“The new sci-fi” at Guardian

Choice WTF moments (for me)…

Meanwhile, in the wider world, the event that has made sci-fi and fantasy palatable, and indeed positively appealing, to a mainstream audience is 9/11.

As Doctor Who supremo Russell T Davies notes, albeit while emphasising the optimism of his own show: “We live in a time of terror.”

Eh?

My nose is making squeaking noises at me.

I think I may have caught a(nother) cold…

Now we know what they eat: radishes!

I have my car back!
And it drives!
W/Y/H!

I am happy.
Very happy.

I like it when CT does cool cloud things.

A group of about six or fifty-three* americans just came into the shop and blitzed their cash and credit cards on quality South East Asian merchandise, more than doubling the week’s sales.

America(n cash and credit cards), fuck yeah!

update 15.18 p.m. more of them! blimey!

* - it all happened so fast. They were all blurry like.

And so I’m spending far too much time interwebbing.

Scaryduck often comes up with a few gems and there’re some up at the mo’:
condensed films.
Check it. Yo.

…slightly less insanely stressed out note - my latest genius business idea.

They’re LOL Caps (writing on them in upper-case for that extra modicum of meta-comedy (It’s in CAPS. Geddit?))

GAH!
fucking fuckspacs!

So, after resending it, and calling every ten minutes until I got hold of the incompetent fucking moron dealing with my case, I’m finally confirmed with the bus fuckers that they’ve got my “yes, it’s okay that you’re screwing me out of lots of money because your retarded fucknut bus driver didn’t look where he was fucking going, but I’ll take what I can get since I really need the pittance you’ve seen fit to give me” form.
So he told me it will only take two or three more weeks for me to get the money. I asked him if he was joking. He said no, that’s the procedure. And that I did take a month to get the form back to him. So another two or three weeks is not so bad. Gah! Fucker!

I hope he dies a slow, painful death.
Under a bus.
With hadedas eating his eyeballs.
After sprinkling chilli on them.

Grr.

And another (non-bus) thing: Ha! Serves you fucking right!
Ex Web client had site with only front page working. I get on the case, sort it out in a few days, many pages up. Some time later client spazzes out, I ditch her. Some time later new web guys are on board, set up site on their servers and stuff. Current status: only front page working.
Mwahahahaha!
If I didn’t believe in karma already¹, I would now!

GRAAA!

*breathe*

Ooh, I feel much better now.
Rants are great.

I’m going to go and play with my grumpy gorilla, camp teddy bear and demonic goat.
In my village.
Which is probably very messy since I haven’t been there in months.

I woke up quite stiff this morning

Be careful what you ask for

So, I did get more ill.
Saturday afternoon / evening I suddenly became feverish.
And spent the rest of the day, and Sunday, mostly lying on the couch going “bleh” and being looked after by parfait (woo!).

Unfortunately, I didn’t get ill enough to just pass out, then wake up later feeling better.
I was just ill enough not to be able to do anything except sit about and grumble about being ill.
Sassen, as they say, frassen.

Ended up not being in the shop yesterday in the hope that I’d be more or less tip top today.
Much better, but still groggy headed.

In other news, car almost fixed.
In related other news, where’s my money you bus-fucking bus fuckers?
