What significant things have I done today?

[Sibling Chatty]

Today, I got out of the bed and walked to my computer all by myself. And I didn't throw up on anyone or anything.

I hadn't managed that in a week or more!!

Good to hear from you again!

The most significant thing I've done to day is sleeping!

I visited the museum of 'all the stuff that qualifies as art but was not made in Europe and/or is of ethnologocal value'
Formally it is a collection of museums in a single building that keeps changing its name on an irregular base.
The main topic of interest on my visit today was an exhibition (ending this Sunday) of Japanese paintings and coloured prints concerning the..eh..red light milieu* (there even was a warning sign at the entrance concerning minors or other sensitive humans  )

*including works of Hokusai (but without tentacle rape)

Three days ago** I watched Memoirs of a Geisha. Reasonably close to the book - gets 3 plus points on my filmometer.

**topic catch up post

But wait !  The previous post includes mention of things Japanese. Could this be mere coincidence ?  I think not !

I wish the computer could walk to you.

I was reading stuff on palliative care...... and controlling nausea.... I wish they'd stop kidding us.....   hmmm rather

Well, I *think* I'm on the mend.  I'm not currently experiencing an elevated temperature.  But, I've also taken 1000mg of Tylenol, which can reduce such things.

My left tonsil is swollen and sore-- so it's likely suffering from a mild infection.  (yes, I still have both of these things...)

But, I'm feeling generally better.

And I've 2 more days to get better, before *ker-snap* back to the slave-mines!

Bought the last of the clothing I absolutely needed yesterday and got up at a reasonable hour today!

Up at 6AM to accept delivery of boiler parts. Should soon have a 96% efficient boiler and a knackered bank account. Spent the day decorating and waiting for the new Dr Who announcement. It's Matt Smith (don't know much about him, was hoping for Russell Tovey, but at least it's not Anne Widdecombe).

[Griffin NoName]

He was ace in Party Animals. I think he will be a fabulous Dr Who.

However, I have commented less favourably over in one of the Evolution threads

Significant? Today? De Nada!  I am just about to watch Andy Marr & Gordon Brown (recorded - 9 am. on a Sunday NO WAY) but it is already tomorrow.

Back to work today, after an excellent festive season.

First thing we did was begin the office war with the helicopters. then I brought out the USB missiles I got for Christmas (cheers, bro) and tried to shoot them down. No successes as yet, but early days, early days.


I love working here.

I spent most of yesterday and some of today kicking a new laptop with MS Vista OS into submission...

If it had been mine I would probably have jumped on it but it's my bonus dads however I have to take a closer look at linux because there's noway I'm going to buy a new computer with a OS like that...

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

One word: Ubuntu (send me a PM if you need some guidance).

Today I went to pick up my birds which were boarding at the vet's while we were away. They were a bit confounded at first but now they are in my shoulders preening their feathers as usual.

Reconfigured life plans for the next 5 years because  I discovered stoopid correspondence program for my BSc has biennial rather than annual intakes  (different city, perhaps...  I could do 12 months of seat time instead of 2 years of correspondence).  Significantly, the immediate plan for the next year and a bit does not change, so lots of time for mulling alternatives.

Bonding lunch with D-i-L Number Two. Nice.

..... then I brought out the USB missiles I got for Christmas .......

Got any USB badgers?

[Pachyderm]

No, when it comes to wildlife I prefer the live versions.

And with the addition of the missile launcher, I dont have any spare USB ports.

I am considering a multi-port splitter thing, with LOTS of missile launchers for a volley effect, ranged along the front of my desk.

Watch out for "Congestion Charging" 

Ordered a TV that is big enough for me to see. Odd, but along with mars bars, my existing TVs seem to be getting smaller these days, although I suppose that is in line with Time Lords getting younger.
