Well I had a very busy weekend. It was great.
On Friday I watched Shaun of the Dead (or Sean of the dead or something I can't really remember how it was spelt). Then SaturdayI went shopping with Mum for all kinds of stuff including some material for me to make pjs with. Then I had to re-pot a ton of my plants which took awhile.
As for my pjs I cut out all the material - it is a great pattern - cow spots all over it. We watched The Terminal that night, which was quite good I thought. On Sunday I went back to the fabric shop and bought some more material to make pj pants for Darren. Then I made them. He loves them - welll that's what he said. He did tell me that if I'd made them he'd wear them no matter what pattern they were, so he can't really complain that he got black with flames all over.
I need a really good book to read now as I've finished my other one. I'm sort of reading a non-fiction book about Marcel Duchamp but it would be nice to have something a little more engaging for night-time reading. And I know I've got Harry Potter to read but I don' t quite feel like giving into it just yet. So if anyone has any recommendations I'm open to them!
Have a nice day!
:-) M

Well I had a meeting there so the odds were pretty high!
I hope you tell Nick that I was wearing pink! Since he loves it so much.
I have just found the most completely useless progress bar in the world.
I am exporting from Outlook emails I have received from a mailing list. Currently there is a dialog that has counted down from 25 minutes in about 10 seconds roughly 20 times so far.
And each time in closes and reopens, so I have no idea when it wll finish.
I feel I am at the distinct risk of being sucked into some sort of time vortex.
OF DEATH.
If it's still sucking you in by the time work has finished I'll come in and drag you out!
And Andrew can also vouch for the pinkness of my top. It's a new one my Mummy bought me (thanks Mum!) in the weekend and I love it! It has a print of an old French art exhibition advertisment from 1898 on the front.
Yes, I can verify it is pink.
It registers 7.3 on the Schimter-Harrigan pink-o-scale.
When I eat apples I get hungrier does anyone else find this?
yes I get hungry when I eat fruit.
Also I want to know is whatever Andrew is talking about similar in any way to the Stargate countdown?
Hi Kirsty!! How's it going?
I ate a piece of bread and it seems to have helped my hunger situation.
And yes it sounds like Andrew's countdown is remarkedly similar to the Stargate Countdown.
Wow! Amazing!
I got there just in time and cancelled it with 0.00000001 of a second remaining!
Whew.
Lets hope that just like in stargate I dont have to handle another nerve-wracking countdown for a least, well, 2-3 days.
So you saved the day from the Replicators. Well done.
I thought I had a meeting at 12:30 and I raced back from looking at 'excessive discharge' only being 15 mins late and there was no one there! I could have stayed and looked longer it seems...
Kirsty, you have such a great job.
Imagine looking at "excessive discharge" for a living!
Progress bars in Microsoft products do not measure time in the normal sense. A Microsoft "minute" is measured based on the length of time it takes for the elevator (lift to those not from North America ;)) to arrive, the crosswalk light to change, the bus to arrive, etc. What did you think of Shaun of the Dead?
Yeah thanks Andrew for saving the day!! Could you please tell Daniel to take off his shirt?
And I thought Shaun of the Dead had some very funny moments, but overall it was just ok. The kind of thing you had to be in the mood for.
minnie i suggest you read harry potter
you have five to read before the new one comes out july
i wish i was able to read it again for the first time
it most definately is. none of the stuff i like about the books comes across at all in the movies. the movies have a whole different feel to them.
i would definately definately say to read the books! they don't take very long
i could use some banana cake minnie
I don't think I want to read Harry Potter tho!
If my flatmates are reading they may be interested in my dilemma. I have a banana and I'm hungry. So I could eat the banana. Or I could not eat it and use it to make a banana cake tonight. What to do?
Harry Potter is EXCELLENT. I have had the next book on order since April. Anyone who has not read Harry Potter will not be let in the house tonight.
Hi Mindy I am good today, well a little tired from all that excessive discharge looking. It was from a chimney, nothing gross.

Well I can't very well make cake if I'm not allowed in the house can I?
Also was that really Andrew or was that Kirsty just pretending?
I think that we have a majority none the less and I'll starve in the interest of cake.
I didn't know Killer Chicken lived with us! Now I'm kinda scared of being let in the house
Eat me
I watch over you when you sleep. You never know that I am there.
Don't we have bananas at home?
I have a spare in my office if you would like to use it.
CAKE

Yes that would be a plan Adam but you need nice squishy bananas for cakes.
I won't starve tho, I have some baby cookie times to eat if I get desperate.
Yes the Da Vinci Code is good. And if you like it a lot and haven't had much experience with thrillers then you may find some other thriller authors equally as good.
We already have 2 rotting banana in the kitchen. You probably don't need 3.
Da Vinci Code was fantastic isn't it?
Read Harry Potter. At least it doesn't take long.
Is George related to Boris?
CAKE
No we only have one squishy banana at home. And I really need two.
The one in your office would be greatly appreciated but only if it means you won't starve.
Kirsty the one I took was one of the aging ones... NOT ROTTEN THO!
George is Mindy's ostrich. Stuffed. At least I think it is George.
Anyway, he was the inspiration for Boris. Especially the honking.
Who the hell is Robot Jim?
i will give you a banana for free minnie if you make me a cake
i need one as i am studying
Mine is not especially squishy.
I will bring it and we can reassess at that point.
I for one welcome our robot jim overlord.
if you like made up crap (the da vinci code) then you should like harry potter. it is fantasy too.
You stole the banana?!
CAKE
I did not STEAL the banana. Anyway it's gone now. I ate it.
So there!
Bring your one home anyway Andrew, if it's not sweet (squishy) enough we can just add sugar. Mmmmm banana cake.
were we all aware that miranda richardson is in the goblet of fire? i am not sure if it had been discussed.
He's sweet enough as it is.
Aw shucks.
Oi! Get a room bananas!
Also no we weren't aware. What is goblets of fire?
I just had a little weird thing where it looked like Adams eyes were shifting left and right which was quite freaky.
hp film coming out at the end of this year
What is your record for number of comments Mindy?
Even with cake adjustments, we must be close.
Come on everyone! Just one more comment each and we will get there!
Hmmm.... Strange telethon flashbacks.
I think the record was 72. So we've still got a wee way to go.
But thanks to all the inanimate objects I share my flat with for commenting, it really helped! It must be because Andrew got his computer fixed.
Who are you calling inanimate?
I am humanoid! I am sentient!
Just when I think my soul is to be set free, you drag my back down. You heartless bastard.
Woah! Calm down Jim I was talking about the others
who you calling inanimate?
"Me back down", not "my back down". Damn, my one great dramatic moment and I screwed it up. I'm no good for anything.
Back to the factory for me, under the terms of return-to-base warranty.
Goodbye cruel world.
Well you don't have to sound so damn cheery about it.
He was just being nice. Are you related to Marvin? You are aren't you?
No
Yes he is Maureen.
The world knows now. All these years we have just been pretending.
The truth shall set us free.
Oh my god!
I love you dad!
The world is good again.
Thank you Mindy, you are an angel that has brought light into my heart.
That is a fake O'Neill! My pet rock would never say anything that mean. He is lovely and well mannered.
Great, now everyone knows I am a robot whore.
You just couldn't leave it alone, could you Hank?
I've always fancied being a robot whore
There - I did it.
74 comments and counting.
Yay! 74 comments and counting.
Is being a robot whore anything like being in Nevada and being a whore?
Does being a robot whore pay well?
would you be able to relate to it in that case?
Apparently. Although I have absolutely no recollection personally. But I've been told.
