I, for one, am not the least bit disappointed by the lack of blog posts or photos.

i am sure that the photos, etc from the Minx Tour will be thoroughly enjoyed whenever they are shared. glad to hear you're having a good time, minx!

I just got an email from Mil Milington that his new book, ' Instructions For Living Someone Else's Life ' is out but only, frustratingly, in the UK for now. I suppose that I can allow him a little bit of leeway in that since he is a Brit but I have never understood why books cannot be released on both sides of the water simultaneously. I know the cover will look different, I have come to understand that publishers are certain that nobody will buy a book knowing that some dirty Brit has wiped their grubby fingers over the same artwork but really... I'll suck it up and buy some gloves if you would just sell it to me.

Met up with the gf last night at the bar I used to work at. After a bit we went to some other places and came back in time to watch a group of drunk guys almost come to blows without the new security guy even saying boo to them.

Well you get what you pay for.

On the upside I realized that this is the first night that we have hung out that I have not been glared at by some woman I managed to piss off in the brief time I was single, called by my ex, introduced to somebody she'd hooked up with, or told that I was an asshole (by any of the above mentioned women).

Buy it from The Book Depository. Free worldwide shipping.

Awesome FP!

Can we also snipe a president from it?

Welcome to our world. And people wonder why shit gets pirated.

Flatmate M...procured some Wagyu steak. He wants me to cook it, which was the deal, fair enough. It's not Japanese, as I've just found out (sorry, Wanderer) but Darling Downs Wagyu.

Unfortunately, the dickhead's in the dieting phase. Because I told him it's not your average steak, not Angus or Hereford or Brahman, but Wagyu, a meat that's been bread for a whole different style of cuisine.

There're two schools of thought on cooking it - high heat, to sear the outside and leave the inside completely juicy, or lower heat, to perfectly melt the fat within it to distribute the flavour, and prevent it leeching out.

"Do it so the fat melts out," he says.

You're missing the point, I says. The fat's the flavour.

"But I'm on a diet."

No shit. Should've gotten something else, then. If you melt the fat out, it's gonna taste like a piece of cheap rump from the supermarket.

"Buuuuuuuuuut..."

Aaaah.

go buy a cheap cut that is the same size/shape and serve him that. Sounds like Filistine to me.

Feel free to use the dong gourd safety and health related artwork on your web site. For a better life with dong gourds.

Sitting @ work waiting for someone to give me the access I need to develop a web site. Ya know what, I don't need to sit here - I can develop it from home, and maybe the permission will come through while I'm riding. So I'm ooouuttaa here!

Lith - grab some cheap steak from the supermarket, cook that and serve to him and hang onto the Wagyu for yourself.

Nah, he snaked it - if I do that, I may get cut off from the supply.

The whole diet thing's a bitch for all concerned.

On the other hand, he has stopped nicking my foodstuffs.

(We should really go out and visit him at work one night. Grab a XXXX off the wood, and if you can't figure out where I'm talking about, shame.)

You are a web developer? Is that fun? profitable? Does it involve spiders? (Other than the kind that crawl over you for hit counts.)

I SO agree...but shouldn't the hardhat be included?

I find myself posting like Uber.
Now trying to back off from the keyboard...

belated happy birthday to noir.

Thanks for the b-day wishes, remote-

I went out to lunch, coffee and little bit of shopping with a friend, avoided people who would piss me off today-
When over to another friends house and watched her work on my new place while i played with my b-day gift-
It has lots of sharp fun ends-
One more bit of fun to add to my collection-


A tornado took out some tower someplace and the phones where dead for most of the day at work(where I was not)- They called me about nine and asked if I could come in for an hour to help out- They mentioned the word overtime so I did- I got five calls-
Showed up at the 'It'll Do' for my birthday beer and parked in front of my friends truck- I noticed this blond trying to put a key into the door-
I figured maybe she was some chick he'd brought with him but, the trouble she was having trying to get a key in the door told me no-
I asked her if that was her truck-
She told me "Yes, but I can't get in."
I looked at his license plate which says 'Daemon' on it- And asked-
"Are you sure?"
She looks at his truck, looks surprised-
"No, this isn't my truck. It just looks like mine."
I stand there and watch her walk from his green truck, with the matching topper-
To her blue truck with no topper-

This is about the point where I start laughing so hard I nearly pee my pants-

you are a bad person noir!
laughing at poor misfortunate people >
