I think the term is 'hell yes!'. Most definately. I spent most of yesterday walking around the house with my eyes closed. It was a good night, though, and well worth it. Good times were had by all.

Ice cream and vodka do indeed rock when blended together I was once a co-inventor of a mint-chocolate-chip-ice cream-and-Skyy concoction, which we called "The Labyrinth", because that's what we were watching at the time!

Thing learned yesterday: the houses that we can afford in my currently-dream neighborhood are so small, that you can't fit more than 2 people inside a living room at once. And at least one of our friends is so big, that if he were to visit, I'd have to hang out in the kitchen.

Starting a Limited company in Britain is really easy ... but there is a lot to learn if you actually want to get yourself paid. (see members news for the full rant)

Did mean to say this : Ice cream and Vodka! Yarg.


Q. How do you write?
A. One word at a time.

Today I learned never to trust people from HR.

I also learned that sometimes, just sometimes, the people who really do deserve thanks and rewards for their hard work and skills actually get it. I like this company.

1. Sometimes people annoy me. Just general, every day people that I don't know.

2. I can do nothing in this town without bumping into someone who knows at least one member of my family; For example, take the man doing the tiling in my house. I picked him out of a leaflet that comes around every week with things for sale/tradesmen/events that are happening around the town in it. All it was was a first name and a mobile number. I rang, I liked the quote, liked that he would only do it in the evenings so I got him to do it. First day in my house, he looks at me with his head cocked to the side and asks me if I'm David's sister. Which I am. Then tells me he works with my other brother. Goddamnit! Then it turns out that he is the brother-in-law of a neighbour I lived beside for 20 odd years.

I then threatned him with Loretta's mom if he messed up. The look of fear on his face was priceless

Ah, see, the tiling thing sorted itself out after all !

Today I learned that falling asleep with a Rennie in your mouth is probably worse than having a dead hamster stapled to your tongue with rusty nails. And it probably tastes worse too.

Yup, the tiling is slowly being sorted...slowly...

Would that be a day old dead hamster, or the more viscious and sloppy 3 week old dead hamster? It makes a difference!

I think a 3 week-old would be a mild version. 2 month-old more like. Probably one that died by drowning in stale cod-liver oil with added garlic.

Rennie is an indigestion & heartburn tablet. Yuck. I can't stand any of them. Gaviscon is the worst. The cure is as bad as the symptom.

Antibiotics and pain pills make a smoke taste like shit. I usually love the way my cigs taste, but today I've only smoked three and I didn't finish any of them.

Also, getting strep for a birthday present sucks major ass. Getting pain killers for a late birthday present is pretty nice. For some reason I didn't have to pay for my doctor's visit this morning. That's nice as well.


I couldn't decide on just one quote... more to come.

"A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way." - Mark Twain

"Adam and Eve had many advantages but the principal one was that they escaped teething." - Mark Twain

"All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure." - Mark Twain
