Thoughts for: Wednesday 8th November 2006

Let the words flow forth like a river :: [21:31:10]
My mind isn't a very organised thing, thoughts are all over the place and not in any semblance of what anyone else could call a sensible order. As such this post is going to be a bit of everything currently working it's way around the little rollercoaster ride we call Damoland. First on the agenda we have the coolness that is my new job. It's nothing brilliant or exciting and it's only for the Christmas period but it's monies and as we all know Damo likes the monies, oh yes he does. Speaking of monies, they are in scarce supply at the moment which really sucks considering the proximity of that whole Christmas thing. I'm doing my best to buy presents and you know, retain enough money to live. If it comes down to one thing or the other I will buy presents and make with the death. By that I of course mean I will fake my own death and use the massive insurance payout to buy presents. Speaking of presents, I have one of Vicki's presents in the bag. It's shiny and will hopefully be much loved. I know what I would like to get her but I don't have the kind of spare cash I would need, nor the time to get it done, so my master idea will have to wait until another time. Have you ever noticed how you have loads and loads of profound and deep ideas when you are in the shower or bath? What is with that? It's not funny. I come to all sorts of amazing realisations and come up with incredible insights and theories while I'm in all that water but by the time I get out I have forgotten what it was. It's a subconscious thing, you know you can't write it down while you are in there so all the knowledge in the universe flows through your head safely knowing you cannot capture it upon paper or txt file. Along the same lines of thought (although they are more overlapping hexagons to be honest, not lines) I want a nice little palm top PC, nothing fancy, just enough to carry files from A to B and have somewhere to type to when I'm out and about, oh and read of course. I love my pdf's afterall. That would be sweet, just something to store my books on so I can read wherever I am and somewhere to write things. One of those little roll up USB keyboards would be a blessing too assuming it could link up, not sure many palm tops have USB ports though, will have to look into it. I would ask Wes but he's never online anymore, what with his job and all. Alternatively I could look it up, but what's the point in doing that when I have minions to do such things for me? Speaking of minions, I could do with one to rip Vicki's cd's for me. It's a long and boring job but I suppose I do have way more spare time. Going to go see Devil Wears Prada tomorrow, which will hopefully be good. Vicki is convinced I'm going to hate it, but to be honest as long as I'm with her, nothing feels quite so bad, so I will probably be able to sit through it just fine. I don't hate CSI anymore afterall. Oh the science is still a load of absolute and utter bullshit 99% of the time (anyone ever see the movie Bullshot? That's an awesome movie and I would kill for a copy of it) but I've learned to just phase that out and enjoy the programme for the work of fiction that it is. It's like wrestling, that amuses me and it's totally fictional, but then so is pretty much every other form of entertainment. It's no good saying it's no good because it's not real because the same thing applies to everything on the TV. Although I'm pretty sure if you dare say that certain soaps are fake around certain female fans you are as good as dead. I don't mean like slit throat dead either, I mean; long, slow, painfully agonising death. Probably involving salt, acid and your genitals.
I've been playing a lot of computer games lately. I have a lot of free time afterall and my job doesn't start for a bit. Adventure Quest still kicks arse. I love that game, so much in fact that I've put a link to it at the bottom of the page for all you pleb's who haven't played it yet. It's a free game, online only, runs in Flash. I'm actually a member, which only costs you a tiny bit of money. It was $5 back when I did it and that's for a lifetime membership. I've been playing this thing for about 3 years now. It's fun, it's silly and it's addictive. On the topic of addictive, I've been playing a lot more FFX again, more than anything for something to do, but also because there's so much to do in that thing you can play it pretty much indefinately. As it is, I've unlocked the awesomely powerful Penance and am now working my way towards handing him his arse on a plate. I'm not sure he has an arse, but that will just make my victory all the more satisfying. I've been playing a little bit of Dragon Quest again, still haven't managed those Dragovian trials, but I will. Definately. Especially seeing as Joff has nailed the first Dragon. I'm lagging behind damn it! I may distract him with shiny things so I can catch up. Yes, that should work.
With Christmas coming up I've been told I'm hard to buy presents for. I don't know how people can say that. I think I'm easy, then again I guess most people think they are. Someone buy me Das Keyboard? That's right I haven't forgotten about it! Not yet anyway. Which is impressive considering the way my memory works. Hell, today alone I forgot to do 2 very important things. Oh well, such is the life of me. I really should try and do something about my appalling memory. I do mean to, it's just that I forget. I remember thinking that I would never be able to live with another person though. It was a long time ago now, I just didn't think I would ever find anyone that I got on with all that well. Oh, I thought there were people I could tolerate, but to actually like living with someone? I thought that would never happen. It has though, I like it here. It's definately my home now and most of my possesions are here and any arguments myself and Vicki have are never about the house or anything in it. Yup, it's safe to say this is where I belong. Anyway, it's time for me to go. I'll post again soon though.
