We complete on buying our house next friday.

I've never given anyone that much money before... do you think they'll take it in coppers?

That's a mighty heavy load to carry in a suitcase secured by hand-cuffs to your wrist, that.

I was thinking a bag with "SWAG" written on it, and a black and white striped tshirt.

Jim Caviezel

Hobo Batman? Really?

Don't forget he is also Wyatt Earp's brother

(It's a long standing crush)

More importantly he IS the Count of Monte Cristo!

I own that movie but I still haven't watched it.

He is also Jesus but I tend to pretend that isn't the case - it just doesn't feel right perving on Christ.

You are

Movie adaptions of books that I have read usually hold little appeal to me. The fact that it has Jim in it is the main reason I own it. I'll watch it eventually.

Yesterday: I watched Kate Upton doing a little Cat Daddy dance in a very, very tiny bikini for Terry Richardson (Terry's World).

Today: Melanie Iglesias and Lisa Ramos do their own version for shit and giggles.

It also has Guy Pierce and Richard Harris...and is fucking amazing! Seriously, you need to watch it!

Had a great day!

I did a presentation in front of everybody important at Dominos Pizza UK, about 200 people showed up for the event (yikes), regarding student marketing and I fucking nailed it.

I had only 3 days to prepare as one of the guys who was supposed to do it dropped out and was nervous as hell before I started, but as it was stuff I do generally it just rolled off the tongue.

I made one error and that was not switching to the second slide until I was halfway through it, but I laughed it off and the audience was on my side by then. *phew*

Highlight of the day: The resident cougar, she just happens to be in charge of Store evaluation, was wearing a strapless red dress with shiny strappy translucent bits holding her dress together at the front. She looked utterly hot and it was a source of constant amusement to our team as we watched everyone (including the ladies) do their utter best to try to avoid looking at her cleavage, and when she artfully looked away for whatever reason, generated that eye popping cheeky look we all know and love so well in the people talking to her at that time. As for me...I was in before the gang and she greeted me at the door and unlike everyone else I didnt even wait for the 'lookaway', my eyes, of their own volition, just did their job. I think I even swayed backwards, once again involuntarily. I recovered, but it was with a massive application of will and effort. I was tired, that's my excuse, up till 4 in the morning going over the presentation and up at 8. Still I felt like homer simpson..."Ive made my decision"

There were other classic moments, but I have to get to the gym...

I like doing a full look over and then saying "You look nice." in a casual voice. Get it over with and then show 'em you can appreciate the physical stuff for a bit before getting down to brass tacks.

Or brass bedknobs, if things go well, eh? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

What Amph says. She's wearing that outfit to display her assets to their (and her) best advantage, appreciating her effort before restoring eye contact and complimenting her is only polite. Extensive oggling however, is not.

...wise words guys. But at the time I was not completely with it as I'd only had one coffee.

Later on she'd come over to have a chat with my boss and sat behind the group. She was saying, in that breathless voice of hers, "Archie, how long have we been in the system" my boss replied with 20 years. On cue I turned around and said "and neither of you show it" and turned back round. Archie chuckled and the cougar purred "O, I like this one" and ran her retractable claws down my back...at least that's what it felt like

I couldnt do wrong so I cheekily added "That's got to be worth at least a couple of 5 stars"

Fun times.

Anyway it's back to the hum drum

I backed Amanda Palmer's new Kickstarter CD/artbook/tour project...and it gives me immense joy to have done so! This is SO the future of music industry, fuck money grubbing record labels and corporations. Artists and fans can do this alone.

Clearly, if this project is any clue...

She put it up like 3 days ago asking for 100K in backing and already has nearly 450K. Amazing.
