Felheart horns.

My lock has them.

I lewt teh hat!

For those of you that don't get the reference, check out Flintlocke. WoW players only, really.

More meds...

Currently on arthritis tablets. Go figure. Not that I'm arthritic. Not yet, anyway. According to my schoolteachers I would have been by thirty, but that just goes to show schoolteachers dont know everything. All suppositions seemed to have been made on the fact I used to crack my knuckles. Oh well. Anyway, to the point! Pleurisy hurts. Seems to be something to do with a pleuritic membrane between the lungs and the chest cavity wall thinning, or breaking. Makes breathing hurt, but given the choice between breathing and not, I'll take the painful option, cheers.

Anyhow, side effects suck.

Later.

Topic

No, I'm not trying to be clever by giving this entry a title of Topic. I'm referring to the chocolate bar I've just eaten. The ad jingle used to ask "What has a hazelnut in every bite?" To which we, as collective schoolkids, would only ever answer "Squirrel shit!". Oh, the wit.

Still, it was nice enough, even from the overpriced canteen I'm forced to purchase sustenance from.

Borgeois Origami

Now there's a misleading title. Anyhow, I have to wonder how, or if, Qualcomm target their ad software for their mail software. Usually there's an amazon link that points to a book I may, if terminally bored, end up reading one day. Sometimes, there's even an intersting looking link. Rarely, I'll click through, to see what it is.

Todays literary masterpiece was "The Art of Napkin Folding". Someone's actually written a book on it. Now, I assume there's a market for such literature. But, even so, we're talking the frayed edge of the fringe. Purely for reference, I'm a consultant for internet security, pretty hardcore pc gamer, father, husband and generally a pedantic, sarcastic git. Not necessarily in that order. I don't see myself buying napkins, never mind being that interested in the multitude of ways of folding them.

Don't take this the wrong way, I bear no malice toward the authors in any way, in fact I applaud their efforts. They certainly have a dedication to a cause that I couldn't muster. Well, not for that cause anyway, more on that in a later post tho. But still, someone should be thinking about precisely how many clicks per impression t hey're going to be getting from that corner adspace. I suppose the innate curiousity of the average human will win over and they have to take a look. But that's a biut of a gamble really. Not that I know a damn thing about marketing, I just pretend to when I have to chat with our marketing team :)

Hmm, no more for now, better get some work done. Later.

So.. nice weather we're having...

Damn, this is the UK. Knock it off with the heat. We're used to rain. Cold rain. We like it, it makes tea that much more appealing.

Plus, people tend to not skive off work to go out in the rain. It's just not done. I'd probably be less jaded towards the current clement weather if our office aircon had anything resembling some form of control. It appears (through experience, I've never seen how it's actually monitored) that it has two settings: "Brass Monkey" or "Surface of the Sun". Usually applied in exactly the opposite situation you'd appreciate. All winter I was sat in the office wearing a coat. Now, well, working naked would be an interesting option, but there are some people in the office who would break my concentration, and some who would put me off my lunch, were I to see them modelling their birthday suits, so to speak.

And, I suppose, it would be somewhat difficult to tear a strip off of someone when you're both stood there, erm, hanging in the wind so to speak. I'd look up some references, but seriously, putting the word "naked" or "nude" or even "nudist" into a search engine probably wont really return the results I'd be aiming for. And may require some further study. But not through the office content filter :D

Anyhow, best get on with some work. And now I need to stop thinking about naked people.

<3 you all

Blood and pain, lol

Lost a poxy ball from my tongue stud, so took it out while the Mrs went and grabbed me a new bar from the piercers. Three hours, the bar was out. Poxy piercing started healing. Still, broke through it. Three hours though? Seriously, nobody heals that fast. Wierd.

Diabetes Mellitus

Kid had another hypoglycaemic seizure a few days back. Hot weather is playin merry hell with his insulin intake. Seizure, ambulance, hospital, home. At least we got the neighbours woken up with the pretty flashing blue lights. All well again now, it seems. We'll see.

Work-shy

There are times when I feel it necessary to abuse the firewall, and disable people's internet access. Generally, its just to pick a random network segment, chop it, and see who complains the fastest. Generally, they'll be the people browsing shite and doing bugger all work. Myspace and Youtube, heh.
