I had a very strange dream last night which had something to do with me developing some kind of supernatural power which allow me to read ancient and undecipherable languages and translate them into modern English. To activate the power though I had to squint at a round metal disc in the centre of one side of a pyramid-shaped object. The unknown script had to...

Tsk, that's another week of my life dribbled away. Still haven't won the lottery, goddamit! 
Thankfully I finally handed the game over so maybe they'll finally pay me. Anyone know anything about setting up dollar accounts, as the exchange rate is now arse I may have to sit on it a while in any case.
More writing chores to get of the way this week,...

well in minnesota we don't have the beautiful ocean to go play at.
so what you do is you go down this river in a tube for about 6 hours and get very drunk and party.
and it sounds kinda stupid. i know when i moved here i thought it would be. but it is really fun to go and do it.

now im making chef boyardee. mmmm.... disgusting canned ravioli.....Blegh. Ideally I should find something interesting to say. Unfortunately things are fairly tawdry, and except for work during the day, and sorting the board game over many evenings, not a lot has actually been happening. Apart from the usual daydreaming/fantasising. And wishing that I had far more sleep.
Saturday was extremely cool though. Firstly I got my attire sorted for my friend's wedding in...

Vampire Wyne - your ordinary red wine but in a black bottle and with that printed on a faded label; seeing as we happened to be passing through a graveyard at the time and being in New Orleans we couldn't think what would fit the picture better.
Incidentally, on that recommendation I may well go see Spiderman2 myself.

The puppy is very well behaved he goes to puppy class once a week and hes doing really well, I've had him nearly a year now I got him from a mastiff rescue centre 
. He had been in kennals for five months and he was only nine months old when I got him. He was full of scars and some were still healing when I picked him up, the person who had him originally already had a four year old rottwielerwhich took a dislike to him and savaged him . He is such a nice friendly dog considering what hes been through, now hes spoilt rotten
The sitesirenphotos is Daves idea (the photographer) I just help him out by modeling for him. I started modeling for his watercolours originally but he seroiusly damaged his elbow and he couldn't paint, so he decided to try photograhpy. I love what he does with the photos but I think I maybe biased

Good to meet you tonight x
xHunting in space is never easy.
Dirtside its easy to find a town large enough to cover your movements. More shadows you can count and plenty of spaces to hide. Whod miss one more dropout from the urban sprawl, their trail easily obscured by the detritus of the thoughtless millions that dwell in every direction? You can never go hungry in the city, as long...

OK, that's a teaser if I ever heard one!
Yeah, I do a little work in this business they call show.
All our stuff involves some kind of creature element as we're basically a vanity company for an effects shop. Have you written any screenplays?
I will always love the Rodenberry, but like Lucas, he needs other people playing in his sandbox to make his lofty ideas work. The first couple seasons of next gen are proof. He didn't want people fighting people... Not a good directive for creating drama. Those first episodes are nearly unwatchable now.
Did you by chance read the Eugenics Wars novels? I'd never read any trek novels before, but was curious. I was pleasantly surprised. Khan vs. Gary 7... Kinda cool! The Writer did a good job of taking real historical events and recontextualizing them in terms of Trek history.

So. Let's see. Friday I went out back home to an old haunt, and laughed at an old friend getting more hammered than I've seen him in ages. Saturday was spent mostly doing boring but necessary housework and then watching DVDs whilst feasting on Mexican food. Sunday I did a whole load of typing and then participated in the usual Sunday night game.
Generally though...

id' like to think that the world would be better in 10, 20 30, 50 years but one can never know. maybe people will learn to pull their heads out of their asses and and realize that religeous and cultural differences dont make people bad, evil or wrong. but i dont know, all we can do i wait and watch.

cos thats where my family live. And i am a bit of geek
Breed77 kicked ass last night. Glad to see their live sound just keep getting better. Real shame to see them booted offstage though by the management after 6 songs due to the tight schedule. They deserve to do well. I hope they play again soon.
The first band Violent Delight were absolute toilet. Why anyone would give these talentless waster monkeys the time of day...

Hmm. Well my friend's wedding on Saturday went well, up into the point I potentially, shamefully and possibly irrepairably made an idiot of myself. I don't have the guts to elaborate, except to that it's the kind of behaviour you'd expect from a dribbly wino with no self-respect, not from a rational, sensible human being. The thing is, people might not have noticed, but then...

i wouldn't worry too much about the drunken wedding episode. wouldn't be a British wedding without at least one drunken friend / family member / vicar spicing things up
at least you have the humility to be upset about it.
sir, we salute you!

This week has been mostly spent fantasising about the other ways in which I could be spending my daylight hours.
Approximately 33% of the time the daydreaming revolves around winning large sums of money and then spending it on travelling, presents for friends and family, setting up businesses and sponsoring animal sanctuaries.
Another 33% or so involves me imagining that my favourite bands evar are...

You're far from London? I don't remember...
I've been having this persistent thought of starting a band again... maybe we should talk about that sometime.
And the prophet thing is an interesting concept indeed.

I know those daydreams... When I'm in a good mood they tend to be a lot like you describe. When I'm in a bad mood, however, I dream about my secret volcanic island and private army.
Wireless home networking is the Best Thing Evar!!! Man, I'm such a geek...
Finally had our xmas bash at work, which was ok, relaxed, but didn't get an opportunity to find out much from my bosses as we didn't get that hammered.
Trying to dodge the lurgy, and hoping I having got the dreaded tonsilitus again
Heading out on Saturday to look at suits etc....

lol i'm exactly the same about glastonbury, every year i tell myself 'i'll go next year' but i never seem to get round to it. maybe next year huh? i'd love to have gone to download but it clashed with my exams and probably will do again next year. regarding the 'unpleasant shit', everything's ok now thanks
i did have the frustration thing covered but now i'm home from uni for the summer so don't get to see my man much. i'm seeing him tomorrow though

ah man... a week with nothing to do sounds like heaven woo....
Apart from playtesting and catching up with a few old friends the highlight of the weekend was going to see The Day After Tomorrow. I didn't expect too much and thusly I wasn't too disappointed either. The visuals were pretty stunning, although the 'story' ('plot' would be far too generous) is flimsy and is spun simply around the destruction of the world. Not sure about...

thank you hehe you think too much dude.
hehe you think too much dude.Anthrax rock. So glad I got to see them again. Plenty of old skool tunes too this time around. And the Astoria wasn't as sweaty and nasty as I'd thought it'd be given the weather.
Also ran into some old friends from sixth form days, which was cool, if rather bizarre. And one of them's married and his wife's about to have their baby!
Tsk....

I can usually remember the basic gist of the stories and legends but do have to reference back to my book collection. Plus most can be found on the net, although translations do vary a lot of the time. I'd like to remember it all though

awwww, cheers mate, I've quite forgotten what specifically I'd said, but I can imagine Thanks for taking the time to drop by

Glad you liked the patch... I seem to recall it was one of the ones used on the security personnel. Or summats.
Modelmaking? We always need new blood. Unfortunately we need people who can hit the job running, ie read architectural/engineering drawings, use machinery, know their way around resins and sprayrooms, that kinda thing. There are courses, and munch has considered dropping out for 3 years to do one
