It's just a 4 day week, followed by a 4 day weekend. The beacon of hope: thursday afternoon.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Had jury duty, sat there for an hour, and then it was announced that my potential case was settled out of court. Sorry people who "love" other people, but nothing is better than this feeling.

Got my confirmation phone call this morning. New job is a go.

Start tomorrow morning! Woohoo!! I'm sure the nerves will kick in soon enough, but relieved and excited to get a job doing film/tv work. First proper employment in this area after going back to college to do a film course. No clue to what i will be doing specifically, but who cares. Job!!!!!

Congrats. You should do a documentary about how difficult it is to get a job.

The ongoing mystery of my two year olds whiffy breath was solved this morning... when a Dr hooked a piece of bath sponge out of his nose.

It looked and smelled like it has been there for weeks!
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Had a sessions with my PT yesterday. Found out I've gained aproximately a kilo and a half of muscle mass and lost two kilos of fat since the last test about two months ago. I'm rather pleased with that.

At the last minute I got on the guest list for a Guided by Voices show on Thursday that is doubling as a release party for a beer they are teaming up with Dogfish Head Brewery to make and sell.
Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

Beer sponsor and GBV. That sounds like a glorious disaster in the making.

I'm counting on it.

Had some bloody good jams with our very own Studious Lock these last 2 days.
Believe me when I say he's as good a mandolin player as he says he is.
Awesome.

Scanning or transmission or something else? And which methods are you using?
