Vyvyan: That is the single most predictable and BORING thing that anyone could ever say whilst playing Monopoly.

Some of the comments below from people who don't get it make me weep for society.

I ♥ London

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Ladles and Jellyspoons,

I come before you, to stand behind you,
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday, which is Good Friday,
There will be a mothers' meeting for fathers only.
Admission is free, pay at the door,
Pull up a seat and sit on the floor.
We will be discussing the four corners of the round table.

Today DEXA. Tomorrow the world!

Today at work, I am being trained to use one of these:

It's a DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scanner for measuring bone density. Have never done DEXA before so this should be fun. Something to have on the CV anyway.

I'll stop. I can see you're bursting with excitement for me.

Arthur's Day

It's that time of year again. A time when people the world over get to celebrate the life and legacy of Arthur Guinness, creator of that most wonderful black stuff, by getting absolutely pissed, smashed, fucked, sloshed, plastered, loaded, twisted, trashed, wasted, hammered and any other slang word for inebriated you can think of. (There's about 247 more). 

So the story goes that Arthur Guinness, the pioneering brewer and philanthropist signed a 9,000 year lease on the St James’s Gate Brewery in 1759 and introduced Guinness to the world.

Mystery Jets

If you haven't heard this band, you really should. They're an English indie band and they rather rock. 

'Show Me The Light' and 'Flash a Hungry Smile' are particular faves of mine: 

Show Me The Light - Mystery Jets
Flash a Hungry Smile - Mystery Jets

Oh yeah.

                  What can I say. Chocolate bikkies are rock 'n' ROLL!

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it....

Inversoft. Pronto.

Things I know

I haven't actually written much on this blog so far. I'm more the visual type so I automatically prefer pictures to text. But anyhooo....I thought I should write something. Because that's the point no? 

I've often heard writers say you should write about 'what you know'. Well, I'm fairly certain that 'what I know' is unlikely to inspire or even interest much. But then again, I find it hard to care. So here it goes. 

I know:
 

- How to take and interpret x-rays.

- How to make ass-kicking pancakes.

- A lot about comedy.

- How to draw cartoons.

- How to annoy my twin.

- What I'm having for dinner later.
- How to shoot and score free throws in basketball.

- How to navigate the subway systems of New York, London and Athens.

- How to avoid a fist fight.

- How to detect insincerity.

- How to edit videos.

- How to be a total slob and a neat-freak.
- How to switch efficiently from one to the other.

- That God doesn't exist.

- When to shut up.

Here. Kill 15-20 minutes.

"DROWN THE FISHES!!!!"

- Drop Dead Fred.

Sucka.

This is my cat (1 of 2). We've had her since she was born but never got around to giving her a name. We just referred to her as 'Fat Cat' as opposed to her trimmer (though eviler) sister 'Little Cat'. Recently, I've taken to calling her 'Lipo' on account of her weight loss since coming off steroid treatment (for an autoimmune disorder...long story). She says hi. But is keeping an eye on you.
