Is it THAT time of the year already?

This blog has been following the ups and downs of my life since November 4th 2000. Amazingly, it's still going.

MC Hammer has a blog

No, really. MC Hammer has a blog. And it’s Here. Looks like it’s just started, and I have a feeling it’ll fizzle out in a couple of months once the publicity dies down. (EDIT, as of 14th Oct 2007, it didn’t and is still going)

I’m debating whether to place a permanent link to it on the right hand side. Sadly, there’s nothing much on there at the minute to interest me. (EDIT: I didn’t) Oh, and while I remember, I’ll move those dead links to other people’s abandoned blog’s such as Chris R’s and Lisa’s. such a shame.

Pump tip to release flow

… suggests a whiteboard marker at my place of employment. And oh, how I laughed at such obvious double entendre.

Just a quick post this one… Sam is back under house arrest after his… “affair” with next door’s dog. I feel sorry for the poor bugger. Senta is in heat too, so that’s probably why he did it.

Anyway, let me draw your attention to the following website.

http://www.led-live.com (no longer with us, don’t bother visiting)

It reminds me of the site floating around in the mid-90’s, which was pretty much the same. However, instead of using an LED display, it used one of those mechanical signs off the front of buses… which used mecahnical discs instead of LEDs.

I’m awaiting “www.mercuryvapour.co.uk” to appear on there, so keep watching. And, if you’ve arrived from there, Hello.

Sam

Sam’s great. He’s one of my two dogs.

Yesterday, he pissed on my bed. Today, he got through a gap in the fence and fucked the neighbour’s dog.

I use the term “great” very loosely.

Valentines, pt. 2

Well, I’m feeling shittier than I was a few hours ago. And, apparently, looking like it too…

I only switched the camera on for a few minutes, when the crew from #speccy (or at least the few who were “awake” at 1PM) said the following… nicks removed, just in case…

[13:18:29] * Scribbler for a laugh, puts the webcam on
[13:18:43] (Scribbler) I look as rough as I feel
[13:18:49] (M) scribcam
[13:18:50] (r) ooh jesus
[13:18:58] (r) http://scribcam.co.uk/
[13:19:00] (M) pfff!
[13:19:14] (M) oh god
[13:19:18] (M) GET TO THE DOCS
[13:19:21] (r) doctors, now
[13:19:22] (r) go
[13:19:23] (Scribbler) gee thanks
[13:19:48] (M) well you have an incredible “blearyness” around the eyes
[13:19:53] (M) that clearly says summat’s up
[13:20:00] (r) scrib, you look like death
[13:20:06] (D) nice, just as i am about to eat a kebab

Pfft. I put the fact that I look like death down to the fact I haven’t shaved since Thursday, haven’t brushed my hair since Saturday, the sharpness and the brightness are not quite set correctly on my camera, and I’d also just got out of bed. Oh, that, and the fact I actually feel like death. Though, I shall avoid the docs for the time being… surely we’ve all saw the terrible adverts with Sam The Tablet… “This man has a virus… I’m shite at fighting viruses!”. Or is it the other way around? Meh, I can’t remember.

Instead, I shall attempt to pump my body full of water, and hope this thing gets flushed out at some point….

And, as predicted, I did indeed receive only slightly less than one Valentines card this morning…

There’s the postie disappearing into the distance, and I sob quietly to myself, knowing that I shall be spending Valentines Day, cold and alone, like I’ve spent every day for nigh on 4 years. Then it suddenly hit me. For the past 5 valentines, I’ve not been in *anyone’s* thoughts. That made me feel even lonelier.

So, before I filled the bath up and reached for the toaster, I decided to take my mind off it somewhat… and I decided to get some new PVR software working… namely GB-PVR. It doesn’t have as many features as Knoppmyth, but it does work under Windows… to a point.

Well, at first I thought they’d slashed the GMTV presenters’ budget considerably, but then I realised that my channels were mixed up, and that was Channel 5.

So, I finally got round to finding out how to change the channel frequencies (it’s only taken me about a month) and now it’s all sorted. So, I’ve got a whole night of toptastic telly to record and watch! Er… Hurrah!

Now, I’m back off to bed. I’ve only typed this to take my mind off how filled with mucus it is.

Valentines. Or, rather, lack of.

Ugh. I feel like shit again.

Yes, for the second time in two months, I’ve came down with some type of flu bug…. so I’m off work. Oh, goody. More money lost. On top of that, it’s Valentines Day!

Yes, another year where I will not be receiving a card. Five years in a row. God, I’m so desperately, desperately alone. There’s no need to link to previous years’ entries to know what I’ve said in them.

Valentines Day is a complete crock of shit anyway. Why should you wait until one day per YEAR to prove how much you love someone? Why can’t you do it 365 days a year?

Bollocks to it, I’m probably just bitter because I’m alone again, and pretty much helpless due to the way I’m feeling right about now. Off back to bed.

Suitsat’s still going, by the way. Very weak now, however.
