It feels like the last day of school used to feel. Maybe that is because it is a more formal office than i am used to. Feels a bit like school anyway, only difference is i get paid here.

Read an article in the Metro this morning. I have been religiously avoiding it at the moment because other than one or two quirky stories the rest have all been about murder and violence and the 24 hour pub rule. Blah not happy morning reading.  But today even though it is in a depressing article i read something that i thought was wrong "When Mansha's flat was raided police found a blank firing gun converted to shoot live rounds as well as DVDs containing anti western propoganda......" Does my grammer suck that badly or does it sound like the gun was converted to fire DVD's !!?

The tea spoon article was kinda cute =)

!! - MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR - !!

* icon not a actual depiction of mood, i just though it was cool.

Last night was a great, Tootsies on the riverbank was a great venue (Many thanks to Pinkthulhu for organizing) and home of the Gourmet Burger which is i can say one of the best burgers i have ever had. Not to mention HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  you can barely pick the thing up =)

Last couple of days in the office YAY can't wait to get out of here for awhile.

Damn the FBI and there cunning staff. They have caught up with me!! My research into world domination has been taking me to some illegal websites, as dictated by the Feds and they have been MONITORING me (the bastards). How clever they are, to catch me out they have sent me an email from @fbi.gov with a list of incriminating question that i am to answer immediately. Obviously they believe i will think it spam and reply to the questions. =)

Really how stupid do this spammers think we are or maybe it really was the FBI. Oh well free board and lodging for 20 years (Sing Sing here we come)

Turalyon realm again would not load my character list last night so i was forced to create a Shaman on another server. I think i shall enjoy playing Falspeare, shamans look cool. Even though i have not got much in the way of levels.  I like the multitask type characters. Did play my hunter for awhile the other night, not all that impressed, but we shall see.

Yeah mom arrives to a chilly London tomorrow night, then me to SA =(. Then Scotland for Christmas should be nice and cold. They are predicting snow for this weekend and that's in London. Big woolly jumpers required all round.

Current Mood: anxious

This morning i was greeted with a white world. Everything was covered in a thin layer of frost. I could make some comment about fairy winter wonderlands but i will refrain i think. Everyone was scrapping the crap of there cars so i don't think wonderland was on their minds. The cars did look like some sort of sugar sweets though. 'Cept the ones with bird poop on them. They kinda looked like sweets that have been dropped in the dirt. You know when that happen as kids and especially if it was the last one and there where no niggle some adults around. You would think too yourself "I can clean that it's not that bad, just a little crunchy". That is kinda how i feel about life at the moment. Is it worth the crunchy bits or should i just go get another bag of sweets.

- Brainless tired musings of the mind.

We played munchkin Bites last night which was really great fun. We probably didn't shuffle the deck all to well and the result was a monster fest.   Followed by a trap fest.  We managed to all get to very similar levels and me being on level 9 and unable to win with the 3 level ups i pick up, decided to get everyone on level 9 to make things interesting. I think if memory serves bigHair one the evening with a really cool game mechanic (which i not going into right now).

Relatively early night for a game night home before 23h30 and in bed by midnight not bad.  Tonight another pie and maybe some veggies then to Turalyon maybe or bed or Harry Potter.

Have a good weekend everyone and if you can't drink more.

Current Mood: indescribable

Little to report at the moment. Bean spending some time on WoW, but nothing really exciting other than to say if they warn about an elite quest believe them. Some construct beat the bajeebers out of me and i was trying to help it.

Karma or fate or some other demon in the works seems to have conspired against me these past few days. The house that i am working on has been deemed to big for the aesthetics committee in Franschhoek and as a result we have to do some major trimming. This wouldn't normally not be a problem but i have two weeks too complete before the team heads of to SA for a week and a half.

Which brings me to the other karmic botch (although i do get to see friends) I am now on said team. Which everyone goes "hey cool you get to go home for free" yes all true, however my Mom is making a trip to London to spend Xmas with us. At least she is here for a month so it won't be too bad. Still on target for four days in Scotland over Xmas weekend. Going to visit the Rosslyn chapel (the one from Da Vinci code). Should be good if not bloody cold.

Hopefully more exciting news to follow.

There seem to be more dangers to online gaming than just your social life. "Snowly" (her online persona) passed away last month after a three day marathon session on World of Warcraft. Players on the server gathered at a in game cathedral and gave tribute to her by kneeling and bowing their heads an impressive boost for human relations if you ask me as they probably have never met Snowly in there lives before. Asia is planning new regulations to try and curb this sort of thing as this is not the first player to pass away as a result of fatigue, exhaustion and starvation. Experts are saying that online gaming can be as addictive as drugs.

A warning to all you online jockeys: eat, rest and enjoy the game its not supposed to be that serious.

Sympathies and condolences to family and friends of Snowly.
