Come on then. Out with it.

― Samantha, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Feverishly trying to write test scripts for a project handover before I leave for my holidays in an hour and a half

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm just relaxing. & you?

― Gale Deslongchamps, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well besides talking to myself I'm:

-making a country CD for Anthony

-practicing tunes on the keyboard for my garage rock band

-getting ready to go catch the last half of Hank's punk rock club night

Okay, okay so I'm not really *doing* any of those things. I'm actually listening to CDs deciding what songs to put on Anthony's, looking at my keyboard and song list setting next to me and putting off brushing my hair before I go out to see Hank.

There are you happy? I'm really only wasting my time asking "what's- on-your-nightstand?" questions on ILE.

hmph

― Samantha, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am looking thru mp3s for geoff , writing notes on a paper on pencil drawings and nude studies in 20th century art ,bitching to david , considering wanking and procrastinting on typing my fms notes . that and icqing 3 different people

― anthony, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anthony wins the multi-tasking award. If only I could get my ICQ to connect at home I'd push your limits but instead I'll just play with my organ.

― Samantha, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm mostly just thinking about my friend Korin, really.

WORKING ON A REMIX... OF A SPACE ROCK BAND.

― Brian MacDonald, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've got two weeks to meet a major academic deadline (carried over from last November) and shouldn't be here at all. But hello everyone. I'm glad you sound happy, Samantha.

― Nancy Drew, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Brian got possessed by Mike there.

I have just finished watching the Biography special on George Lucas, which I most enjoyed. I am waiting to see if a friend calls -- she's feeling down and I hope I can cheer her up. :-) Otherwise, doing some laundry and answering this question.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Finishing my extremely large banana daiquiri, listening to the Super Roots 7 mp3 that just finished downloading, taking crap from girlfriend re: time spent on computer. Mmm, daiquiri.

― adam, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just popped a zit under my chin and sterilized it with an alcohol swab, thankfully it's not very visible; told friend that "I wanna fuck a Puerto Rican girl"; just listened to first half of The W then fast forwarded to "Gravel Pit" but couldn't find energy to dance and got depressed. CUrrently wishing I could implant Ned's benevolent personality into my friends and, why not, my father. They're all bastards, basically.

― Ramosi, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My essence would probably harm more than help.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

essence of Ned = Patchouli oil? no?

― chris, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm listening to pop music and plotting visits to the pub.

― Tom, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh visitS to the pub plural is it Tom? Cos all I can see is visit to the pub singular with not a word about coming out tonight to help me reacquaint myself with Mr Booze.

I am painting my nails and flicking through Metro and wondering whether to go get something to eat or to RESIST and be strong.

― Emma, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Editing and designing some booklets entitled 'Separation and home finance for lone parents', listening to Gnac's 'sevens' comp and watching the rain fall down on Kentish Town Road.

― Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes Emma visits - co-workers going to pub this lunchtime, and fortifying pre-party drink tomorrow. Booze isn't good for you you know - and even George Best's managed to give up for more than ONE month at a time.

― Tom, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

listening to Gnac's 'sevens' comp

Oh, I bought that a while ago. Boring, innit?

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Being made to watch fashion tv in my dressing gown, I'm not at work today.

― Ed, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hmmm as I clicked on this I was fiddling with my EAR (there is not much coming out), trying to do my hair in a manner where it looks reasonably OK instead of 'I watched Buffy and Adam and Joe last night instead of washing it', checking Ministers responses and passing them on for filing, discussing BIG BOTTLES OF WINE vs LITTLE ONES with co- worker Wendy, larffing at other co-worker who PULLED last night and now I have to write lots of names on envelopes. BOOO.

― Sarah, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am eating my lunch. Listening to the wind howl.

― jel, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And now I am gritting my teeth to avoid telling co-worker who I dislike to FCUK RIGHT OFF and STOP SLAMMING THINGS. Deep breathing exercises will be continued until I go for lunch. Somewhere out of the office.

― Sarah, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am eating a tuna baguette and marvelling at the fact that the pub will be open til seven in the morning at this years ATP. As if it wasn't messy enough last year when it shut at 5!

― chris, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

right now i am being very sleepy and wondering why i am not crawling right back into bed, as i called out of work (on my second to last day no less!) i am listening to "the tired sounds of stars of the lid" very loudly, but its a very quiet disc, so it's actually not so loud. i am thinking a bagel would be good, but i am too tired to get one.

― jess, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"working at home" eg listening to NAS "I am..." eating alpen and waiting for kettle to boil, *not* writing up notes on epic LoTR piece for [outlet x], *not* reading hornby best of RockCrit for FT, *not* reading BuffytVS collection of critical essays for S& S, *not* sorting thru ancient cuttings for stuff to send BarneyH at Backpages, etc etc

considering posting "Therapy: Classic or Dud" after discush w.Dr Vick last night watching the sopranos (and also various straws-in-the-wind thingZoR here), and wondering why no one has anything to contribute to my WHEN ANIMALS TRANSLATE thread — perhaps momus = korrekt after all

― mark s, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sitting in a library feeling tired and hungry and headachey.

― Graham, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh and *not* working on my BOOK *sigh* which has apparently entirely fallen off the NEW THREADS page in my head

― mark s, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was just at the pub playing Golden Tee but now I'm back at work and it's not as much fun.

― Jonnie, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

constructing lunch out of pitta breads and houmous and watercress and an avocado, drinking water (i am thirsty today). getting excited about MarkS's above-mentioned LotR epic piece, trying to ignore my boss who i think is lonely and wants someone to talk to but really can't be arsed, imagining a gin and tonic because i have decided to give up alcohol for February. well it's the shortest month innit!

― katie, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Don't do it, Katie, unless unlike me you have very supportive friends who respect and value your efforts. Grrr. 5 hours & counting till booze time.

(Also February = bad month to give up booze due to the need to get mightily pissed on Valentine's Day)

― Emma, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've just realised I have had a drink for a fortnight. Tom's mention of a "cold beer" on the office thread had me drooling, and I don't even like beer.

― Graham, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

reading a book, wondering how that sid vicious tribute gig is going in dunedin and wishing I was there. Also still fixated on the special box set eye stretching bargain, how I wish I had something other than the beautiful music collection ads to boast of!

― Menelaus Darcy, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Youve made a drink last a fortnight Graham! Such fortitude!

― Tom, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And I made a Chupa Chups lolly last 2 and a half hours without trying the other day. Ph33r me etc.

― Graham, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now i'm going back to bed.

― Graham, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(menelaus i am placing yr order later today probably i am in a last-minute bank- transfer in time for tax crunch situation at this minute: erm i still need an address tho i guess and an idea of how much it will cost to send to NZ... basic cost = £19.99, p&p w/i UK = £5.oo, so i need whatevah on top of that, i cd try and slip it into the post-bag at work but such an action might come back and bite me)

― mark s, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mark can I read the Buffy essays? Are they online?

― Sarah, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(Martin S - wot's "a line of sed"? as for y my name looks that way on the interweb, 't must be due to some software weirdness or something; this's actually how i print it in:

t\'\'t, sed is used for searching for and changing text in files. From memory if I wanted to change MARTIN to Martin throughout a file I might write something like s\MARTIN\martin\g. It gets a lot more complicated, but you'll see the pattern looks similar.
