Oh yes!
Overtime has slowed down considerably (leaving at 9PM now!), so I’ve taken up watching things that have been sitting on my hard drive for an inordinate amount of time.
I don’t know if you guys have heard of this show, but Pushing Daisies is an incredible show. It’s so cute and sad and funny at the same time. I absolutely love it. They could have totally done something entirely morbid and dark with it, but it isn’t. The whole color scheme and dichotomy between death and pie reminds me of Edward Scissor hands. This has been on my hard drive since October of ’07.
Next up I will watch Green Wing. It has been on my hard drive since August of ’07.
Then, who knows. Advice?
Also, one of the audio engineers on TFU has a cyberman model. He is my new best friend, but he doesn’t know it yet.
Furthermore, I try to say HTML/CSS sometimes. It gets especially bad when I attempt yelling at someone by saying “<b style=”font-size:72pt;”>WORDS</b>”.
In addition to that, I tend to try to end sentences (or terminate them) in a semicolon…
One last thing, I’ve put 10 of my favorite songs from GTA IV on my iPod. This will most certainly not end well. Look for me on the news!
Oh yes, a few weeks ago the marketing guy from LucasArts gathered all the people who are working on TFU and put them in the MP lab, he said we’re going to be in a magazine. I’ll be the one wearing pink and looking like I hadn’t slept… because I hadn’t.
Apparently I enjoy typing as this was just going to be me mentioning that I’ve started watching Pushing Daisies.
Also, I’ve come to notice I have a very distinct way of talking… You see, I believe that there is only one word that accurately describes any given situation and I strive to use them. When confronted with a word I do not know, I will research it and consequently add it to my vocabulary. For instance: brephophagist; it means one who eats babies. I thought this would hardly come up in conversation, until I saw Pan’s Labyrinth. I also seem to usually paraphrase things in a more verbose/easily punned manner.
I believe that is all.

So…
I come home from work today, and I see a package on my doorstep. I’m not expecting anything (my remote control fart machine and fake poop arrived yesterday). I look at the return label on the package to try to decipher what it could be.
It’s a bit blurry, but it says:
Mrs. Doris Floribunda’s
Agricultural Emporium
Street of Cunning Artificers
Ankh Morpork
Excellent!
I open it and inside I find the following:
and two of these:
The slip reads:
Glorious 25th of May
And those who died defending our rights to:
Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love
And
A Hard-Boiled Egg
We remember:
Horace Nancyball
Billy Wiglet
Reginald Shoe
Cecil “Snouty” Clapman
Dai Dickins
And
Sergeant-At-Arms John Keel
In case you are wondering what this is all about, read Night Watch.
May 25th is also towel day.
