Sometimes a meme comes alogn that you know you shouldn't, you really shouldn't
but you just can't help yourself and you follow through.
Then you're surprised so try something a bit different and, like, WHOA!
( No, really, like, WHOA! )

The weekend went fine.
This morning I woke up feeling more refreshed than I have in ages and I wonder whether it's due to the milky coffee (I normally eschew milk in my ocffee) I had just before going to bed last night.

sethra2000 friday night and we caught up on "Bones" and "Prison Break". Both good shows for different reasons. - Then Saturday morning went to see "Nanny McPhee" - very cool movie with neat bits for both kids and adults.
The rest of Saturday was spent whiling away and reading, I poked my nose out of my book as the sun started to go down and realised I'd missedthebookdragon's party (well not quite, but was feeling apathetic and also wanted to finish the book. - Sunday went board gaming at LibraryJan's, popped in to see angel_a who was doing better and then on to welcome jessikast to Auckland, help her unload the car and give her a some local info (like where the nearest supermarket is, etc, etc)
- Monday was board gaming at Bro and SiL's place followed by dinner with family at the place where Mum and Dad are housesitting. Also caught the news where got to see flatmates at the Jousting event.

Jan. 27th, 2006 10:34 amI hate the feeling in my tail fur when the rear dorsal thrusters haven't been cleaned properly. The acceleration differential, small as it is, is just enough to rub the fur the wrong way. Which, as any self respecting feline will tell you, is NOT ON.
Still was able to complete 5 full circuits of the habitat during my 2200 Zulu excursion. Whilst not my best ever, 6.5 circuits, I did achieve a new all time best for audial and visual complaints. By my count, and who would dare contradict me: 10 "What the F**k?"s, 6 impudent digits, 5 "What was that noise?"s, 3 "Darling, I think I heard something"s, 2 Torch beams shining in my general direction and about 12 other individual items.
The best of the outing however was the last but one exlamation, from the Habitat commander I believe. It was his emergency airlock I'd just caroomed off anyway. Lets see if I remember it accurately.
Ah yes. "I'm going to de-orbit whoever designed that bloody cats EVA suit. WITHOUT A SUIT!"
For an explanation

Jan. 25th, 2006 04:08 pmFriday is LJ Rabbit Hole Day!!! Don't forget!!!
January 27th is the birthday of Lewis Carroll, author of ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. Alice fell down a rabbit hole into a place where everything had changed and none of the rules could be counted on to apply anymore. I say, let's do the same: January 27th, 2006 should be the Second Annual LiveJournal Rabbit Hole Day. When you post on that Friday, instead of the normal daily life and work and news and politics, write about the strange new world you have found yourself in for the day, with its strange new life and work and news and politics. Are your pets talking back at you now? Has your child suddenly grown to full adulthood? Does everyone at work think you're someone else now? Did Bush step down from the White House to become a pro-circuit tap-dancer? Did Zoroastrian missionaries show up on your doorstep with literature in 3-D? Have you been placed under house arrest by bizarre insectoid women wielding clubs made of lunchmeat?
don't feel you are left out if you're don't use LJ. Make it Blog Rabbit Hole day instead

Morning at work
Jan. 24th, 2006 10:10 am
I can feel it looming, the desire, the hunger, the potentiality.The feeling that I should be somewhere else, doing something else, being someone else (?).
The commitments I've made to myself seeming more like chains than guides.
The commitments I made to others being things I'm finding I wish I had more to time to commit to.
Freedom is being able to choose, living is all about change so perhaps Living Free merely means choosing to change (or not, as long as it's a choice and not a procrastination) or is it changing what you choose.
Reading "The Speed of Dark" (Elizabeth Moon) always results in thoughts of change and choice.
It's been a while
Jan. 23rd, 2006 09:06 amand now I'm back but who knows for how long.
The weekend was good but long, not in time really, just in exhaustion.
I realise that I need to get seriously fitter to go back to the old Roleplaying lifestyle of Pizza and (was Mountain Dew) V during a full weekends roleplaying.
Still got home to get to bed early and then had wierd dreams / waking moments. My computer, when off, still makes funny patters on the ceiling.
I got to play a completely non-conformist teen in a totally confirmist society and we saved the world as we died/transcended. Safely crazy is so much fun.

Though there must be a face you keep in your head while you're writing.
I always have a face in my head; it is almost never the face of an actual actor. ... I've only ever written a character with an actor in mind once in my entire career before it was cast. Back when I wrote the movie of Buffy, I wanted the character of Merrick to be played by Ian Holm. Nobody had heard of him, and nobody had wanted him. We got Donald Sutherland instead.
Bilbo as Merrick, Merrick as Bilbo. How cool would that have been?

Dec. 16th, 2005 01:43 pmSo today has been a day of gifts.
First, I get into work to find a cap, a chocolate and a small gift wrapped box on my desk, wishing me merry christmas from teh Office Administrator (on behalf of the company that owns my company I thought). The gift was a waiters friend, you know, wine-knife, etc.
Then at lunch time I finally got around to sending off the Gifts for a couple of people I won't be able to see before Xmas.
and after I get back the CEO of the company that owns my company comes round the desks and drops off a neat Sports bag as wishes me a merry Xmas too. The bag contains a Towel (HHGTTG anyone), Sunscreen, Picnic mat, Citronella candles, Biscuits and some Xmas poppers.
I'm a wondering what'll arrive next. (Drew Barrymore perhaps)

I survived my slightly restless night and made it to the Gym this morning.
However, when I finished my shower and came to get dressed for work, I discovered that I'd forgotten an item of work clothes when I'd packed the gym bag in a sleepy haze this morning.
So here I am sitting at my desk in my Gym shorts.
Let the jokes begin!

Apologies if offends
Dec. 12th, 2005 09:13 amI had a silly thought in the shower at the gym this morning.
I'd probably only contemplate suicide too see who missed me.
Oxy-moron = me.

No meal yet
Dec. 9th, 2005 09:22 amWhen you're really hungry but your meal hasn't turned up yet, being close to a gorgeous looking and delicious smelling meal that you believe isn't for you could result in you getting all depressed and sad that your meal hasn't turned up yet.
Or it could result in you resolving to ensure that you savour and cherish your meal when it does come along.
Twas a good evening.
