While reshelving books at work, I noticed one of the Goodkind books had a small rip in the cover. Damaged stock, must get rid of it. What a terrible shame.

Continuing the fight against Tairy=Rep!

Do you think your boss would find it suspicious if that happend to all his books?

or the hot lady passenger (it happens sometimes), not wasting effort shifting gears in traffic.

New forum rule, even if this is true, Sombra isn't allowed to mention sexytime anymore, I've only just eaten.

Jealousy is so unbecoming on you, spoilsport.

I'm (ab)using my new interwebz connection (prepaid so it's a bit steep, but oh well ...) by trawling through youtube for 80s classics.

Plus I have tomorrow off, so I can go pick up my new car, pop in a few CDs and go for a bit of a drive.

Ah, the 80's.

Don't forget theses classics then

First a couple of super cheesy singles

Kajagoogoo - Too Shy


Huamn League - Don't You Want Me


And then something non-dairy
Echo And The Bunnymen - Killing Moon

Despite hating so much of the music of the 80's, since it's the music of my childhood, i can't help but smile when i hear same of the super cheesy songs on the radio.

I am watching a Halloween episode of "Castle" where Nathan Fillion is done up in his Mal Reynolds gear as a "space cowboy". According to his on-screen daughter he wore it last 5 years ago and needs to "get over it". And the episode is about a victim done up as a vamp, featuring a few Buffy references, which he was also in.

I love in-jokes. I am a sad geek.

But it's so KEEEEEWWWWWLLLL!!!

I'm ashamed I chose to watch this over the T20 cricket match tonight that featured Warnie, Gilchrist and McGrath coming out retirement, and pretty much everyone who is awesome in Aussie cricket.

Then again, I'm kinda not, cos it was awesome! And I got the in-jokes too. I'm undecided as to whether that's sad or not.

[Slow Ben]

Why the hell would you be undecided? You damn well know its not!

[caladanbrood]

Spurs score NINE, England thrash South Africa, I had a drink with Rodeo, and now I'm drinking Doom Bar and cooking Beef Wellington. I don't think a day gets much better!

After seven months of unemployment, I am now gainfully employed again. As an IT specialist my previously hard earned skils obviously make me ideally suited for the position of sous chef at the Horse and Jockey pub, Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire. If any Malazanite is considering eating in our fantastic restaurant , let me know and I will ensure our friendly landlord welcomes you in the warmest possible way.

Seriously its a great pub with great food, and I am employed again!

Congrats on the new job Hinter. Job hunting ain't much fun.

I'm pretty happy now despite having to start flat hunting for the New year. Went and looked at a place today and it looks really nice, so at least i know i have one good option to fall back on.

@ Hinter


And Santa is too real; I asked!

Sounds like an ideal application of skills! I regularly drive right past you on the A419 on the way to and from Manchester, I might drop in sometime Is it expensive?

[MTS]

Congratz Hinter, you sound highly qualified for the job . I'm sure you'll do great.

In similar news, I am also gainfully employed once more. I'm no longer earning an exorbitant amount per hour for my age, but no more tutoring high school ignorami and I'll be getting many more hours.

[Tsundoku]

I had the day off - which doesn't even come out of my leave - so I picked my new car up today, then bought an electric jug (for visitors, I don't drink coffee or tea) a vacuum cleaner (bagless technology now? Well I never ... ) and a microwave (ahhhh, finally I can use my freezer for more than just Homer Hudson Chocolate Rock ice cream. Which was fine on it's own I assure you. All 6 tubs ).

I'm in such a good mood I even tracked this song down. It's corny but it's great.



I'm going to enjoy this mood for as long as it lasts. Into tomorrow would be nice. Fingers crossed.

@ everyone - thanks for your congrats

@ Mappo - well done yerself - feels good doesn't it?

@ Brood - two fishcakes (made in house) with a bit of salad for a tenner is taking the piss imho, but they are bloody good. Let me know if you drop in and I'll do my best to sort you out! I believe from previous posts you are also a proper man and drink real ale, in which case you will not be disappointed because the beer is very well kept. At the moment we have Otter Bitter (3.6%) which is about the best big session beer I've ever had, Adnams Broadside (4.9%) a richer stronger beer for those who can walk home, Reverend James which I've never tasted and, finally, my all time favourite - Waddy's 6X. Now, being a born and bred Wiltshireman I was weened on 6X and am considered as something of an expert on the stuff and I've rarely tasted better 6 than we have here. And if you have one too many, I'm sure I can put you up on the sofa as well...

[Tremolo]

Hinter, we should have the next malazan meet up at your pub me thinks! Those brews sounds tasty!

The sun is shining, yay!

I was just about to suggest that, I wonder if Hinter could get us free beer??

[LadyMTL]

What's making me happy...? I've started Xmas shopping. I know a lot of people would put this in the "Messing with your Groove" category but I love Christmas and I love Xmas shopping. If I may be allowed to brag a tiny bit, I always buy awesome presents.

I love me some Broadside. My aunt lives about three miles away from the Adnams brewery, so christmas gifts from her are always to be anticipated with joy And it's always hard to go wrong with a pint of Devizes' own.

Unfortunately when I go up to the manky meet I am going via Bath so I can give IH a lift, otherwise I would pop in en-route.
