mog-speed" meaning "a cross between Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor" has been changed to "Mogadon-speed" which means nothing at all. WTF?

lol

Is that a contraction of Loop and Laibach?

In what universe does mog-speed make any more or less sense than mogadon-speed?

I have to say, that was my first thought.

(Sorry for type casting, but I'm guessing that most of Plan B's readers would know both Mogwai and Godspeed... and be able to figure that out.* Guess I guessed wrong.)

*If you are not a Plan B reader, you are not expected to know this.

Anyway, the point being, if it's unclear, fucking ask me, don't just make something up. Who the fuck are Mogadon anyway?

Calm down Kate, take a mogadon :-P

Oh noes, I am too stupid to read Plan B (I still know who Mogwai and GYBE are)

Is there a new plan b due out? I usually get an email telling me there is so I can order.
Wh Smiths still haven't got The Wire in. They insist it's just late and they will get it in.
Anyone seen it about elsewhere?

ilx is still po-ul I see

A quick google (it's a marvellous invention, google), shows Plan B will be out the first Monday of the month. Which is next week.

xpost po-fu, obvs.

Ailsa, why are you always so *nasty*? It's beginning to get me quite down, the way you're always so specifically unpleasant to me.

I don't think I'm going to post to this board any more.

It's kind of worse than not having any ILX at all. :-(

Er, what? I'm unspecifically unpleasant to everyone from time to time :-) Where exactly am I being unpleasant to you?

You said it's OK not to get what you meant by Mog-Speed if you aren't a Plan B reader as you wouldn't be expected to know who Mogwai and GYBE are and that people who read Plan B who know who they are would get what you were talking about; I suggested that I know who they both are but still would have no clue what you're on about, therefore I now believe myself to be stupider than yr average Plan B reader.

There's a real sub on here now. We can ask him!

I want to hear some mogadon-speed.

Or moog-speed.

I can confirm that ailsa is occasionally unpleasant to people other than kate

Oh fuck off you.

:-)

Typcial sub's answer: Everybody's wrong! Mog-speed is utterly confusing -- although it might not have been in context, though I'd be surprised, hence po-fu jab -- and the sub shouldn't have changed it to his best guess at what it did mean.

Pls don't leave Kate!

We won't leave Kate!

revived. yeesh.

HI DERE.

Morning, people. I am cheery, after a rather nice phone call last night, just sitting for a couple of hours chatting away to someone I don't know well enough.

Pocket Bikes? You'd need some serious HammerPants to fit a 49cc engine in your pocket.

Ooh, I hadn't noticed we were being spammed.

Man oh man, why is ILX down today of all days? I might have to do some work. Bah. Though I can't because our network is down! Argh!

I am happy today, though. It is Friday. It is payday and I HAVE BOUGHT NEW BOOTS!!! They are not quite as exciting as the Boots of Sex - these are more like every day office boots. Brown chelsea boots with buckles on. Oh yes.

ILX being down is only a small part of NOTHING FCKING WORKING RIGHT AT ALL TODAY. Ahem.

The entire interweb is down, and now I can't get into my database again.

However, I have to have my employment contract meeting today. And I'm going to cross all sorts of things out and make sure I get my flexitime put in.

And Gardening Leave. I want to know what I have to do to get that, it's awesome.

Finally! I got to a good part in The Mill On The Floss. Only took 2/3 of the novel.

I'm going to see Lenny Henry at lunchtime. Hey, it's cheap and very close (across the road).

Get him to say "Katanga my friends!"

OK, I just had my meeting and had to get them to put the Flexitime IN MY CONTRACT so no one can change it in the future because right now it's only ever been an oral agreement.

They may not be able to back date my pension, though. Bah.

Ah, I have finally figured out a way to properly eliminate bad B's and P's in Cubase, hurrah. (I should really make a pop screen.) T's though, are a problem, especially if you're dealing with sibillant Home Counties girls.

It's the time of the season for boo-oots!

It is a small consolation for not having either a record contract or a pointy nosed guitarist.

I think it is time for some lugubrious art:

http://www.sutropark.com/pix/reni-sebastian.jpg

I am wanting to paint again. But when on earth would I find the time?

(Or the nekkid boys to pose for me?)

I want a pair of Ugg boots, but they're so expensive :(

Kate just wants to paint a naked Benjamin Curtis, admit it!

You're a couple of crushes behind the time, Kerr, but...

Doesn't have to be naked, either. I like the challenging folds of soft clothing.

God, I'm turning into the female equivalent of one of those old pervs who take photos of young girls they can never hope to pull. Sigh.

Clark's boot sale, CJ! OK, not Ugg, but I was happily surprised.

Ooh! I wonder if the Clark's outlet store at Bicester Village has an EVEN CHEAPER THAN THEIR SHOPS sale!!! I must go .....

Is that what "lugubrious" means?

Well maybe you can get someone to ask PWB to pose naked for you and you can slip him a viagra...
