Hello Facebook content regulators, I can't believe you stung me for solicitation when all I did was offer a free painting of a Phalacrocorax aristotelis by saying fancy a shag

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

My wife kicked ass with her testimony in front of congress. Very proud of her.

Hmmm, there's a lawyer over in the States I know who's done the whole Congree speech thing before. I wonder if they're known to your wife.

Oh now I've found one Louis Theroux as they went to school together.

Problem is I can't work and listen to people speaking at the same time. Darn it.

Really stoked. Went to see my favourite band, De Staat, yesterday in Manchester (Bandonthewall club). Gig was awesome and afterwards I had a chance to chat with the band as well as they were selling their oen merch. So cool.

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

No, I live in Sheffield but they didnt play in Sheffield. Manchester was the closest option. Really nice venue though!

I won food for about 15-20 people and a 58 inch Samsung from a drawing at the grocery store for the super bowl. However, I don’t want 15 people at my house and I think the tv I have is better than the one I just won. My wife is too busy this weekend to participate in any party. Mixed emotions here actually.

Wow, your groove must have been really shattered. I hope you get through this.

Congrats!

Also I checked, their wasn't a singly Mrs Luxury Yacht testifying before congress. Did she not take your name?

She goes by Dr. Luxury Wife

Got a call back for final interview for a cool job. Down to me and one other person. Of course the other person is an internal hire so...

I'm grateful for all of you! You're all smart and funny and kind. And you put up with me even when I can be a crank and, as the kids say, a little "extra". It's very appreciated.

I was contacted by a recruiter yesterday, looking to bring me in for an interview. It's an inhouse position at a major international firm and it would be incredible if I got it. It's incredible that I'm considered I'd say, but no complaints!

Thanks for the support, I am very excited by the whole thing, Though I have to try to temper myself, I|m definitely not the only person to be contacted.

But that salary, and working with more international tax, it would be so much fun!

Sombra, alas it's not a position at Napster (do they exist still?).
